My 5-minute makeup routine -- ready for the carline!
I absolutely love makeup. All of it. But with age and maturity, I’ve dwindled my list based on my skin needs and speed! Let’s be honest, #momlife ain’t got time for those long morning routines. I am prepping lunches, chasing a puppy, showering and wrestling French braids. Don’t be jealous!
Today, I am sharing a quick post on my ride or die products that I use every.single.day. I’ve given away about 80% of my gifted items to friends, families and coworkers and stripped my cabinets anything “extra.” 2020 is about products that matter, work towards a cause and most of all, multitask. And the application…girl, I got you!
Take a read below —
Younique Hydrating Face Primer: A little dollop will do you good. It’s just enough to prep your canvas for true lasting power.
Younique Stick Foundation: First off, buy this Kabuki brush. Second, buy this stick! It’s so tremendous. I was craving something full coverage and I just love the speed at which I can apply this without being a professional makeup artist. I wear Lace. I also bought the next color up, Tulle, to serve as my concealer.
Younique Pressed Powder: I finish off my foundation and seal it with this powder in the same foundation stick shade, Lace. It’s the perfect mattifier for a full day of work or play.
Younique Pressed Blusher: I wear Sisterly and it’s universally flattering on every skin shade. Compare it to the infamous Nars everyone knows and loves.
Younique Precision Eyeliner: I wear Prim which is a chocolate brown and looks great on everyone. Nuff said.
Younique Shadow Palette: This is hands down, the best blending brush I’ve ever used. Next up - this palette. I suddenly know how to apply eyeshadow! This palette makes it so easy. It’s hyper pigmented as well so I never see creases or oiliness. Less is more so that means this is a worthy investment because it will last you forever!
Younique Epic Mascara: Similar but much much better to Urban Decay Lash Perversion. My lashes are so good that I continuously have to wipe mascara from my brow line throughout the day which is a good problem to have!
Younique Precision Lip Liner: Pouty is the most delicious neutral liner and it stays for days! I am so scared to run out.
Younique Liquid Lipstick + Opulence Lipstick: Snarky is my favorite matte, liquid lip. It’s so damn good. Matte everything for life! When I am not feeling the gloss, I always reach for Upper Class in the Opulence Lipstick. I am incredulous over the staying power. One application and done.
This is all you need, ladies. Sure I plan to splurge on some additional colors and…SKINCARE but I promise you'll be thanking me. Questions? Hit me in the comments!
Happy Friday!
Do blondes really have more fun?
Maintaining this ashe-y blonde hue is an absolutely commitment. If you’re going to pursue this shade of blonde, you have to know what you’re signing up for. It’s been several years and lotsa dollars for me but I absolutely love it.
