make-up routine

I've gotten a few questions recently regarding what foundation/skin make-up I use, so I decided to give you a little step-by-step of my foundation routine! The products I'm sharing with you today have been my go-to foundation products for quite some time now, because I'm obsessed with them and don't even want to try anything else!

1. Japonesque primer: It wasn't until a year or two ago when I started using primer. I'd tried out several and couldn't really tell a difference. I love this one from Japonesque because I can tell a huge difference when I wear it. It makes my skin feel so much smoother and really helps my foundation stay on longer!
2. Laura Mercier concealer (not pictured): if you've been following me for a while, you know, if there was one make-up product I could not live without, it's concealer. I'm somewhat cursed with dark circles under my eyes (like, always), so this concealer for me is a must. The coverage is amazing and it stays on forever.
3. Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer: if there was one make-up that I'd say changed my life, it would be this one. I first tried this moisturizer out when I started working at Neiman's in 2013 because I'd heard such great things, and it's been my go-to foundation ever since. The coverage is surprisingly amazing, but it's still lightweight enough to just put on if you're going to the beach or pool (and it has SPF in it!). It lasts pretty much all day on me, and doesn't make your face shiny like a lot of moisturizers do.
4. Laura Mercier Matte Radiance Baked Bronzer: Bronzer is a must for me, and if I ever accidentally leave the house without it, I feel naked. I love this bronzer because I like my bronzer to actually show up, but not look too fake. This one looks natural, yet still gives you a really nice sunkissed look.
5. Bare Minerals blush balm: this blush is a more recent addition to my make-up routine. I put just a touch on the very apple of my cheek bones for a nice little pop of color (yet, still subtle).
6. Laura Mercier Shimmer Bloc: I finish all of this off with my favorite blush in the world. I sweep this shimmer bloc across my cheekbones, really highlighting the top of my cheeks. This shimmer bloc is the perfect color pink and has just enough shimmer to give you a glowing effect, without being too over the top.

I hope you get to try some of these products out and love them as much as I do! I'd also love to know what some of your must-have make-up products are :). xoxo
