I do most of my makeup on the subway so that's why it's set lol

Smashbox Primers are good!

Yes agree with litra6, Smashbox primers are great! Also like Cinema Secrets but it's harder to find.

My makeup regimen is A LOT. I work at a makeup school so I always have to be "on" lol.

I wear:

Moisturizer from Embryolisse

Foundation - LOREAL Infalliable (I like heavier coverage, I find it to be the best!)

Graftobian concealer

Powder - Makeup Forever HD

Bronzer from The Balm "Bahama Mama"

Blush from The Balm "Frat Boy"

Mascara from MAC Zoomlash

Liner from Makeup For Ever Aqua Liner

then... shadow! Typically like using a cream (Cannot get enough of "Trophy" by MAC), then whatever colors I'm looking to have that day!

Same for lipstick and gloss -- I love hot pink and red lipsticks!

It changes day by day, but my staples are:

Urban Decay Zero pencil for bottom line

Various UD eyeshadows

Diorshow mascara

Loreal concealer

Stila tinted moisturizer

Everyday (school) routine (done in 15 mins or less):

• Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit
• Maybelline Mineral Power Natural Perfection Concealer
• Eyeshadow - Maybelline, Covergirl, The Color Workshop, LA Colors, Avon, Wet N Wild, Rimmel (depends on my outfit)
• Eyeliner (on certain days) - Avon, Wet N Wild
• Mascara - Maybelline, Covergirl, Mally, Revlon (depends on which day, like some days I need my waterproof mascaras)

Amazingly this seemingly short routine takes 15 minutes and uses up a huge portion of my 30 mins to get ready for school in the morning - I sacrifice breakfast time for makeup!

Ya I am a makeup minimalist because I believe you don't need a billion products to make yourself look good ^^

Special Occasions routine (done in 20-25 mins):

• Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit
• Covergirl powder
• Maybelline Mineral Power Natural Perfection Concealer
• Eyeshadows
• Maybelline Dream Mousse Blush
• Avon ColorTrend Eyeliner
• Mascara
• Lipgloss

Synchronized Swimming Meet routine (done in 15-25 mins)

• Meh, it's really the same as my school routine except everything's waterproof

everyday make up for work (takes an hour cause i do it on the train ride to work... i refuse to wake up at 5 just to do my make up.. it would probably take a bit less time but trains are shaky and i can only use one hand/other hand holds mirror)

- smashbox photo finish primer

- either dermablend smooth indulgence or estee lauder maximum cover (the older version) foundation

- hard candy nobody's perfect concealer palette (sometimes)

- mufe hd powder (BEST product i bought since i got my naked palette this past may)

- thebalm hot mama bronzer & either nars orgasm or thebalm hot mama (i use my nars blush for the mirror as it has a good size and i can hold it well, but i also have the "big mama" palette so i kind of play it by ear with those 2 blushes.. then again, they're almost identical"

- naked palette for me eyes, colors vary & the wet n wild vanity palette (lightest matte shade) to highlight (+ UDPP and/or NYX milk jumbo pencil)

- black or brown milani liquif'eye liner

- l'oreal voluminous lashes mascara

- wet n wild color icon pencil to fill in eyebrows (taupe) & nyx wax pencil to set them (works like a charm!!)

- nyx lip liner in natural

- neutral/not too flashy lips (currently i use either joe "nude" (matte), NYX soft matte lip creme "antwerp", NYX tinted lip spa "juicy" or revlon's lustrous gloss in "firecracker".. or a mix of some of those)

i believe that is it... i work in an office and have to look "polished"

when i go out, it's pretty much the same but i might use some other eyeshadow/maybe something with color (i swapper for the UD BOS II a few weeks ago and have been using that a lot on the weekends), and i also wear bright red or bright pink lipstick.

also, for work, i sometimes pack a different blush. i try to pack a new make up bag every weekend so i get to use all my products on a regular basis, but with some of my blushes i feel like they'd explode in my bag >.<

Mine seems very extensive:

Aloe Vera gel

Revlon Colourstay foundation in Ivory

A rosy lipstick as blush (helps create a flawless finish)

Setting powder (I'm actually in the market for a new one if anyone has any recommendations. )

If I blend away my blush (which does happen) I put on a bit of powder.

A nude lipstick

Neutral eyeshadow. 

Grey eyeliner on the waterline and slightly winged off. 

