I have always been asked how i do my makeup & hence thought of writing all about it today. I honestly got into makeup once i turned 21. Before that, it was just eyeliner & no foundation for me! Makeup is a form of art. It’s the way you express yourself. Though i would love to paint my eyes in colours of the rainbow every single day, i have come to the realization that i prefer the basics.
Want to know how i do my makeup & what products i use to achieve this look? Scroll through!
Foundation
I start off my routine with the ‘Chanel Vitalumiere Fluide de teint‘ foundation. This is has been one of my favourite foundation ever since i purchased it. It’s extremely lightweight & is suitable for combination skin. It gives light-medium coverage & almost feels like a tinted moisturizer. I don’t use a Primer before applying the foundation because it doesn’t make a huge difference for me.
Dupe: Bourjois Healthy mix foundation
Eye makeup
Most people skip to the concealer after foundation but i prefer doing my eye makeup first. I use the ‘Bobbi brown Gel eyeliner’ to create a winged eyeliner look.
Note: If i get enough time, i use a dark brown Eye shadow as the base. Then fill in my lids with eyeliner & smudge it out with a black eyeshadow to give a smokey effect.
Dupe: The closest dupe to the Bobbi brown gel eyeliner is the Maybelline gel eyeliner. For the price, it does an amazing job!

Concealer
I dust off all the residue from the Eyeliner/Eye shadow under my eyes and use the ‘MAC Pro long wear concealer’ to brighten my under eye area. I don’t have dark circles but my eyes do tend to look tired from time to time. Hence, a concealer can be an instant solution for this issue!
Set the concealer with a loose powder. I usually use the ‘Rimmel London Stay Matte pressed powder’.
Dupe: L’oreal paris True Match concealer

Cheeks
Nothing can beat a cream blush because it adds a beautiful glow to your skin! You can also double up your lipstick as a blush as it would give the same effect. I usually go for the ‘Max factor cream blush’.

Lips
Every time you apply a coat of lipstick, pat your lips with a tissue paper to remove excess colour. Your lipstick would last for hours!
I prefer ‘MAC Mehr or Twig’ for everyday wear.
Other brands:
Revlon colorburst Matte lip balm
Extras
-You can also add a highlighter on the apples of your cheeks & the bridge of your nose.
The one i use is the ‘MAC Strobe cream’.
– I don’t wear Mascara on a day to day basis. However, my new found love is the ‘Bobbi brown Smokey Eye mascara’ which makes my lashes look super-long!
