I've never been big on putting on makeup daily. I got through spurts of deciding it's important (like every 5 years or so). Well I'm in one of those spurts and I need to start fresh with my makeup. Tell me what your basic everyday essentials are.
-
For makeup every day I wear:
Chanel foundation
YoungBlood translucent setting powder (I have oily/combo skin)
Nars Orgasm blush
DiorShow mascara
Chanel eyebrow pencil (just a little)My goal is to look natural, look like I have good skin (I don't , haha) but not “made up”. If I’m going out on date night or an evening work function or something I’ll put on eyeliner/shadow and maybe lipstick.

Makeup for me is:
Primer, currently Smashbox
Peach toned corrector: Click Sticks in Peach
Concealer: Nars
Foundation, Bobbi Brown
Setting powder: Sephora in yellow
Blush: Nars Orgasm
Bronzer: Physician's Formula
Mascara: Loreal, something in a gray tube
Lips: usually just balm -
Everyday Makeup:
Face - Younique liquid foundation, Clinique Blusher
Eyes - Younique cream shadow or Palette shadows & liner (brown or tan plus white) and Clinique lash doubling mascara
Lips - Beauty Counter Lip Sheer in NudeSpecial Occasion or Night - just more or more dramatic versions of the above! I may add fake eye lashes too...
-
Makeup only not counting lotions and potions:
This takes under 5mins.Tarte clay foundation mixed w a little moisturizer
Becca under eye concealer
Eye lash curler
White eye pencil (off brand or benefit) in corners of eyes and as eye liner. Smudge really good
Mac mascara
Nars bronzer
Stilla customizable blush -
My everyday makeup is:
L'Oreal Infallible Pro-Matte foundation
L'Oreal powder (forget the type)
Maybelline Great Lash Big mascara
Urban Decay black eyeliner
MAC lip glossI use Neutrogena sensitive skin moisturizer under my makeup.
-
I use Bare Minerals. I use their primer, concealer, foundation, blush, then a champagne eyeshadow, and mascara. It takes me about 5 minutes after I let primer set.
-
My daily essentials:
- Peter Thomas Roth CC Cream
- Smashbox High Definition Concealer (thanks to @rainbowsprinkles)
- Bobbi Brown bronzer
- Stila blush (self adjusting color)
- Clinique Naturally Glossy mascara for a more natural look, for more vavavoom I use Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara.
- Sugar Lip Treatment in RoséETA: I do use a little YSL Touche Eclat if my eyes are a little tired looking.
-
I've had hit-or-miss luck with the expensive products. If I find a cheaper product I love, I stick with it.
Makeup remover: Neutrogena oil free eye makeup remover
Face wash: h2O marine cleaning gel
Face lotion: Aveda botanical kinetics hydrating lotion (LOVE, but took me a few days to get used to the botanical scent which dissipates quickly)
Tinted moisturizer: Neutrogena healthy skin glow sheers illuminating tinted moisturizer (I like this a lot better than Laura Mercier)
Concealer: Neutrogena 3 in 1 concealer, I like it better than the benefit erase paste which seems to leave a shiny finish on me, and is a little dark for my fair skin.
Powder: Physicians Formula (I like it better than the Neutrogena powders which are more hard packed, but still my 2nd choice)
Blush: Nars
Eyeshadow: Ulta brand for matte, Naked 2 pallet for shimmer
Eyeliner: Ulta brand waterproof liner
Mascara: Maybelline falsies
Eyebrow pencil: Elf brand
Eyelash curler: shu uemura but I also like this little travel japonesque one I got recently -
I use a variety of mineral blushes from Silk Naturals.
Physician's Formula Organix mascara...I think that's the name.
Sunscreen lip balmIf I want to do more, like going out, I will add lipstick and eye shadow. I like MAC Syrup and Girl About Town.
-
My everyday is:
- Lioele dollface cc cream
- Kat Von D lock-it foundation
- Bobbi Brown bronzer
- Nars Orgasm blush
- Bobbi Brown brown gel eyeliner (very close to top lash line to make eyelashes look longer)
- Urban Decay virgin eyeshadow
- Bare Minerals eyebrow powder to fill in eyebrows
- Benefit RollerLash mascara
- Sugar Lip Treatment lip balmIt sounds like a lot but it only takes about 5-10 minutes. My goals are really just to even out my skin tone, brighten it up a little (very pale), and even out my eyebrows.
-
Y'all rock. I see some of my old favorites mentioned (DiorShow Mascara, Urban Decay eyeliner and Nars Orgasm blush).
I used to use Bare Minerals everything but I finally discarded the drawer full of stuff that I accumulated and was hoarding and I want to just get a few solid everyday items that I will actually use.
-
Mac BB cream, Mac refined golden bronzer, Mars blush, base light Mac eye primer, shroom Mac eyeshadow, I draw in my brows with powder, Diorshow mascara, Bobby brown tangerine gloss.
-
Buxom mascara, Benefit eyeliner in brown, and either Nars Orgasm blush (work) or Benefit cheek stain (weekends).
