Everyday Makeup, Part 2

I've been staring at numbers in the office all day, and I think I'm entitled to a little bit of kakikayan. Haha! I posted something similar a year ago and though my routine is basically the same, a lot of products have changed.

I wash my face in the shower with a deep pore control cleansing foam. I got this as a sample from work and liked it so much that I'm already on my third tube. I'm currently using an anti-shine gel since I liked Neutrogena's version (but it was too pricey, hehe). My only worry is that it doesn't have SPF. Haven't used powder or BB cream in a looong time, but I've been using an eye primer/brightener almost every day. I love it! I got myself an eye brow pencil in brown because before this, I was only using my mom's old M&S one. Haha! I probably shouldn't have since it's super old. I only fill in the inner part of my brows since that's the only part that really needs, well, to be filled out. I usually stop at this point and just curl my lashes and swipe on a coat of mascara. But if I'm feeling extra arte (or I woke up earlier than usual), I'll try and put some eye makeup on. My cousin brought home this palette for me and I love it! I'll finish off with some blush and a little lip balm. On days when I like a little bit of color, I'll put on a lip balm stain (I have one in an orangey tone and another one in a bright pink).

P.S.
I finally found a shade of red for me! Two to be precise: Tony Moly Real Red and Maybelline Very Cherry. (:

Everyday Makeup

I don't really wear makeup every single day, but when I do, it's really simple. Just powder, blush, a swipe of mascara, and winged liner (which is the only kind of eye makeup I've mastered, I think).



After applying moisturizer (I've been using Garnier Light for a while now. I'm thinking of going back to Neutrogena after I finish this jar), I put Avon's Simply Pretty pressed powder in Natural (01). I know this is supposed to be for teens but I love it because even when I'm tanned or not, the color looks the same one me. Plus, it's really cheap! Then I put a bit of Majolica Majorca's Puff de Cheek in Peach Macaron (02), which doesn't look too bright on my cheeks. I usually stop at this point and just curl my lashes and add a coat of clear mascara (03). I use Penshoppe Pop. But if I'm attending an event or meeting my friends after work, I add a coat of Majolica Majorca's Lash Expander in Brown (03) and line my eyes close to the lash line with either Etude House's Proof 10 liner in Brown (04) or Majolica Majorca's Cream Eye Pencil in Bitter Brown (05). For my lips, I usually just put lip balm. My current fave is Ganache for Lips Chocolate Orange (07), which was a gift from my friend Marla. I top with either Estee Lauder's Rose Tea (06) or The Body Shop's Delipscious in Sheer Saffron (08).

That wasn't so exciting, I know. Haha! But I'm trying to expand my makeup know-how and products starting with a shade of red that won't look strange on my weirdly-shaped lips. I'll let you know if I find one!
