Finding your go-to make-up products for your everyday look is essential. It will not only help you look your best, but will also help you get ready on time. Over time your comfort level with the product can also allow you to experiment more with contouring, shadow, and liner.
Finding products that make you look and feel your best takes time, but when you find products that fit your skin type and tone put them in your daily routine.
For example, I have my foundational products that I use daily and then the ones I cycle in and out. I always make sure to keep trying new products just in case something comes out I don’t want to miss.
Make-up is also completely a personal preference because it allows you to express yourself and your whole mood. It sounds silly, but just think about it. Do you accentuate your eye make-up when you go out at night? When you are feeling low key, do you just put on a tinted moisturizer vs. foundation? For work meetings do you like to keep it polished and professional with neutral tones?
These are all questions you should ask yourself when selecting your everyday make-up formula. What do you do the most, and that should help you decide what is most important to invest in.
Since good make-up is not cheap I have also included why I put them in my rotation. I also want you to keep in mind I am a Full Coverage type of girl. These types of products are important to me because of bad chicken pox scarring on my forehead, and are typically the products you will see me seek out the most.
