Make-Up Post

I’ve been meaning to do a make-up post for awhile and share with you guys my daily routine.  I often don’t wear make-up in the day unless I don’t think I’ll have time to go back home and get ready later. Big sunnies and a slick of Carmex are all I need on a day to day basis.  For evenings or on days I do wear make-up here is what I use:

Skin:  I like to keep it pretty simple.  The more tan I am the less I use on my skin.  Usually it’s just Gold Caviar BB Cream under my eyes and a layer of blush and bronzer.  I mix Bare Minerals Blush in Beauty and Bare Minerals Bronzer in Bronze.  If I do use foundation I prefer Bare Minerals Orignal SPF 15 Foudation in Golden Tan, especially with the insane humidity here in Hong Kong.  And on nights out I use Nars Illuminator in Copacabana as a highlighter.

Lips:  I almost always go for a light red lipgloss or bright red lipstick depending on the occasion.  My favourites are Mac Lipglass in Russian Red and Bare Minerals “Pretty Amazing” liquid lipstick in Strength.

Eyes: I prefer to go without eye make-up or do a full on smokey eye.  It’s all or nothing.  To create my smokey eye look I use a combination of Pupa Baked Eyeshadow in LUMINYS, Mac eyeshadow in Black Tied, and Bobbi Brown gel eyeliner in both brown and black.  I am not loyal to any mascara but the one I’m using at the moment is Maybelline “The False Lash.” 

Let me know if you have any more questions and I’ll try to answer on here or Twitter!!
