My Make-Up Essentials for Everyday

In my monthly favorites you are able to find a lot of make-up products. I’m usually not a person that uses a lot of make-up on a daily basis but I love to own it, search for it, buy it and so on. I have a lot of make-up products, especially a lot of lipsticks and eye shadows. But that doesn’t mean that I use a lot every day. My daily make-up routine is actually pretty simple and it depends a lot on where I’m going. When I’m going out to a party or a night club or a special event, I dress up and I put on a lot more make-up. But on a daily basis, I like to keep it really simple and natural.

What I think is very important before you put on any make-up at all, is to moisturize your skin as a solid basis. Dry skin is not what you want and make-up products do dry out your skin a little to a lot. So be sure to put on a face crème to moisturize your skin before. In the morning, I usually brush my teeth, wash my face and put some lotion onto my face. After I get dressed, I start with my make-up. My first essential that I use every day is a BB cream. The one I use is a toned moisturizing cream. After that, I use a concealer to cover up my blemishes and possible zits. I also use it under my eyes to brighten them up a little. I, then, use a light powder. I have very oily skin and I really hate it. Therefore, I use a matting powder in order to not look shiny. Then, I put a little more color back into my face by using a blush. I don’t overdo it with the blush, because it is still an everyday make-up and I only want to put a little bit on in order to not look pale. After that, I use a black eyeliner on my waterline, just because I’ve been doing that since I’m about 15 years old and I kind of feel that my make-up is not complete without it. I know, I’m weird sometimes. Anyway, I also use black mascara on my upper and lower lashes. Furthermore, I use a lip balm. And that is the finished look. When I’m in the mood and have the time in the morning I like to add a little eye shadow but just something very light, natural and simple. Or I use a natural looking lipstick, like a dusky pink or a nudeish color. Nothing fancy, just adding a little highlight on my face. Nevertheless, that doesn’t happen very often. During the summertime, when my skin is a little tanned, I sometimes just use mascara, lip balm, and a little powder due to my oily skin.

Sometimes, I’m in the mood to put on a little more make-up by creating a smokey eye in different color combinations or to use a more colorful lipstick like a red one. But that does not happen too often for an everyday look. I like to keep it very natural. That is the best way for me. Others might do it differently and that is totally fine. But for me personally, a natural everyday look is the preferred way.

Summarizing, all I use every day is a BB cream, concealer, powder, blush, mascara, eyeliner, and a lip balm. It is not much, but for me it is all I need.
