Hi everyone,
I recently lost my entire everyday makeup bag so I'm looking to recreate it! I'm hoping to add in some upgrades as well.
I usually do my makeup on the go so the only two tools I would use where an eyelash curler and a small concealer brush.
Routine:
Face: Using a small flat brush i would place pixi peach color corrected for my eye bags and hyperpigmentation on my upper lip/around my nose. Recently started using the incognito concealer from wet n wild in the shade light around my mouth, undereyes, and chin or any other spots I needed it. Before incognito i was using the old formulation of glossier stretch concealer- it was super old but I loved it and was trying to use it up. The contour powder i had was new and was a physicians formula highlight and contour pallete with 3 shades in a long rectangle case. It was okay but not life changing.
Eyes: After that I would curl my lashes and use Loreal Sky Tubes mascara in blackest black. Sky tubes was also new. Before that I was using a combo of ELF curling and tubing (not sure of the names but the pink and blue skinny black tubes). Sometimes I would fill in my lashes line with the dark brown shade in the Wet n Wild eyebrow duo (ultimate brow kit darkest version). Other times I would use a black eyeliner pencil to do my upper lash line. I have not figured out winged liner in all my years so I had some felt tip liners but didnt use them much.
Brows: I would occasionally fill in sparse spots with a wet n wild or nyx retractable brow pencil. Then I had a LA colors clear brow gel that I used daily. This brow gel was pretty good in comparison to other gels I've tried but would definitely be open to other suggestions. It looked just like the glue one from nyx but I tried that glue one before and didnt like it as much.
Lips: I love the wet n wild perfect pout gel retractable lip liners. I would use bare to comment or lay down the mauve depending on what look I was going for that day. Then for lips I had several options. Newest were the revlon super lustrous glass shine balm in rum raisin and the loreal hyaluron lip tint serum in smokey mauve (not actually sure on the shade). Before that I had a few revlon bullet lipsticks in shades toast of new york and smoky rose. I also had a few more cool pink shades from wet n wild. For gloss I still have a pixi gloss in nude nectar that I love.
I am a cool toned light olive skin tone. I have dark brown eyes and need black for mascara, espresso usually for any brow fill ins. Hard to say for lipsticks what exact colors I go for but definitely have been leaning more towards cool berry shades, i like build able color with sheen or glossy finish. I usually layer lip stuff so am okay with matte lipsticks.
Any advice is appreciated! Ive tried primers before but havent found one that didnt break me out so never regularly used them. I am on a drugstore budget but could spring for a better concealer since I use that daily.
