Full Face Makeup Routine

Shop the Products Used to Create This Makeup Look:
Today I am sharing my current full-face makeup routine. It changes by a product or two here and there but this is what I have been loving lately. I'm linking every single product with colors/shades used to create this exact look! No filters or editing of any kind on these photos! 

Many of these products are available at Sephora. Their spring savings event is going on now through April 24th. As of today VIBs and Insiders can shop and get a discount! You can also get 30% off Sephora brand products. Use code SAVENOW at checkout! 

This is my go-to foundation. It's buildable so you can get a very natural look or create more coverage depending on how much you use! I use two shades as I saw a video of the founder, Gucci Westman, and she recommended using two shades for a more natural look. I use the darker shade in the area where I would contour and the lighter shade in the area I would highlight. I tried the Armani foundation recently which everyone raves about. While I like it and will still use it occasionally, I still prefer this! They are pricey but this is something I buy over and over again and I try to wait for this sale so I can get a good discount! 

Cle De Peau Concealer in Beige (not at Sephora)
I switch around with concealers a lot but I always come back to this. It's so natural and I think it works best on dark circles. I think a liquid concealer works better for blemishes, though. 

This is my 'winter' contour stick as it has a cooler tone to it. I will switch to something like the Merit bronzing stick as I become tanner. I love the way it blends and works so well with the WA foundation that I use. I am still using the first stick that I ever purchased. A little goes a long way, I don't see me running out of this anytime soon so while it is not cheap, I do think this is one of those things where you get a lot of uses. 

- The brush I used to apply foundation and contour stick is Skinbae. Use code SYDNEY for 20% off (makes it about $18)
This is such a good brush and the density is close to that of Artis brushes which are much more $$$. I have Artis brushes and have been preferring this brush for foundation and the contour stick. I find it easier to control and think it blends better than the Artis. I still prefer my smaller Artis brush for more control in smaller areas.

I think if you get one thing in this sale, it should be either the raw amber highlighter or the rose quartz highlighter (one below). I got these in early February and they have quickly become some of my favorite products. If you have used the Westman Atelier super-loaded tinted highlighters, these are comparable but more pigmented. I really love the gel-powder formula. I think it blends even better than the WA versions. Not to mention, you can basically get two of these for the price of one WA super-loaded highlighter.  I use this one as a bronzer. It warms up my complexion and melts into my skin. 

I use this one as blush. It's pigmented so a little goes a long way. Not only does it give me a rosy glow but it really brightens up my face. I find these to last all day which is a huge plus. For some reason, any kind of blush I use, it never seems to stay fully pigmented throughout the entire day. This really stays put. 

I got this a month or so ago to compare it to the Anastasia brow pencil and I have to say, they are basically the same thing. For the price savings, this is a good one! 

LOVE this stuff. It's a tinted brow gel and it holds my brows in place all day long. It's magic and I would not want to be without this product. I use this on its own without the brow pencil when I am doing a more 'everyday' makeup look. 

I love this creamy highlighter for the inner corners of my eyes, along my browbone, and down the bridge of my nose. It's subtle but beautifully warm and glowy. 

This is such a great setting powder and it is a 'clean' product. In many powders, they use dimethicone which is an ingredient that often causes my skin to break out so I try to avoid it. Usually, if the label says 'clean' it does not contain dimethicone. 
 
Love this product many years later. It is one I always go back to. It's hydrating and the berry color is beautiful. In the photo above, I think it is appearing a bit darker than it actually is in person. 

Such a good lash primer and always a repurchase! 

About a year ago I was with a girlfriend and complimented her on her eyelashes and she said she was wearing this. I ordered it on the spot and haven't looked back. It's the best mascara. It separates my lashes and makes them look long and full. 

This has a cult following for a reason. It really is better than all of the other eyelash curlers!
