HELP ME CHANGE MY MAKEUP ROUTINE

Since forever, my makeup routine has stayed the same and I'm bored. It consists of Laura Mercier foundation, Lancome mascara, Nars Bronzer, Mac Spice lip pencil and MAC lipstick/Stila lip gloss. Needs varying but don't know how!

you need to determine what you need to vary. Go heavier and more bold? Or more natural? More adventurous? More glowy? More fresh? More colour?

Why dont you check out pixiwoo on youtube, they copy celebrities make up, theirs so many different kinds of looks. I love them!

Lisa Eldridge's channel is good aswell.

I'd go for trying some eyeshadows, i never used to bother with them just eyeliner and my false lashes, but now i am hooked! Let us know what you decide!

The Urban Decay Naked eyeshadow set might be a good start - lots of neutrals (including some shimmery ones and some matt ones) that can be worn in a range of combinations. And maybe a Clinique Almost Lipstick instead of the lipgloss?

I would definitely experiment with some blush colours. No matter how little makeup I wear I always wear blush - it really gives your face a lift.

The Urban Decay Naked palette is a great suggestion too.

Have you thought of going into a counter and having a makeover? Whenever I need a bit of a change I go in to Bobbi Brown. Just phone up the counter in advance to make an appointment, it's free of charge and I find their artists tend to have more training and experience than other counters. You don't need to feel pressured to buy anything either.
