PASSION: MAKEUP ROUTINE

Putting makeup on is part of my routine specially when I'm working. Well I guess I need that   since I am an online English teacher for a video account. As much as possible, I want to look my best when I am facing my students.


Let's start with the routine.



First of all I put a moisturizer on my face Olay Total Effects 7 in 1 Day Cream.
I've been using this since my college days. 
I don't have break outs because of this product. 
It moisturizes the dry patches on the sides of my nose and lips.      











Foundation would be the next ting may it be liquid or powder. 
I usually use Maybelline Clear Smooth Aqua Gel Foundation.
It blends easily and does not have the cake-ish feel to it. 
The shade is a tad lighter than my skin color when applied but 
it oxidizes after few hours so the color matches my skin. 




                    


If I am being lazy or in a hurry, I just put on powder on my face. I also use Maybelline Clear Smooth Al in One Shine-Free Foundation. Same as the liquid, my face looks flawless. However,this product in particular always breaks even if it does not fall down or something. 



After foundation, I fill in my brows using Elf's Brow Gel 
and Powder. With my brush I take the Gel first then the Powder then I apply it to my brows. It stays on all day.









I curl my lashes, then apply two(2) coats of mascara.  The mascara I usually use is Maybelline's Hypercurl Volume Express (waterproof).    What i like about this product is that it makes my lashes voluminous.











Now on my cheeks I always use the Elf Contouring Blush & Bronzer Duo. It's really pigmented. However, what I don't like about , the bronzer has shimmers in it. I prefer a matte bronzer. But the blush has a pretty color. Matches morena skin. They say this is the dupe for Nars Orgasm blush & Laguna contouring duo.









For my lips I always use Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in rendezvous and smitten. The lasting power is awesome, it stays on for hours. I reapply only once. The lips feel hydrated as well. Not the usual stain lippies that dry your lips.
