Let me preface this post by saying I am no beauty expert!  I love finding a good make up that works for me, but most days it is minimal or nothing but serum and sunscreen.  Still some days require more, and I’ll give you my routine for that too!

Most days I just wear this C-Firma day serum, and then my unseen sunscreen, and I’m good to go.  If I need more coverage under my eyes I’ll put on a little concealer (shape tape).  For days when I need more coverage – and I’m going somewhere other than errands, kids activities, the gym, grocery store, etc… this is what I do —

Start with my eyes – I line with this pixi eyeliner (c/o) and use this tarte palette.  Generally just along the top eyelashes.  Usually I just wear one of the lighter colors all over, but if I’m feeling fancy (; I’ll put a darker color in the crevice of my eye.

Then I put the shape tape all under my eyes, and dab dab dab with the pointy part of my beauty blender.  Then I’ll put a little bit of my tarte foundation on my forehead, cheeks, and chin – then blend in with the beauty blender.

Then I use this palette from Tarte – park avenue princess for a little color.  I use these brushes for this – Stephanie recommended them to me.  Her make up always looks amazing, so I take her recs seriously!  I use the bronzers for wherever sun would naturally hit my face – my cheeks, my nose, my forehead – LRT says to do a heart motion.  I usually make sure there’s a little on my chin too.  I use the highlighter part of it on the very tops of my cheekbones.

I love this amazonian clay mascara.  I just can’t quit it.  I use one swipe on the bottom lashes, and a couple on the top.

Once in a blue moon I’ll want some eyelashes.  I use these naturals ones.  I find they aren’t overwhelming for my face/they look pretty natural – and you can pick them up at target.

for my lips I use this BITE agave lip mask in champagne rose gold.  I know it’s supposed to be a mask but I love the little bit of color it gives.  I also apply a coat of this sunscreen lipbalm.
