Morning Routine Spin-Off: Make-Up Routine

Right now, I probably use shadow MAYBE once a week. Other than that, I'm eyeliner and mascara.. that is it. Help! I have MAC foundation that I use for special events, should I be using that everyday? Lipstick? Gloss? Help! Help! Help! LOL Also, if there are any youtube videos for make-up morning routines, link them if you cannnnn. I'm eternally grateful to the LIF gods.

Also, how do heck do you stop yourself from rubbing your eyes in the morning? I'm scared I'll do my eye make-up and them just rub my eyes bc I'm tired and ruin it. I usually add on my eyeliner and mascara while I've been at work for an hour.

Edited for spelling

Morning Routine Spin-Off: Make-Up Routine

I use a tinted moisturizer everyday instead of foundation. I save foundation for when I want a full makeup look if I'm going out or have a party etc. I use an under eye concealer, eye liner, mascara, blush, and a lipstick. On rare occasion (if I have extra time) I'll use a shadow.

Re: Morning Routine Spin-Off: Make-Up Routine

I use powder foundation + bronzer + eyeliner. Thats it. I'm so lazy. I have bangs so I feel like eye makeup is a waste

Re: Morning Routine Spin-Off: Make-Up Routine

I don't wear shadow. Ever.
I wear mascara and eye liner

Re: Morning Routine Spin-Off: Make-Up Routine

Face lotion with SPF
Under eye concealer
Eyeliner, shadow, curl lashes, mascara
Lip balm, sometimes a gloss.

I've got it down to a ten-minute routine...I've had years of practice though!

I just got the Naked 3 palette and I'm like a kid in a candy store with it. I love eye makeup!

As for touching my eyes...I am always paranoid about touching even the skin around my eyes unless I have just washed my hands. I fear pink eye. So just tell yourself that you don't want to risk pink eye and that'll break the habit!

Re: Morning Routine Spin-Off: Make-Up Routine

If you have nice skin, I see no need for foundation and a ton of face prep -

In the summer I do a little blush, mascara, sometimes liner and gloss.

In the fall / winter / spring I mix a drop of liquid foundation into my daily moisturizer to even eveyrthing out - a light shadow, mascara, thin liner and blush & gloss -

I have annoying sensitive eyes, so I try not to put too much makeup on them - It always end up coming off anway if they start tearing or something -

Morning Routine Spin-Off: Make-Up Routine

The most important part of a makeup routine is having a good canvas; if you take care to prep your face, you can use less makeup and make what do you use go farther.

Olay Total Effects Face Wash
Dickinsons Witch Hazel toner
Clarins Super Restorative Eye Concentrate
Meaningful Beauty Crème de Serum

YSL Touche Éclat concealer/highlighter
Revlon Nearly Nude pressed powder
Blush (fave brands/staying power - Laura Geller Baked, Cargo, Stila Custom Color, Physicians Formula)
Eyeshadow (I keep it simple, usually a wash over the eyelid with a shimmery neutral and a little dark in the crease - UD Naked palettes are a great way to try lots of colors, it will become a staple)
Diorshow Mascara

Lip gloss (Rimmel Lip Vinyl in Buttered Popcorn/NYX Lip Butter in Tiramisu/Ulta Super Shiny Gloss in Charmed)

This whole routine takes less than 10 minutes and lasts all day.

Re: Morning Routine Spin-Off: Make-Up Routine

For work. I use, moisturizer and other serums in the winter. Foundation (in the summer I may do a tinted moisturizer or just bronzer, I don't work in the summer) and bronzer. I may add a little tint of pink blush on that. Then always mascara and shadow. Most days just a combo of bronze shadows. If I feel up to I use a liner and if I am really getting crazy I curl my lashes. I don't do lipstick most days. Maybe gloss. but, I never reapply.

Dr perricone no foundation foundation is like a tinted moisturizer. I love it. They also make a no mascara mascara, no blush blush, etc...it's fool proof for people who aren't super make up savvy. Oh and kandee johnson has some fast make up routines on Youtube.

