What's your usual makeup routine?

[sally.]

What products do you guys like? I love tony moly and etude house.

i use korean skincare products and i absolutely love them! i thought korean makeup products would work well too but i think they?re more targeted for those with dry to normal skin. i have combination to oily skin so i can?t use them without looking shiny.

Spoiler: here are the specific products i use:

moisturizer - shiseido super revitalizing cream/clinque gel
sunscreen - shiseido ultimate sun protection
primer - givenchy mister mat/mufe hd primer
foundation - marc jacobs genius gel/mufe hd invisible cover
concealer - mufe full cover/mac studio finish
powder - mac mineralize skin finish natural/toofaced primer and poreless/mufe pro finish
blush - nars orgasm/nars sin
eyebrows - anastasia brow wiz, anastasia brow gel
lips - lots of different stuff but usually a mac lipstick/lip liner
spray - mac fix+

I don't wear make up because it's expensive and a waste of money.

I love being creative with make-up. Unless it's a special occasion, I have a pretty simple routine because I'm often in a hurry to get out of the house.

On most days, I use concealer to cover small things. I don't really need foundation, so I choose not to use it. Every now and then, when I can be bothered, I'll use eye-shadow for my eyelids, usually black or a darker colour (maybe more than one colour if I feel like it). Then I use pencil eye-liner, without winging it, and I only go halfway along the bottom of my eyes. It gives the effect of bigger, more awake eyes. Afterwards, I fill in the waterline of my eyes with the eye-liner. I use an eyelash curler to curl my eyelashes, then I use mascara. I finish off with lip gloss or lipstick, usually a lighter shade.

I prefer natural or simple colours, and there are days where I use only natural make-up.

I pretty much do the same thing everyday. light foundation, concealer, powder, eyebrows, cat eye, mascara, blush, and some neutral lipstick. sometimes I'll use eyeshadow, but most of the time I'm just too lazy for it.
my thing is cat eye all day everyday.

I'm a makeup hoard. During the summer, I usually don't wear makeup because 80% of the time I'm at home. But when I'm going somewhere I wear foundation, powder, bronzer, eyeshadow, eyeliner (winged, duh), and mascara.
My favorite, favorite foundation is covergirl 3-1, as someone who has skin problems, it completely covers EVERYTHING. It's amazing.
Once I bought the Naked 2, I do not use ANYTHING else for eyeshadow. It's a bit obsessive.

I usually do something similar everyday, but I'll change the eyeshadow color, my blush/bronzer, lipstick color or change my eyeliner up (one day make a skinny line and the next do a cat eye or something like that).

The only things that I use every single day are:
1- MAC Paint Pot in Soft Ochre. I use this as an eyeshadow primer or when I don't want to wear eyeshadow - it's flesh tone and opaque. It's also $17.50 a container but it takes a long time to go through one (I've had one last me a year and a half of daily use.)
2. Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Dark Circle Eraser - Self explanatory
3. Hard Candy Welcome Matte Mattifying Powder - I lightly dust this over my concealer.

Elf products are good for their price, meaning that they're typically garbage. Good makeup is expensive but it will last you a few months with daily use or even longer depending on how sparingly you use the products. It's better to save up and buy things that will look nice, foundation that won't make you look splotchy or break you out, and last longer than just buying whatever's cheapest and is extremely low quality.

I put lotion on my face, if that counts as anything. xD

 

[CookingOkasan]

No make up.

 

[Liquid Ocelot]

Every day of my life.

Well then. Thank you for the nightmares.

Mainly just concealer around my dark circles. I get enough sleep, it's just my eye shape.
Other than that, its always #iwokeuplikedis

[td]I like wearing makeup I usually don't leave the house without some sort of makeup on. It makes me feel more confident (that's my prerogative).
As of lately, I don't wear any foundation unless I'm going somewhere fancy & need to look presentable. If so, I start with face primer, foundation, and/or concealer, & then setting powder.
I then like to work on the brows! VERY important step for me. Eyebrows can make you or break you!
Then I move onto eyes! I usually wear eyeshadow on a daily basis. So eye primer then eyeshadow. I then like to do my mascara before I put on eyeliner. Curling my lashes after I've already applied eyeliner usually takes off like 1/4 of my eyeliner, LOL.
I finish up with contouring, lips, & then finishing spray.

I can do my makeup from anywhere between 5 minutes to an hour.

If I'm just doing errands, I'll just put on some mascara & bronzer [/td]

Oh, she's a sweetheart. She just does joke videos from time to time.

Ganguro does give me nightmares in general, though.

 

[xiaonu]

ahah, ganguro style definitely died out. I love that girl's youtube channel, she's very funny and sarcastic. Everyone has such unique ways of wearing their makeup ^^ I don't fill in my brows since they're full, but I do pluck them to make sure they look straight and not messy and stuff.

 

[remiaphasia]

That video was hilarious. The hello kitty stickers really made it.

my absolute favourite brand is mac, which is quite pricey but seeing as i spend little money on anything else, i can afford to splurge on makeup. i also love elf products which are on the cheaper end but still good quality. estee lauder is also another brand i love, but again it's quite pricey. i used to spend very little on makeup products, but since i've spent some more on it i've noticed a vast imorovement in my skin. however i wear a fair bit of makeup so it makes a lot more of a difference than it would for someone who wears little makeup.

i don't have a lot of money at all but i like to treat myself to makeup because i honestly only spend money on that and clothes, and i've been collecting makeup for over two years so yeah, long answer but there you go.

yeah it really just depends what you're getting from them, for that brand I only own their eyeliner + mascara but i've heard they have decent concealer too. i only use like one kind of foundation because everything else seems to be crap to my sensitive skin so i agree that when it comes to facial products always go for the higher quality.
