Been awhile since I updated so I thought I’d share my current routine :)
Step 1: always skin prep, I’m currently using products by Face Realty as directed by my aesthetician to prevent acne.
Step 2: colorescience skin tint w spf & concealer. I apply both with clean hands and have cut out a majority of brushes
Step 3: bronzer and blush! Givenchy blush is a loose powder so I built until desired shade
Step 4: brow gel and simple eye makeup
Step 5: setting spray, mascara and lip color!
Step 6: perfume and I’m out the door :) this miu miu one was a Christmas gift and I love it so much!! It’s a subtle sweet feminine smell and I love to layer it with other products.
Also I should note, the L’Oréal setting spray is a great dupe for the one size brand! I love that one but I’m out and didn’t want to spend a bunch and gave L’Oréal a shot ❤️
... Read moreI’ve found that starting with a focused skin prep routine really transforms how my makeup applies and lasts throughout the day. Using Face Realty products recommended by my aesthetician has significantly helped me prevent acne flare-ups, which is a game-changer for my confidence. I highly recommend consulting with a skincare professional to tailor your prep products just like I did.
Applying makeup with clean hands instead of brushes has been a surprisingly effective trick. It feels more hygienic and gives me better control over coverage, especially when using products like the Colorescience skin tint with SPF and concealer. The combination provides a lightweight, natural finish while protecting my skin from sun damage, which is essential in any makeup routine.
One of my favorite steps is layering bronzer and blush to build dimension on my face. Givenchy's loose powder blush allows me to customize color intensity gradually without looking cakey, and it blends seamlessly for a healthy flush.
For eye makeup, I keep it simple with a good brow gel and minimal shadows. It keeps my look fresh and effortless for workdays. Setting spray is a must to lock everything in place, and I recently discovered the L’Oréal setting spray as a fantastic, budget-friendly alternative to pricier brands—it doesn’t compromise on hold or finish.
Finishing off with mascara and a lip color helps me feel polished, and don’t forget perfume! I adore layering my Miu Miu eau de cologne; it adds a subtle sweet and feminine scent that lingers beautifully throughout the day. It’s a perfect touch that complements rather than overwhelms.
This routine has really evolved as I learn what works best for my skin and lifestyle. It’s not about having the most products but using the right ones with intention. If you’re thinking about updating your makeup routine, consider focusing on skincare prep and quality multitasking products like tinted SPF and versatile blushes. It saves time and enhances your natural beauty effortlessly.
