hee hee.. i love these threads

shower = at LEAST 25 minutes using one of my 985896598569845 shower gels and scrubs

1. wash face while in the shower (origins checks & balances)

2. toner (origins oil refiner)

3. moisturize (origins a perfect world & clinique moisture in control)

onto the next step....

4. powder (MAC studio fix)

5. brows (MAC clear brow gel)

6. eyes (scans my 987766354638239489 shadows and picks the ones that catch my eye and match my mood that day :twisted: ) & MAC zoomlash mascara

8. blush: whichever one suits my look of the day

Ok, this could take a while:
Shower, wash face etc.
Oh yeah, Contacts in.....really really speeds up the process.

Undereye moisturizer - biotherm hydrya-detox
Face moisturizer - biotherm aquasource gel
Concealer - mac nc20 new wand concealer
Make up for ever shine on powder (don't use foundation) this stuff is awesome
eyes - eyeshadow, mascara, eyeliner if I am leaving the house otherwise
I just use mascara
blush or bronzer - whatever mood strikes me
lipliner - duwop reverse lip liner
lipgloss - I don't usually wear lipstick, but I did just buy two of the new collection yesterday (frosti and the light pink sparkely one)
This takes about 20 - 30 mins depending on how much I get interupted
Hair - 10 to 15 mins. I have curly hair and I just have to straighten it
Probably about an hour to get ready on a fast day........we won't talk about all the bad makeup/hair days which take forever. Sigh.

I'm always in a horrible rush for school in the morning, so my routine does a bit like this:

1) Stumble out of bed and then fall asleep in the shower (this has happened multiple times). Awake with a jolt and wonder how much time has passed. Use facial exfoliator in the shower to save time.

2) Depending on what I'm doing with my hair that day, I put in any products that are leave-ins or have to be applied when it's wet.

3) Moisturize with Cetaphil Daily Moisturizer.

4) Put base on my eyes (typically UD primer potion) and apply max factor undereye concealer.

5) Put on some basic eye shadow since my little nap in the shower cost me my makeup creativity for the day. I apply a pearl-ish Loreal shadow with some tan shadow (revlon maybe?) in the crease. Lightly dust on some MAC Retrospeck so I don't look heinously boring.

6) Dark brown eyeliner (NYC) and Great Lash mascara, because while not my HG mascara, it's pretty damn good for five bucks.

7) Apply Neutrogena Clean Tint foundation (I'm acne-prone, so I like to stick with Neutrogena face products because they don't make me totally break out). Lightly dust some L'Oreal True Match (I think?) powder to stop shine.

8) Neutrogena blush in "Sweet Raisin". I just love this color.

9) After brushing my teeth, I put a coat of Burts Bee's lip balm (stick form) and then top that with the lipgloss du jour, oftentimes Neutrogena MoistureShine in Groove or Tickled.

10) Do a time check and notice that despite the fact that I cut a lot of make up corners, I'm still at least ten minutes behind and say a silent prayer that I didn't miss my bus.

Apply lip balm (generic) to get lips ready for later.

Shower 10 minutes (unless I'm doing my hair then 15-20 minutes). While in shower, wash face (alternate between Mario Badescu cleansing gel or LUSH Angels on bare skin scrub).

Dry off, apply moisturizer with spf 15 (Oil of Olay sensitive skin) and eye cream (Estee Lauder Daywear multioxidant eye cream spf 15). Let that soak in and get dressed, make breakfasts and lunches.

Makeup depends on time, mood, and meetings at work.
Fast, casual day: Lip gloss or tinted balm and that's it
Fast, meetings day: Mascara, gold deposit MSF, lipgloss or lipstick
Full face:
Translucent powder applied with brush (cornsilk)
MSF on top of this (I'm using this daily since I got it) as bronzer with focus on cheeks
Eyeshadow: Patina and Lucky Green or Sketch are current fave combos with Bamboom or Tanray paint as base.
Eyeliner: Fluidline in whatever color tickles my fancy applied with 209
Mascara: whatever sample I have around from GWPs, currently EL Futurist
Lips: Usually a lipglass or lustreglass if casual day. Meeting/"grown up" days usually Honeyflower or Pink Apertif lipstick, occasionally with liner but not usually.
Spritz of fragrance if I get a chance: Diptyque Oyedo

I have several levels of colouring my face 8). All start with a clean moistured face (Dr. Hauschka) and a nice scent.
I love to apply Make up and try to celebrate it with same nice music, cup of tea and enough time. I'm very busy, but I love my 20 minutes every morning...

This is my Daily Makeup Routine when I'm "making myself up"

1. Spray M.A.C. Fix + on my face and let dry
2. Use my 190 Brush to apply M.A.C. moisture feed/skin all over
3. Use the 187 Stippling Brush. Squeeze a small dabble of concealer onto a flat surface. Spray Fix + on to the 187 then buff buff buff onto skin.
4. Use NC43 and brush to apply foundation sparingly, try hard not to cake it on. (Using the Stippling Brush & concealer method is awesome, makes your skin look absolutely flawless)
5. Use Cream Color Base with whatver color eyeshadow I am using for the day (TIP: M.A.C.'s cream color base "Slick" works sooo well with the Blue family) try it!
6. Complete the eye makeup
7. Top off with lip conditioner, lipglass
8. Do Cheeks, bronzer or blush
9. Lastly, do brows, considering that I do my eyebrows with eyeshadow, & I shadow them in outisde of my natural brow hairs (since I lack some) it looks more natural and finished in the end.
YAY, now I'm done

.....

 

[jaci core]

if i have time, i like to use microfine refinisher before i go to bed so when i wake up, i have nice smooth skin. 8)

then after showering, and before doing my hair, i use oil control lotion so while i'm doing my hair, it sets in.

then i:

_define my eyebrows with era and #266 brush, and use smashbox browtech
_throw on a base like benefit lemonaid and/or bare canvas.
_ use concealer or YSL touche eclat anywhere if i need it.
_eyes; eyeshadows, blacktrack, and mascara.
_blush/bronzer/shimapgne MSF
_lipstick or lipglass if i'm in the mood.

and that's it!!
