My favourite part of getting ready to leave my house is always doing my makeup. Unfortunately, I start work every morning at 8 and have to leave the house by 7:20, which means that I don't often have enough time to spend applying a full face of makeup. After lots of experimenting with all of my products I have finally found a combination that doesn't take long to apply but gives me full coverage for an entire day. While I'll sometimes try to change some of the products, I always return to these staples because I think they work the best.
Step 1: Apply an even lawyer of Garnier BB Cream (I use the shade light/medium). I really took a chance with this product as I bought it in a 3-pack from Costco-- but I was immediately happy with my choice! (phew...)
Step 2: Brush a layer of MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation all over my face with a large powder brush
Step 3: Use a bronzer brush to apply bronzer to my temples and directly under my cheek bones. (The bronzer that I use for this step is discontinued from a previous MAC collection)
Step 4: Apply a peachy toned blush (also from a discontinued MAC collection) to the apples of my cheeks
Step 5: Lightly brush MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in the shade Soft and Gentle to the tops of my cheek bones
Step 6: Line and tight-line my eyes with Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in the shade Perversion
Step 7: Lastly I quickly apply mascara (I own at last 4 different mascaras from L'Oreal which I use interchangeably) and I'm all ready to go!
