my daily routine.

Today, I'm joining in the fun with Marissa at the boot for her winter beauty link-up! I have a few other steps to my daily routine both before {moisturizer and sunscreen!} and after {perfume!}, but I chose to focus on my daily make-up routine. Though I'm no expert, this is how I've learned to "make it work" over the last few years...but my process is always evolving and I love suggestions on how I can improve ;)

{find them here: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10 - 11 - 12}


I would say mine would likely be my full cover concealer--got to love those tired eyes from long 
nights of work and blogging ;) Heredity doesn't help me much on that front either {thanks Dad!}.
Be sure to stop by the boot and check out all the lovely beauty-centric posts from across the world! 
I can't wait to hear what your essential is! Hope your Tuesday is cheery and bright!

    mmm bare essentials - absolutely. I love their "a little sun" & I just tried Lancome mascara and am hooked. I'd sweat off anything more than that out here! :)

    Thanks for sharing!!!! your morning routine looks similar to mine. You apply your makeup well because you always look super flawless is your pics. I've heard great things about the Make-up Forever Concealer...I'm adding it to my wish list :)

    I need to make a commitment to myself to make an effort more on a daily basis with my hair and makeup. This routine makes even my going out routine look pathetic. I feel like my face would look really nice without too much makeup if I used this stuff...I'm going to have to mark this post and come back to it and start buying these things slowly but surely to build up a little routine of my own. :)

    I'm also a big Bare Minerals user. I just bought their primer yesterday and I'm dying to try it out this week!

    1. e.l.f. mineral infused mascara
    2. e.l.f. cream eyeliner in black or Ulta auntomatic black eye liner
    3. And sephora mineral loose powder foundation for "every day in a rush before work" make-up.

    That's not my full on routine by any means, but it is when I'm running out the door every morning. I Can't help it, but I just love sleep so much more!

    my everyday essential is blinc mascara - it does not flake, smear or give you 5pm raccoon eyes in the slightest!! I also love orgasm blush but looking for something with less shimmer these days -- anyone have any suggestions?

    these are some pretty amazing products. Urban Decay eyeliner is my favorite, and their primer potion is amazing!Still have yet to buy a NARS product...

    Wish I could use Bare Essentials - it gives me hives : /

    I'd say my favorite product that's done wonders is a MAC concealer - I use it as under-eye concealer and a primer on my lids. Sounds crazy, but it completely changes how I look!

    I love that shade of Essie - it's similar to the one that I've been wearing lately called "Case Study", which is by Essie as well

    My one daily essential is mascara and even then sometimes I dont wear it! I work from home so I rarely wear makeup during the week unless friends are coming over or we go out somewhere for dinner!

    I use Bobbi Brown eyeshadow, too! Although that's not super surprising as I use most Bobbi Brown stuff. ;)

    My "must-have" is always mascara. It makes such a difference!
