Morning Makeup Routine

IFB Project #16 asks bloggers to discuss their morning makeup routines. My makeup routine is pretty simple. After washing my face, I apply Mary Kay TimeWise Day Solution and then a foundation. Right now I am using CoverGirl NatureLux Silk Foundation, which I like to apply with a foundation brush for more even coverage. A touch of blush, a swipe of mascara, and a dab of lip balm finishes off my look. My current mascara is from blinc, a brand I was unfamiliar with until I won this mascara in a giveaway. The staying power is really great!

My routine does change a bit depending on where I am going that day. I reach for the Balm overshadow for times when I want to draw attention to my eyes. M.A.C. and Limecrime are favorites for when I want to play up my lips with bold colors.

What is your morning makeup routine like?
Any favorite products you use?

  5. I'm glad you shared this post! My morning makeup routine is pretty much the same and I don't like a lot of makeup. Sometimes I just wear sunscreen plus lip balm and I'm out the door. I use Aveeno mostly! xoxoxoo

  6. Nice post! I saw the challenge on IFB but decided not to participate, cause I don't usually have a morning makeup routine!
    Maybe next time!
