What is your makeup routine?

I'm sure this has been done before, but someone happened to mention to me over the weekend that I wear too much makeup (which I totally disagree with....I don't look like Snooki or anything!). But, the comment was more about my foundation being too much.

For me I do a mouse foundation, a powder on top, some blush, 2 layers of eye shadow (darker on the whole lid and light in the corners) and mascara.

What do you do?

What is your makeup routine?

I use Maybelline Dream Smoothe Mousse, Bronzer, Eyeliner and Mascara. On the weekends I usually omit the Eyeliner.

Primer
Foundation
under eye concealer
powder
bronzer
blush
eye primer
eye shadow (this varies in how heavy/complicated it gets)
setting spray
curl lashes
mascara
lipstick/gloss

optional-
highlighter
eyeliner
eyebrow pencil
clear mascara for brows

It may just be the type of foundation & your application technique that makes it look too heavy.

I find mine looks more natural when I use a stippling brush & go light with the power. I actually use Bare Minerals Matte powder foundation as my powder b/c it doesn't cake up & doesn't make me break out.

Also, with eyeshadow, I find it can look like too much if the highlight in thr inner corner is too light, to sparkly, or covers to much area.

Re: What is your makeup routine?

What do you all use under eye concealer for? Is the skin there darker than the rest of your face? Just curious, I've only known one person who used it and she had dark areas underneath.

I only wear foundation if I'm going to a wedding or something and will be really done up .....
I actually have nice skin (thank you, Nana) so I don't need the foundation. I put the bronzer anywhere you'd get flushed from the sun - Cheeks, nose, and then lightly swpet around the forehead and jawline ......I don't wear a lot AT ALL .....just enough to give me some color

I forgot I also pencil my brown and use clear mascara to shape - have to do this after a bad waxing incident when I was 15 ......

Most people have under eye circles, in my experience anyway! if you don't, consider yourself very lucky! I've been wearing concealer since about 7th grade!

Seriously. I look like death before my make-up. I'm very pale and no matter how much sleep I get I have dark circles under my eyes. Even if I'm running too late for serious make-up, I always always always make sure to put on under eye concealer and eyeliner. I look like I'm half asleep otherwise.

ETA: On a normal day I wear (in this specific order):

Concealer, Foundation, Eyeliner, Bronzer, and Mascara.

If I'm going somewhere special I add a neutral eyeshadow because I don't know how to do anything fun there.

That area is actually paler than the rest of my face, which makes me look like a reverse raccoon. Chat Icon

But I've been noticing bagginess lately, so I guess we all have our challenges to overcome. I was curious if it had any affect on bags, but I guess not.

ok so based on what I'm reading, I don't think I wear too much makeup at all! But, I need to invest in some under eye concealer. What do you use? I have dark circles.

I get dark circles during fall allergy season. It's annoying bc people ask me if I'm tired Chat Icon normally I don't have them

Re: What is your makeup routine?

Many days, I don't wear makeup.
2-3 times a week:
Clinique city block on my cheeks (SPF 40)
Bb cream
Blush
Lip liner w a gloss
Mister light concealer under my eyes. Not sure it does much?
Pressed powder (just started this) not sure if I like using it though

Once a week I will do eyeliner and shadow. No mascara , I find myself rubbing my eyes to much to take it off
