my current makeup routine

having two kids, one toddler and one baby makes it almost impossible to put makeup on my face. but for the sake of my growing makeup vanity, i have to use them. and not to make everyone running afraid because of my dark eyes and swollen face. okay.. that's when the kids are not sleeping well, but those days are almost gone now.. probably just when they were sick. i have such a considerate baby.

okay.. back to makeup routine. i usually never do full face for everyday.. but since i had to use up my foundation, i decided to use full face makeup when i went to work. but since it's already expired, now i can rest my face for lighter base makeup. before going over my routine, let's check what's inside my makeup vanity first.

base makeup: now, i only have two bb creams, one is liquid bb from the body shop, i used half of it, so i'm confident i might be able to used up all of it. the other one is compact bb cushion from innisfree. i've used one side and i've flipped it over, so it will be over soon. and my new addition and new addiction too is cc cream from my beauty story. it's perfect for everyday since it conceals my redness but very light. i can still see my freckles. and then i have la girl pro conceal hd as my concealer.

eye makeup: i have one eyeshadow palette, revealed 1 from coastal scent. i love it.. it's perfect since it has a lot of colors but mostly are basic. very usable for everyday use. on eyeliner department, i have several pencil/gel liners, the gold one from nyx, the navy one from loreal, the black one from my beauty story and the two timer from nyx. basically i use almost all of them. which one i grab. but i rarely use the two timer since i don't have enough time to draw cat eyes using the felt tip. now move on to mascara. since i have no time to curl my lashes, i just hope that my mascara can help lift my eyelashes. right now i'm using my loreal butterfly mascara and i have etude house 3 step volume and curling mascara as spare.

blushes: i do love my nyx powder blushes, but since they require brush to apply, somehow i just them on leisure time or on special occasion. on daily basis i use lip & cheek cream blush from my beauty story. i just use it with my finger and then top it with powder to set.

lipstick: on lip department i have a lot... right now i'm having 8 colourpop lippie stix, 3 revlon, 2 maybelline, 2 nyx lip cream, 2 my beauty story lipstick, 1 revlon lip gloss, 1 my beauty story lip gloss, and several mac samples. ouch.. i have a lot to finish..

now let's move on to my routine: this is basically what i use daily and i have to use them quick.

i started with my cc cream and then cover my dark eyes and redness either with bb cream or with concealer. then i pat the cream blush on my cheek. and then i will dust powder all over my face to set the base. after that i will do my eye. i will pat one or two eye shadow, and if i have more time i will use eyeliner. if i don't have that much time, i will just use eyeliner or one eyeshadow on my eyelid. then swipe mascara. last, i will put on my lipstick and then i'm good to go.

on special occasion, i will do more on my eye or on my lips. usually i will use bold color for lipstick in gradation technique (my husband doesn't like me using bold lipstick), or just make cat eye. and then contour.

okay.. if i have time i will take picture of my step by step routine.. i will update here. i believe it won't take more than 10 minutes.
