Spring is definitely my favourite time of year for makeup. There's always a ton of new beauty launches and most of the products tend to be very glowy and radiance-boosting which I love. I feel like my makeup routine never really changes but that's because I know what I like and usually stick to the same products for quite a few months. I'm super happy with my current routine and I wanted to share it as I know you all love a good glow just as much as I do!
Starting with the base, I've really been enjoying mixing a pump of the Becca Backlight Priming Filter in with my foundation as it gives a beautiful glowy finish without being greasy or emphasizing my pores. Nine times out of ten I will use the IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC Cream but I've also been loving the Charlotte Tilbury Light Wonder Foundation as it's super light and gives a gorgeous sheen to the skin. The L'Oreal True Match Concealer has been my go-to as it's super hydrating but offers a good medium-full coverage and I like to set it with the Bare Minerals Invisible Light Translucent Powder Duo. I've also rediscovered the Glossier Cloud Paint in Dusk which is the perfect everyday blush shade and I love adding a touch of TheBalm Mary-Lou Manizer to my cheekbones for an intense highlight.
I've been going slightly heavier with my eye makeup recently but it couldn't be simpler to achieve. I start by applying my MAC Eyeshadow in Saddle all over the lid, blending it right up to the brow bone so that it's really blown out and I also apply it to my lower lashline to add a bit of definition. The main element that's changed is I've started using a bit of brown eyeliner to line my waterline and also to tight-line. MAC Teddy is my fave for this as it has flecks of gold which looks really pretty when it catches the light. For brows, I've been loving the Eylure X Fleur De Force Brow Definer in Medium because I can add shape and the illusion of hairs without it looking fake. It's also a great colour match and isn't super warm like most brow pencils! Then I curl my lashes and apply a couple coats of the L'Oreal Miss Baby Roll Mascara for super long, voluminous lashes.
You all know I'm pretty lazy when it comes to lips but I have been rotating quite a few lippies, all different shades and finishes. The Glossier Generation G in Cake is the perfect everyday peachy nude or I'll sometimes opt for my Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick in Pillow Talk if I want a bit more pigment and staying power. I'm also loving the Dior Lip Glow in 001 for a pink glossy finish.
