What makeup do you wear?

Looking for inspiration to shake up my current routine! 🙈
Currently:
Garnier summer body applied every other night
Marc jacobs remarcable foundation
Rimmel stay matte powder
Mac warm soul blush
Makeup revolution bronzer
Primark pro definition mascara (better than ANY expensive one I've ever used!!)
Mac pattiseire lipstick
Rimmel lipgloss not sure of colour
Rimmel brow pencil in dark brown

Been using this routine for donkeys and looking to shake it up with some new products - anyone got any holy grails to recommend?

I also love hearing other people's makeup routines so also partly being nosey 😊

None. But probably I should try to look human

I don't wear it everyday but if I do...

Eyeshadow
Mascara
Eye liner
Tiny bit of blush
Occasionally clear lip gloss

Most of my stuff is Avon! If I wore it more often I'd justify a more expensive brand, but most of the time it starts turning yuck before I've even run out Grin

For typical daytime makeup, I'm currently using:
Eve Lom tinted moisturiser & loose powder (both recently discontinued Sad)
Estée Lauder double wear concealer
Glossier cloud paint blusher
Stila compact eyeshadow (neutral colours)
Collection 2000 black eyeliner pen

If I can be bothered I'll add a lipstick / chubby stick and and some black mascara (currently just a boots one)

None. How on earth do people find the time (or inclination) to plaster all those chemical products on their faces on a daily basis?!

Report
Ellapaella · 22/03/2018 19:43

Foundation - I have an obsession so use lots of different ones and often mix them together for the perfect texture/colour match. Favourite is ELDW.
Eyebrow definer (pencil)
Eyeshadow - a blend of 2 neutral shades, urban decay Naked Basics 2
Bronzer - benefit hoola or blusher
Mascara.
Brown eyeliner.
For a night out I do a more smoky eye with black eyeliner and use a highlighter (I like Anastasia Beverly Hills as is very subtle and not too shiny).
I always wear lipstick and currently like the Rimmel long lasting, it literally stays in for 12 hours +

I'm no expert, but many people can apply make up in a couple of minutes, which most people can find time for...

I'm not sure that a bit of mascara qualifies as 'plastering chemicals' all over. Chemicals are fairly hard to avoid these days. I doubt a bit of bronzer is going to make much difference to most people's toxic load.

Change some products for going out:

Eyeshadow- morphe or urban decay cosmic metals

Any lip liner or lipstick by NYX or mac!

I am pretty crap at applying it in fairness, trying to practice more 😂

Oh and urban decay setting spray is fantastic! I only use that for going out though - for everyday i use one of my (much) cheaper NYX ones (one is matte finish, other is dewey finish)

FluffySlippers21 · 22/03/2018 20:11

Ooh how do you find the nyx setting sprays?! I ran out of my urban decay one a couple months ago and haven't got round to replacing it yet! I absoloutet looooved it but deffo up for a cheaper alternative! 😄

Everyday look;
Nivea moisturiser
Nyx primer spray
Borjois healthy skin foundation mixed with a bit of Rimmel superstay foundation - perfect colour and staying power
Nyx contour palette
MUA or soap and glory highlight
Soap and glory supercat eyeliner pen (winged)
MUA eyeshadow, probably two different shades
Soap and glory archery eyebrow pencil
Elf translucent powder
Maybelline mascara
Nyx lip lingerie

@FluffySlippers21 theyre pretty good for the price! I think they're about £5 a bottle. I use the matte one over the loreal infallible matte finish foundation, and the dewey one over the loreal infallible stay fresh foundation. I usually alternate each day 😂 definitely worth a go if you dont want to splash out on the urban decay one (hence why i only use that one when im going out in the evening!). Im pretty obsessed with NYX in general!
