Should I feel confident with no makeup on? Sure. Do I? Meh. Maybe if I have glasses on and half of my face is covered. I don't hate the way I look without makeup on but I definitely feel more confident with a little help from my cosmetic friends. I have had dark circles under my eyes for as long as I can remember (having allergies my entire life means I have rubbed my eyes a lot over the years) and I have light eye lashes. So I feel my best with a little bit of concealer, mascara and blush for good measure.
Even before becoming a mom I didn't have the patience for a full face of makeup every day. Actually, before becoming a mom I had less time to put on makeup because I would literally roll out of bed 15 minutes before I had to leave for work.
I just showed you my updated skincare routine so I thought I would show you my updated every day makeup look and favourite products! I love trying new makeup (such an expensive hobby) but I've been using this concealer combo and mascara for 5 months now. This blush palette is new-ish and while I like it so far I have yet to find my ride or die blush.
Tarte Limited-Edition Blush Bazaar Amazonian Clay Blush Palette -
I'm not particularly loyal to one brand of blush. I have been having a
really tough time finding a blush I love so I decided to try this
palette. What I am really loving about it is that there are a variety of
colours and I can usually find a colour that goes with every makeup
look.
Tarte Shape Tape
(in light) - It's a little drying on my super dry skin but on top of a
creamy colour corrector it's
amaaaaaazing and easily the best concealer at covering dark circles that I've ever tried.
YSL Volume Effet Mascara - My new favourite mascara. It's long lasting and creates the most gorgeous fluffy eye lashes.
Benefit Erase Paste (in medium) - OH MY GOSH, IT'S BEEN DISCONTINUED. EVERYONE PANIC. Juuuust kidding. Well, I'm only half kidding. Technically it has been discontinued but please don't panic. After a trip to Sephora and some very helpful gals I have hope again. Benefit rebranded the Erase Paste into their Bo-ing Concealer range as the Brightening concealer. I was told nothing had changed but read reviews that it was a little more drying. They gave me a sample and so far it seems pretty similar so all is not lost. I also read some great reviews about the IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye Corrector so I decided to give it a try in the colour light. I've used it a couple times and I'm happy to report I really like it. It doesn't have the pinky tinge the Benefit corrector has so I wasn't sure how it would perform but it's nice and creamy so it pairs well with the Shape Tape. I also liked the coverage on my dark under eyes.