These are her fast routines https://m.youtube.com/results?q=kandee%20johnson%20fast&sm=3

Re: Morning Routine Spin-Off: Make-Up Routine

I use bb cream almost everyday with a little blush, light eyeshadow and mascara with lip gloss.

Thats my basic makeup look but I like to go all out when I actually have somewhere to go.

Morning Routine Spin-Off: Make-Up Routine

I use laura mercier tinted moisturizer & mascara for my daily routine when im not doing much. If im going to work or doing stuff i will do concealer with a lighter powder under the eye then a darker powder for the rest of my face, blush and bronzer.
Sounds like a lot but all of it takes me 15 min tops... and it looks naturalish lol

Morning Routine Spin-Off: Make-Up Routine

bb cream or foundation depending on how tired I look I will put some concealer on
blush/bronzer duo
simple eyeshadow (usually Mac all that glitters, its a simple bwonish color that needs no blending or anything if wearing alone)
a coat or two of mascara
some lipgloss or lipstick
whole thing takes about 8 mins

Re: Morning Routine Spin-Off: Make-Up Routine

I wear foundation everyday, but it is a habit I got into when I had acne & now I feel naked without it.

If you have good skin you don't need it. You could use a tinted moisturizer, or just a pressed powder if you are oily. OR just concealer if you need it under the eyes.

I also wear eye makeup & probably spend too much time on it, but it makes me happy.

for quick eye makeup I like shadow sticks, but shadow isn't necessary.
I think mascara & lipstick make you look put together.

Blush can also help make you look more awake.

Re: Morning Routine Spin-Off: Make-Up Routine

Any recommendations on a concealer??

& I have sunspots so I think I'll need foundation or bb cream. Will bb cream help even out my tone and cover up my spots? Or should I just stick to foundation?

Re: Morning Routine Spin-Off: Make-Up Routine

My routine depends on how early I get up and how much my children are cooperating while trying to get them ready and off to school.

Minimally, I do a BB cream with a powder, Mascara and blush.

On a day like today when I had time....full face.
Primer, BB Cream, Mineral Powder, Blush with a little contouring, 3 shades of eyeshadow (brow, lid, crease) eyeliner, mascara and eyebrows. No lipstick/gloss....I never wear any, ever. I have naturally really full and pouty lips so they are fine bare and I prefer them that way.

Re: Morning Routine Spin-Off: Make-Up Routine

I clean and moisturize my face with aveeno. Then I apply concealer (mac) in a few places where I have dark spots (forehead, under eye, around the mouth) to even my skin tone.

Depending on the day and what type of mood I'm in I will use a powder (mac) or liquid foundation (Loreal forever stay). Powder is my go-to because it quicker and I don't need a lot of coverage.

I do eyeliner, mascara, eyebrows (shaping, filling in, and hi lighting because I love the way it looks and my eyebrows are horrible after years of waxing with inconsistent people).

I've mastered the whole routine to 10 minutes.

*A no makeup day for me still consists at the very least doing my eyebrows and maybe even a little mascara. (no concealer or foundation)

*A day with a special event consists of eyeshadow and a nice lip color. (in addition to my regular routine)

Re: Morning Routine Spin-Off: Make-Up Routine

Bare minerals is the only makeup that doesn't make me break out. I do foundation, then apply the foundation with a concealer brush on anything that needs coverage, blush, shadow, eyeliner, mascara. Takes less than 10 minutes. I resist the urge to rub!!

Morning Routine Spin-Off: Make-Up Routine

I found that combo items like a fluid to powder foundation are great. It saves so much time.
In order:
SPF moisturizer
Liquid to powder foundation with SPF
A little highlighter blush
Eyeliner
A sand colored shadow on my lids
Mascara
Lip gloss

6 mins tops! Sometimes I even finish my eyes in the car in the driveway..... But when I go out out I put on full shadow, top liner etc. don't go out to anything that important anymore, so my eyeshadow routine is so rare.
