My "Every Day" Makeup

"Every day" is a definitely a stretch because I don't wear makeup MOST days. I'm a college student and the majority of the time I want to wear leggings and a t-shirt. A more appropriate title would be "This-is-what-I-wear-when-I-want-to-look-nice-in-a-casual-setting" but that's not exactly catchy. It's easy, it looks nice, and it doesn't take much time. There are times when I love to sit in front of my window, do my makeup, and take time to relax. There are other times when I need to run out the door 5 minutes ago. This is for those times!

Eyes 

The Naked Basics Palette

-Faint blended in the outer corner

-Naked 2 on the lid

-Foxy (or WOS depending on what I feel like that day) under the brow

-Venus in the inner corner

-Crave used as eyeliner with a liner brush 

TIP: Make sure the black is blended out! I've had it end up where I don't want it too many times.

Face

NYX Incredible Waterproof Concealer

Lips

Revlon ColorBurst Balm Stain in 001 Honey

(I rarely wear anything on my lips if ever, but this is really nice and it's low maintenance.)

Disclaimer: I never really wear foundation or anything on my lips. I never really found the need for foundation and I tend to get annoyed when I wear anything on my lips (besides what I mentioned or red on special occasions). I try to eat, it ends up every where, and it becomes a mess! 

I use makeup more as an art medium than something to cover my flaws. It's something that's extremely relaxing for me and I really enjoy creating new looks. I don't feel like anyone should NEED to wear makeup. You should wear makeup for YOU, not anybody else.

(Time to get off my soap box)