1. Clean & Clear Dual Action Moisturizer

2. OCC Primer

3. OCC Tinted Moisturizer

4. MAC Studio Fix Concealer

5. ELF HD Finishing Powder (temporary until I find something with lower silica content that works as well)

6. Too Faced Shadow Insurance

7. Inglot Eyeshadow '328' for lid

8. Inglot Eyeshadow '353'/MAC 'Phloof' for Highlight

9. MAC 'Bamboo' Eyeshadow for Crease

10. NYX 'Black' Eyeshadow for Eyebrows

11. NYX 'Clear' Mascara for Eyebrows

12. Revlon 'Blackest Black' Liquid Eyeliner

13. Clinique 'Black' High Impact Curling Mascara

14. OCC 'Glisten' Loose Powder for Blush

15. OCC Lip Tar (usually either 'Trick' or 'Vintage') on the Lips

Granted, in the winter I usually cut steps 2,3, and 5 out of sheer laziness. But that's the usual 'natural' look in that order, lol. 

I didn't know OCC came out with a tinted moisturizer. I'm so going to have to try that!

Recently:

Eucerin Spf 30 Day Lotion for Sensitive Skin (with Zinc and Iron Oxides)

Jojoba Oil to spot Moisturize any areas that are dry/flakey

Olay Regenerist Eye firming Serum

Missha M BB Cream in #21 (hate the color, love the finish)

Neutrogena Light Reflecting Concealer pen

Powder finish with Everyday Minerals in Luminizing Sunlight (sometimes)

Maybelline Lash Stiletto

Revlon Just Bitten Lipstain in Crave

Carmex Lip Balm

For my eyes, I usually use one of three colors:

Covergirl "Tapestry Taupe"

Mac "Grain"

or ELF mineral eyeshadow in Elegant (if I want something shimmery)

EL Doublewear makes a great eyeshadow base. That stuff does not budge on my eyelids!

woooohoo finally people who wear as much makeup as I do everyday! lol  I've been talking to girls who wear not one fleck of make-up on their face and it's been making me feel guilty..

my regimen-

Revlon Colorstay Foundation

Mac MSF- Natural Powder

Nars Laguna Bronzer to contour

Nars Orgasm Blush

Nars Albatross highlighter for brow bone and cheekbones and tear duct

MUFE Setting Powder

MAC Espresso for brows

MAC paintpot as primer on the eye

MAC Honey Lust E/S for the lid

MAC Cork E/S for the crease and bottom lash line

MAC Smolder Kohl to line the top eye, then Fluidline in Blacktrack to go over it

Loreal Voluminous Mascara

Sometimes a gloss.....like Buxom lip gloss or a MAC gloss or Revlon Super Lustrous 

Clinique All About Eyes Rich

Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion

Micabella Mineral Powder Foundation in Lady Godiva

Urban Decay Primer Potion in Eden

Lise Watier Havana Bronzer

NYX HD Grindng Blush in Menage a Trois

Micabella Mineral Eyeshadow in Daydream

Marcelle Waterproof Eye Pencil in Fairytale Pink

Lise Watier 24 HRS Glam Mascara in Noir

Blistex, Wet'n'Wild 901B and Quo Glass Gloss in Tiffany

....and usually brown winged eyeliner, using Lise Watier Metamorphix Liquid Transformer the dark brown in the Maybelline Natural Smokes quad I've had for ages, and a light frosty pink Revlon color to highlight, I think its the lightest color in the Blushed Wines quad. I use a mix of the light taupey color and the lightish brown in Maybelline's Designer Chocolates quad for my brows. Weird combo, but it works perfect for the color my hair is right now, as I discovered this when my usual pencil got lost. I use a little of my Lise Watier Metamorphix for this as well...

These are my go-to products lately, when I don't feel like going too crazy  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

3. brush teeth while moisturizer absorbs.

4. apply foundation with brush lancome tein idole ultra

Oh yeah! And the best part about the tinted moisturizer is that if you're afraid that you may in between shades, it's flexible enough to provide the right coverage at the right tone. In general I find 2-3 drops of this stuff does it's job on my face just like a foundation and kills any need for me to use concealers for the undereye area or around my nose. 

Well, today I used:

Smashbox Primer

Maybelline Dream Mousse Blush in Pink Satin

MAC Studio Fix NW20

I used a Pixi Palette for Eyeshadow and Blush (I did a sort of bronze-y eyeshadow and glowy pink cheeks)

I used UD Big Fattie Mascara..

That's pretty much what I do. I will switch up the eyeshadow and blush but everything else remains basically the same!
