This is me. I have a little bit of Laura Mercier silk creme foundation (rose ivory) on with some cover girl pressed powder (classic ivory) over it in this pic. That has been the extent of my face makeup routine for as long as I can remember. Please help me figure out what I should be using/doing! I know I have areas that should be color corrected, dark circles, fine lines, contoured, etc. So, please look at the pic and give me your opinions on what I need in my "every day arsenal". THANK YOU! P.S. I have combination skin. My heritage is rican, irish and czech. My skin is fair or light. I can't tell what my undertones are (yellow, pink, etc). Let me know if you need any other information!

I think some creamy concealer under your eyes, maybelline age rewind concealer us awesome. a nice taupe colored eye brow pencil/powder. a natural colored eye shadow trio, from cover girl, maybelline, or nyx have great ones. peachy bronze blush. a peachy, pink, or berry lippy.

Thank you, Kim! I ordered a few products from Sephora online and I am thinking after watching some tutorials that I may take them into the store and exchange them or just get my money back and get a few things from somewhere else. I got the tarte maracuja creaseless concealer, clinique bb cream, and mineral veil powder. However, I think I want to do primer, foundation, concealer, contour, highlight, blush and lipstick..I agree that my eyebrows need to be colored in a bit more.. and an eye shadow trio would be fine, I am more focused on getting the full coverage face makeup done correctly to shape my face and get rid of the imperfections.

I could see you as Kim said with a taupe color brow and some mascara. Tarte light camera lashes is a great one,imo. Smashbox has a great taupe colored brow pencil, so does Lorac. Your eyes are beautiful, would love to see you bring them out more!

For contouring I love COVER FX's cream contour kit! Primer wise I change it up depending on my skin (combo here too). I tend to use my Smashbox Photo Finish primer most often but interchange it with Tartes brightening primer!

Try using eye corrector before using concealer. I use Bobbi Brown eye corrector. It's amazing. IT cosmetics is a great brand too.

Ok ladies! Update time... I received my sephora products in the mail and then went to the store for a color IQ match. Turns out, I am definitely a fair skin tone with YELLOW undertones. So, instead of the Rose Ivory I have been using, they recommended I use the Creme Ivory. So, I traded in my Clinique BB cream and mineral veil for the Laura Mercier Creme Ivory foundation. A bit steep in my opinion, but worth the price if it goes a long way and gives me the matte finish I want. So my morning routine this morning was this: Apricot cleanser, Ole Henrikson Vit C Collagen Booster, Tarte Maracuja concealer, Laura Mercier Creme Foundation, then eyeliner, eyeshadow, mascara, Becca Shimering Skin Perfector in Moonshine, then finally Urban Decay all day makeup setting spray.

I see a difference in my overall coverage, but I think I may add a highlighter and some contouring once I master this initial process first. Thanks again to everyone's tips!
