EASY EVERYDAY NATURALLY BRONZED MAKEUP ROUTINE

Hi friends! Today’s post is long overdue but I am so excited to share it with you. It’s an updated version of my everyday makeup routine! I did this post about a year ago and while I still use a lot of the same products I did add some new ones too that I can’t live without. I’m pretty simple when it comes to make up as I like everything to be super glowy and look natural so this everyday makeup round up will give you more of a bronzed look! I did a step by step IGTV video on so be sure to check that out HERE. Hopefully you will learn some new tips to let your inner beauty shine through! Let’s get started…

MOSITURIZE BEFORE YOU START! This is key and will help your makeup apply streak free all while keeping your skin hydrated. I LOVE the Ultra Repair Cream from First Aid Beauty!
Primer: I’ve been using the Hourglass primer lately and to be honest… it’s just okay! It’s a little expensive for my liking and I feel like I get better results with the POREfessional from Benefit so I think I’m going to go back to that one.
Foundation: This is my favorite step because I am absolutely obsessed with the NARS Sheer Glow Foundation! It has literally changed my life. It is more of a medium coverage but if you wanted more, you can easily build upon without looking cakey. I am using the shade Vallarius. *PRO TIP* I have been mixing in a couple drops of the L’Oreal Lumi Drops in the shade Golden Hour to add more of a bronzed look and I don’t know how I ever lived without it!! Just mix it on the back of your hand before applying on your face and prepare to be amazed! 😊
Concealer: You always want your concealer to be a little lighter than your foundation to really brighten up your face! I use the Tarte Shape Tape in the shade light medium honey. A little goes a long way so be careful when applying this! Be sure to set your concealer with a translucent powder to keep it in for the day.
Bronzer: This one from Becca gives the best color! I use the color Bronze Bondi so if you have lighter skin, I recommend Capri Coast. I apply it to my cheekbones, forehead, and jawline. This is on the bit of the pricer side but it gives such amazzzzing coloring with a hint of shimmer. Suck in your cheeks and smile at the same time while applying to give you a natural contour!
Blush: I usually use a MAC blush but if I want to add more glow I will use the It Cosmetics Confidence In Your Glow palette to add warmth, blush and highlight all at the same time! In the summer, I will use it alone in the summer time since it’s a 3 in one!
Brows: I have a whole blog post dedicated to how I naturally fill in my brows so be sure to check that out HERE! But this is my best kept secret in my makeup bag!! This eyebrow pencil is VERY similar to Anastasia Brow Wiz for get this… $5.99. It has a super thin tip to create natural strokes and a spoolie end to brush and blend. I use the shade Brunette.
Eyes: If you’ve been following me for awhile you might already know my trick! I always use my bronzer as eyeshadow to make it quick, easy, and add a little warmth to the eye area. I’ll go ahead and take the highlighter from the confidence in your glow palette and add it in the inner corners of my eyes to make them pop! Looks like you spent a lot of time on them when in reality it took less than 1 minute. WOO!
Mascara: I love all different types of mascaras but lately I’ve been hooked on BAG Gal Bang from benefit and the They’re Real! Both make your lashes look longer and fuller without the clumps!
Lips: My FAV part about doing my makeup because when you add a lip color it just makes everything come together! I am absolutely obsessed with the L’Oreal Lip Shine in the shade 904 Varnished Rosewood. It is SO hydrating and is the perfect mauve nude! I wear it every single day.
Top it off with some Urban Decay Setting Spray and you’re good to go sister! Bronzed, beautiful and ready to take on your day!
