Heading to the office three times a week means for me to put on a natural, put together, makeup look. For that I´ve tried lots of different products until I found the perfect routine that I feel comfortable in, whether from their texture, colour and lasting power, it just needs to be a good mixture of all to make me feel good throughout the whole working day.
I put the main focus on my base, if it looks good on it´s own I´m sure to feel good and ready for the day ahead. As a primer I´m currently using the Smashbox Photofinish Primer, it´s lightweight and keeps excess oil and shine at bay. At the same time I also like to start prepping my eyes for later, using the Urban Decay Eyeprimer Potion, a dream for oily eyelids.
The foundation I trust the most at the moment is the L´Oreal Perfect Match Foundation in Rosé Vanilla. This shade is a tiny bit darker than my actual skin, but it blends in so well that you can´t really see a difference and I luckily don´t have to deal with my pale skin anymore, haha. Besides that it´s also medium coverage and doesn´t feel heavy at all. The best drugstore concealer for under the eyes is the Maybelline FIt Me Concealer, it´s just the right coverage and blends in heavenly.
Even though the foundation is already a bit of help to not make me look as pale as I actually am, I love reaching for bronzer to add that extra hint of colour. The Bourjois Délice de Poudre Bronzer, is my go-to, even though it´s more orange toned than what I normally go for.
To set the base I use MAC´s MSF Powder in Light Plus only(!) to set my concealer, to fix everything else I use the NYX Matte Finish Fixing Spray.
It makes the complexion look so much fresher and just gives your skin a better chance to breath.
I just recently got my brows tinted at the Benefit Brow Bar so all I need to do to them is brush through them, with the Maybelline Brow Drama Tinted Brow Gel to keep my brows in place and fill in any spare areas.
At the moment I´m all about a bronzey smokey eye, to keep the smokey look at bay and make the eye look acceptable for the office rather than a night out, I use MAC´s Satin Taupe, a lovely brown shade with a grey undertone, and a large fluffy brush and blend it completely out so you really only set a small accent to your eyes.
It´s such a small step but makes a huge difference in how much effort it seems you put into your look.
Thanks to RevitaLash (full review here) my lashes actually started growing and are rather long now, so to add a bit of volume to them now I use the L´Oreal False Lash Architect Mascara.
Since I´ve already got a lot of going on, on my eyes I only like to add a hint of colour to my lips. I always switch between MAC Angel and KIKO Matte For You Lipstick in Sweety Mauve, the perfect "my lips but better" shades.
