UPDATE: Everyday Work Look!

Happy New Year my Luvs! Today I will share my everyday makeup routine with you. It's simple! Every morning I wash my face with Ancient Cosmetics Authentic African Black Soap in the bar form. I then follow up with the Dickinson's Enhanced Witch Hazel Hydrating Toner with Rosewater and then Proactiv+ Complexion Hydrator as my daily moisturizer or the Proactiv+ Advanced Daily Oil Control if I'm wearing my makeup for more than 6 hours. When washing my face with the African black soap I use a facial exfoliate scrub to scrub away all the dead skin and bacteria on my skin. It makes my skin feel soft and more clean afterwards. I do this daily because I have combination skin and my pores get clog very quick. After wards I let my moisturizer set in before I start my makeup. To have that long lasting flawless makeup is all up to how you treat the canvas. A great daily facial routine helps tremendously.

 

So after I finish with prepping my face I begin with priming my entire face with MAC Pep & Prime Skin Base Visage Primer. I also add the NYX Shine Killer to my T-Zones area to help with my oily areas while wearing makeup for long hours. My choice of grooming brush for my eyebrows is the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brush #14 followed by MAC Spiked eyebrow pencil to outline my brows and Anastasia Beverly Hills Dip Brow in Smoke to fill in my brows. I then shape and clean my brow lines with my BH Cosmetics Studio Pro Contour Palette. I use the L.A. Girl Pro Conceal HD Concealer in Toast to conceal the dark spots in my face before applying my foundation. After applying my concealer & corrector I use the mini Khabuki brush from BH Cosmetics to blend the corrector in for a natural look. Next I apply MAC Studio Fix Fluid NW 44 with my BH Cosmetic Flat Blending brush. I apply this all over besides my eye area I use the powder form for it. I then slightly press and set the foundation in with my The Original Beauty Blender. After applying my foundation I then start my contouring phase, which is applying the Anastasia Beverly Hills Foundation Stick in Honey to my upper cheek area and forehead, then apply the MAC Blush in Sketch to the outer edge of my face line and lower cheek area. I blend and set with the NYX Matte Finish Setting Spray  with the The Original Beauty Blender.  I then apply Cover Girl Bronzer in 104 Golden Tan in my T-zone areas. For my blush I use the MAC Sweet As Cocoa which gives a soft and natural look. It's not too bold and it's also doesn't blend in like you have none on. Finally my eyes, I keep it plain by only using my foundation as my eye shadow, a natural brown from the BH Cosmetic Neutral Palette, and a light bronze shadow for my upper eye. Last but not least when it comes to my eyes I  apply the Maybelline NY Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel in Black to lash line and Makeup Forever Smoky mascara to my lashes. For my lips I use a MAC or NYX Lip Liner to line my lips and then Tarte Birthday Suit to the inner parts of my lips and blend for a perfect nude. The look I go for is a natural soft glam when I am at work. Like minimum as possible. 

A lot of my makeup I purchased at Ulta, Sephora, MAC, Marshall's & CVS. I try to blend as much high end and low end products to create my looks.
