Hello Everyone! I know that I have been away for quite some time now but I just needed another little break from blogging so that my content stays exciting! I have decided to change some things up like the font that my blog posts have and also the actual blog post title is going to have a slight change. Anyways... Today I want to talk about some simple makeup products that I have to have on a daily basis to make myself feel comfortable leaving the house. Keep in mind, I am an aspiring makeup artist and a makeup enthusiast so if you don't even want to wear makeup than you don't have too!
To start off I think it is important to have a base, so I make sure that I apply my foundation as I normally would (liquid foundation and set it with powder) and then I want to make sure that I look awake so apply an under eye concealer to awaken the face.

Another thing that makes me feel beautiful is blush! Blush is one of those things that can completely transform your makeup look and add dimension to the face. I think the best option is to go with a light pinky blush (that is what I would use) or any colour that would look natural on your skin tone.

Now, lets bring some attention to the eyes. The eyes can be tricky because if you are just out running errands, you probably don't want or need an entire eye look (okay, not gonna lie, I do that sometimes) but most of us feel more comfortable with just a little somethin' on the eyes to make them pop and add dimension. I recommend using a brown eye liner and apply it however you normally would; brown is a great option instead of black because it is not as intense. After you have applied your brown eyeliner, my next step would be to apply mascara! I find that mascara is just another great makeup product that awakens the face even more.

Okay so now we have pretty much all of our essentials but I know that I love having a great lip! Lip products are probably my favourite makeup item to buy and wear and I always leave the house with some form of lip product on. I think that it is important to own a nude coloured gloss that you can apply on its own to add extra voloume to your lips or just as a topper to lipsticks but when you want to go that extra mile you should pick a lipstick shade that makes you feel beautiful. I personally like bold lip colours the most so I tend to go for crazier shades.

( These are just some of my favourite shades of lipsticks) |
The last thing that we need to put on before we leave the house is a BIG SMILE! Always remember that makeup is something that we should do as a hobby and to make ourselves feel fancy, but we do not NEED it! It is just makeup and everyone is beautiful no matter if they wear a full face of makeup or wear none at all.
I also think brows are important so if you want to see how I do my brows, read through this post!
Love yourself!
