I am probably the
farthest thing from a makeup guru. I will be the first to admit I know
absolutely nothing about makeup. I have done the same thing since 8th
grade. I was taught how to apply makeup by the Clinque ladies in the
mall. Okay, maybe I have changed a few
small things, I know longer wear pink eye shadow daily and I’m not obsessed
with sparkly lip gloss any more. But, nonetheless, the rest has remained the
same. Clearly I am a creature of habit.
I have gotten
multiple emails and comments wanting me to do a post about my daily makeup
routine. I like to keep my makeup simple, natural, and basic. I don’t have a
ton of time in the mornings (I enjoy sleeping way too much) so I am usually
rushing to put any makeup on at all. This however, is what I end up applying
daily. Simple, easy, quick.
When you see my daily
routine, you’ll realize it’s far from glamorous. To be completely honest, I
never know what I’m doing with makeup. I wake up every morning wishing I had
someone to come in and do my makeup for me. So don’t take this as something
that is going to work for everyone, because honestly I don’t even know if it
works for me!
My mom has used
clinque her whole life, so when I was allowed to wear makeup in 8th
grade that’s what I was introduced to. I love all their products, especially
their foundation. I wear the lightest color (if you haven’t noticed already I
am very pale year round) and the fact
that it has SPF 15 in it, is a huge added bonus. I definitely need that. I have come to embrace my fair complexion!
These are the
products I use on a daily basis. My mom always claims that it looks kind of
harsh with just the eye liner, but I try my best to do it pretty light and
smear it into my lash line.
I don’t go out very
much, but whether it’s for a special occasion, or just a nice dinner it’s nice
to have something you can quickly add to your daily routine to just take it up
a notch. Over Christmas break I was in Nordstrom restocking on my daily
products, and I was introduced to these three things! The chubby sticks are so
easy to use for makeup dummies like me.
If you have any tips
for me, bring them on. But for now, I’m pretty content with my Clinque
products (even if I do the same thing
every day!)
What’s your daily
makeup routine??
Remember,

I am the same way! My mother used Clinque, so now I do. Sometimes I try to shake things up and wear something different, but it never lasts long. I always end up going back to the same thing everyday.

Changing up a makeup routine can be hard! Makeup isles can be intimidating. I've always wanted to try the Clinque chubby sticks!

I used to strictly use Clinique, but now I use a variety of products. I switched to Aveda foundation powder, but I also use Clinique liquid foundation as well. The Naked 2 palette is my go-to quick daily fix up, as well as their blush/bronzer/highlighter compact. It' so easy to use and really makes a difference!
