Before I dive into my makeup routine, I always start with a thorough skincare regimen. When I began dabbling in makeup at thirteen, I was convinced that the secret to a flawless look lay in an arsenal of expensive products. But growing up has taught me that a great skincare routine is the true foundation for impeccable makeup, no matter the brand. You can discover all the details of my skincare routine here.
Here's my current makeup routine, perfected over years of experimentation and now featuring my holy grail products:
1. Eyebrows: I start by filling in the ends of my brows using the Too Faced "Sweet Peach" Palette. This versatile palette is my go-to for eyebrows, eyeshadow, eyeliner, blush, and even lip liner.
2. Concealer: Next, I clean up under my brows and prep my eyelids with the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer in ‘20’.
3. Base: I apply Erborian BB Crème all over my face for a smooth, even complexion.
4. Under-Eye Concealer: For my under eyes, I use the Tarte Shape Tape Concealer in the colour ‘medium sand’, blending the edges with the Fit Me Concealer.
5. Blush: As a liquid blush, I alternate between the Rare Beauty Blush in ‘Hope’ and the Milk Blush in ‘Rally’.
6. Powder: I set my T-zone and under-eye area with the Huda Beauty Powder.
7. Contour: I bronze and contour my face using both the Physicians Formula Bronzer in ‘Deep Bronzer’ and the Smashbox Contour Palette.
8. Eyeliner & Eyeshadow: I line my eyes with MAC Cosmetics Lipliner in ‘Chestnut’ and add a touch of shimmer on my lids from the Too Faced Palette.
9. Sculpting & Highlighting: I sculpt my face further by applying powder to clean up the edges under my cheekbones and eyeliner, then highlight my nose bridge and the tops of my cheeks with shimmer from the same palette.
10. Lips: I line my lips with MAC's lip liner in the shade 'Spice' and set it with a bit of eyeshadow.
11. Blending: I blend everything seamlessly with my trusty Real Techniques Everyday Essentials.
12. Mascara: I apply Tarte's Better Than Sex Mascara for voluminous lashes.
13. Lip Gloss: I finish my lips with either HAUS LABORATORIES Lip Gloss or Maybelline Lip Gloss in ‘006 REEF’.
14. Lashes: I apply my favorite set of lashes.
15. Setting Spray: Finally, I set the entire look with Charlotte Tilbury Setting Spray.
And there you have it—my complete makeup routine with the products I swear by. This routine has been honed through years of trial and error, and if I make any changes, you'll be the first to know.
