I'm a minimalist. Powder (sometimes TM), something colored in my lips, eyeliner, mascara and really subtle eyeshadow. Takes me all of 3 minutes to apply.
Right now my TM is neutrogena (impulse buy at target, don't love but don't hate enough to toss), just got korres powder, lips vary - I got the fresh polish in berry yesterday, can't wait to try. Eyeshadow varies, usually a taupe color from MAC and I'm looking for better mascara.
I am trying to become a little more polished, so this I'm kind of experimenting. Today I'm wearing tiny bit of LM radiance primer on my cheek bones YSL touche foundation concealer tarte blush anastasia eyeshadow in sunset and toffee elf eyeliner pen in black lash blast mascara (the orange tube) in black korres lip butter in raspberry

Some sort of primer or BB cream Foundation (I have 3 different ones - just got the YSL touche and am trying it for the first time today- so far loving it.) concealer powder- lancome dual finish blush- today i'm wearing NARS orgasm MAC skin finish as a highlighter eye primer eyeshadow- today 3 colors from Naked 2 eyeliner - today MAC black track gel liner mascara- my favorite is Loreal Voluminous lip gloss - i have an allergy to most lipsticks and gloss the one I know I don't react to is Lancome Juicy tubes
SPF whatever I have sometimes tinted primer-Murad or Joeur Benefit erase paste for eyes any red spots www.birchbox.com/shop/makeup/miracle-skin-transformer-treat-conceal eyeshadow usually UD liner liquid, whatever I have laying around mascara CG blush NARS Sometimes I use a loose powder from Stila, not so much in the winter
Every day: - a primer with a bit of bronzer in it (Stila) - Maybelline BB (ran out of my Too Faced) - Laura Geller blush or Benefit Bella Bamba are in rotation right now - Smashbox lip pencil and Lorac sheer gloss - Smashbox eye shadow trio - shades of shimmery brown and beige - UD 24/7 eyeliner in Bourbon (I think) - UD Lush Lash mascara - occasional touch up with MAC pressed powder
ETA: Ooh, almost forgot Maybelline undereye brightener. I never leave home without it.
I've been ramping it up thanks to the VIB sale. I've been in an eyeliner, mascara, tinted moisturizer, chapstick rut for months.
This week, I've been wearing:
- Fresh Soy Moisturizing Cream (SPF 20) - Kiehl's Ultra Facial Tinted Moisturizer (which looks to be discontinued--wtf) - Maybelline eye brightener if my under-eye area is looking funky - A suuuper light dusting of Pur 4-in-1 powder to set - Urban Decay eyeshadow primer - Some taupe-ish eyeshadow (Burberry Rosewood today) - Urban Decay 24/7 liner in Zero along my upper lashes & bottom waterline - Smudge UD Blackout (matte black) eyeshadow over the upper liner, and just under my bottom lashes using this brush--my favorite! - Pick a random blush - Apply mascara (currently using L'Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black)
Lips usually remain nude w/Lip Smackers or random balm. Sometimes apply a light tint, like a Burberry Lip Mist if I'm thinking about it.
Depending on how much I feel like playing around, I'll use bronzer and/or highlighter.
*These are all new as of about a month ago. I needed to step it up a bit.
On the weekends, depending on what I'm doing, I sometimes wear nothing except lip gloss. Other times I'll throw on some TM and mascara and lips. I only do the whole work-face routine if we're going out.
On an average workday I'll be wearing the following:
-Hourglass Mineral Primer -Naked Skin or YSL Touche foundation -Laura Mercier setting powder -blush (current faves are Tarte Blissful and Bobbi Brown Antigua) -eye primer -at least two colors of eyeshadow (OMG, I own too many eyeshadows--today I wore L'Oreal Bronzed Taupe, Rouge Bunny Rouge pigments in a medium brown, and Burberry Pale Barley) -eyeliner -mascara (currently something from Buxom) -lipstick
I normally lurk, but I thought this was a fun thread. On a regular work day I wear:
Clinique superbalanced foundation Stila cream blush in Lillium Clinique Lid Smoothie in Seventh Heather Clinique eye shadow due (pink chocolate - a pink shimmer and a soft brown) Loreal Mascara (any of them are fabulous) and if I'm feeling crazy I'll add brown eyeliner. I always wear the Mary Kay lip balm and I've really been liking their lip glosses. I alternate between a sheer pink and an awesome new red.
Also - I think I need a BB cream tutorial - or my skin isn't nice enough for it or something.
