If I'm running out to go shopping or getting ready for work in the morning, my basic routine is applying primer before using NARS concealer to my dark under eye circles and any other problem spots (thanks adult acne!). I then apply foundation which I'm happy to say I recently switched back to MAC's Studio Fix in NC40 and blend in the concealer. Next, I apply NARS blush in Deep Throat, and add some skin perfector across my cheekbones to brighten up my look before completing my look with my eyes.
For my eyes, I go without eyeliner during the week and just use mascara and some of Benefit's Eye Bright in the inner corners to help me look more awake. If I use eyeshadow, I am usually reaching for one of my Naked Palettes (2 and 3 are my favorite). I finish off the look with some light gloss and head out the door.
Some days, I go bare minimum with some hydrating primer, concealer, foundation, mascara, and blush.
What is your go-to daily look?
My look is similar to your, except I use a BB cream instead of a primer during the week. I save primer and foundation for weekend looks, since it takes a lil bit longer. I love the Naked 3 palette because it's so versatile and the colors are awesome. I always enjoy a make up post, fun learning more about you :)!
ReplyDeletemy typical go-to is the "don't look like a corpse" look so i just use enough makeup to not scare people! it's literally a 3-min routine: concealer, curl eye lashes, a bit of eyeliner and done.
ReplyDeleteI am laughing at Kathys comment above...the "don't look like a corpse look" haha. I love that Naked 3 palette--all the pretty light neutral colors you need!
ReplyDeleteThis is pretty much my go-to every day look as well! I'm glad that you're back to being a MAC girl - seriously they have the best foundations and pressed powders!! Did you see UD is releasing their smoky palette!!! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteMy during the week makeup routine is pretty similar to yours but on the weekends I slack off majorly haha! Primer doesnt get applied unless Im going out and doing something socially and most of the time neither does eyeshadow, eyeliner or anything other than the basics haha!
ReplyDeleteI like that you are using a lot of NARS products. I'm a NARS girl through and through!! Haha. I feel like I have a routine, too but at the same time I mix things up sometimes. I'll have to try that NARS concealer some time and that sparkly lipgloss is pretty. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love learning makeup tips through other people, it's how I get my best tips! I love nars blushes! They are my favorite and the only kind I use! In the summer my routine slacks and I use the bare minimal too.
ReplyDeleteLoooove that NARS concealer and you know how I feel about the Studio Fix :) My routine is pretty similar, too - except I always have to have eyeliner on! I feel like I look like a zombie without it!
ReplyDeleteI love NARS blushes.
ReplyDeleteMy daily: under eye concealer, mascara, and Fresh Sugar lip treatment in Ruby.
becca is one of my fave highlighters!
ReplyDeleteWe use a lot of he same products! Naked 2 & 3 are my faves too!!
ReplyDeletei think my routine is pretty much the same every day: eyebrows, liner, mascara and done. i'm so lazy. but i have to have my eyeliner! i tried to not have it at work one week and everyone said i looked tired or different lol. so much for that :)

I love the naked palettes, they really work for any look that you are going for! My Sunday 2 minute routine is BB cream, under eye concealer and mascara. My weekday is BB cream, foundation, concealer, blush, bronzer, matte finishing powder, eye shadow, liner and mascara.
ReplyDeleteI always love seeing what other people use. I've used the falsies mascara before too. I feel like it's not as intense as I want it to be.
ReplyDeleteI really should start caring more what goes in my face -- I've like never used concealer/primer! Yikes!
ReplyDeleteOhhhh these are my favorite kind of posts! I try to keep my morning makeup routine in under 5 mins but that does lead to sometimes putting my mascara on in the parking lot before I walk into work ;)
ReplyDeleteI love a clean face! I love how you use neutrals and highlight to brighten it up! That is totally my style and I think it is a great way to make your face glow!
ReplyDeleteI love your whole color spectrum~
ReplyDeleteI am pretty low key during the week. It's usually just mosturizer, foundation, powder, eyeshadow and mascara. Love seeing other peoples routines.
ReplyDeletei love it! i think you always look lovely. perfect picks!
ReplyDeletelove it! your daily look is my fancy dressed up look haha. love my naked 3!
ReplyDeleteI want that Naked 3 palette! My everyday is BB cream, eyeshadow, liner, mascara, creme blush, and lipstick. Sometimes not even BB cream if I'm feeling lazy, lol!
