So once all of my skincare routine is complete, i go straight in with a base for my makeup and for that i love to use some form of strobe cream, as it not only preps the skin but also moisturises and gives the appearance of a healthy glow. I first mentioned this particular strobing liquid in my recent five affordable november favourites post, where i went into full detail about the different ways to use this product.
I used to reach for this particular foundation a lot last year/the beginning of this year and then i ran out and forgot to repurchase it. That being said during Black Friday i decided to pick one up again and i honestly forgot how much i loved this foundation/concealer duo, it has amazing coverage, is light-weight and long wearing, not to mention quick/easy to blend out. I always opt for the shade 05 warm beige, as it matches me perfectly.
Once i have gone in with the base, foundation and concealer i will set my face with a light dusting on powder, which to be honest i switch up all the time as i have so many favourites. At the moment i have living for using the Laura Mercier powder again, as it is just flawless looking on the skin and is totally worth the huge mess i tend to make using it. Please tell me i am not the only one that tends to get loose powder everywhere?
Next up i will go ahead and fill in my brows lightly, as at this moment in time i am so happy with how full my brows are looking (thanks to the Benefit brow conditioning primer). I really like this pencil as it is easy to use, matches the colour of my brows perfectly and is a complete dupe for the Anastasia Beverly Hills brow definer, which would cost you almost £20 more than this one.
For eyes i will keep things super simple and just curl my lashes and then go in with mascara. This KIKO mascara as you might already know is such a favourite of mine, but even more so on those quick makeup days as you can get the desired long-lash effect instantly and effortlessly.
I had my eye on this highlighter for the longest time (which i will explain in more detail in a post coming soon), but long story short i will never ever skip on highlighter and i am really loving this one at the moment, it is simply beautiful. I just apply a little to the highest points of my cheeks, tip of my nose and cupids bow for a natural yet healthy looking glow.
Final step for the face and that is to add some colour and shape back into the face, no surprise that this is the bronzer i am still reaching for and if you have been reading my posts for some time, then you will know i just can't put this one from bareMinerals down. The formula/colour of this bronzer is honestly flawless and like nothing i have ever used before.

Finally to complete the look we can't forget a good nude lip combo and this is my lip of choice this month so far. I love how the two lip products look together, as it creates the most perfect slightly brown/autumnal beige peachy nude lip. That being said some days i will switch the lip combination up but it will more than likely be a nude ha ha!
