Everyday makeup routine

I prepped with the smashbox photo finish blemish control primer to keep my breakouts at bay. This doesn't really have a super silicone-y feel, which I'm not sure about but it does make my makeup last quite a bit. Then I used my cover girl clean foundation in 155 soft honey on my beautyblender. Then I used my maybelline fit me concealer in 20 Medium under my eyes, on the bridge of my nose, forehead, cupids bow, and chin. I also blended that out with my beautyblender. Then I used my NYX HD studio photogenic powder in translucent on a fluffy brush. seriously, the softest powder ever- I like it so much more than the MUFE one. Then I used the Tarte bronzer in park avenue princess on a medium sized kabuki brush. Then I used the cocoa contour palette and I mixed medium and dark cocoa and contoured my nose with the Soho tapered crease brush. Then I took medium cocoa on a Chanel brush (it came with a bronzer) to contour my cheekbones. I like this brush so much more than the Nars Ida, which I really didn't like. Then I used the Milani Baked Blush in dolce pink on the apples of my cheeks. Then I took the Josie Maran Argan Enlightenment Illuminizer on the tops of my cheekbones, above the arch of the brow, on the brow bone, Cupid's bow, tip of the nose, and chin on a Soho contour brush. I set it with Pop of Light from the top faced contour palette. I then filled in my brows with the Anastasia Brow Wiz in dark brown and set it with the Anastasia Brow Fix brow wax. Then I used the Mac studio finish concealer in NW25 to clean up my brows. Then I used the doucce eye pencil on my upper lashline and the Rimmel scandal eyes in nude on my lower waterline. Next I use the NYX Skinny felt tip liner in Jet Black go create a small cat eye. Then I curl my lashes with the Revlon eyelash curler and use the Maybelline Lash Semsational in black. I wear whatever lip color I'm feeling that day- today I went for the Estée Lauder pure color lipstick in Bois De Rose. Lastly, I set my face with the Urban Decay all nighters setting spray.

I really enjoy reading what everyone else does - sometimes I borrow tips and trips or try other folks' products! Here's my typical routine:

Dot Kat Von D Lock-It foundation all over face
use my giant kabuki brush to blend in the foundation all over
Very light dusting of True Color Match pressed powder
Apply Urban Decay eyeshadow prep
Too Faced bullet proof brows application
Apply Urban Decay black pencil eyeliner to inner lip, upper only
Apply base eyeshadow, crease, and corner colors with their corresponding brushes
Blend above with my fave blender brush
Wet & Wild waterproof liquid liner - apply corner wings, then line upper lids
Apply mascara - I switch up my mascaras a lot; right now I am using 3D FabLash
Apply Anastasia highlighting powder to middle forehead, down center of nose, upper cheeks
Apply Anastastia contour powder to forehead hairline, down sides of nose, cheek hollows
Apply Too Faced heart blush
Spray with Urban Decay finishing spray
I don't wear lipsticks, but sometimes I'll apply a Tarte lip gloss
