for your daily routine?

I wear

Revlon Colorstay Foundation

MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural powder

Nars Laguna Bronzer to Contour/Nars Orgasm Blush 

MAC Cork to fill in eyebrows

MAC Woodwinked shadow over lid and bottom, Honey Lust on inner corners

Nars Albatross to Highlight

thin line of MAC Fluidline liner on top, technakohl on bottom rim

Loreal Voluminous Mascara/or LashBlast Mascara

Usually nothing on the lips except vaseline, but for special occasions MAC High Tea Lipstick with a gloss

 
For just regular daytime,

Almay Smart Shade foundation or Skin79 BB Cream

Rimmel Bronzer

Lashblast Mascara

EOS lip balm or CO Bigelow gloss

 
MAC select cover-up concealer

Smashbox Halo Powder

Benefit Dandelion Blush

MAC lipliner in Redd

MAC red lipstick (Ruby Woo, Glam (discontinued), or MAC Red are the ones in my daily makeup bag)

or

if no lipstick that day Jouer Gloss or MAC Dazzleglass in a nudeish color (it's in my desk at work, I don't remember the name)

Diorshow Blackout mascara

MAC Liquid Last liner- black, Shiseido Accentuating Gel liner, or MAC liner in Black Russian

MAC shadow in Retrospeck, MAC pigment in Lily White to highlight, and another shadow or pigment that day that varies.

 
Something I just started doing as my quick face before running out the door

MAC Mystery eyeshadow

Maybelline Exact Eyebrights Black pencil liner

MAC Zoom Fast Black Lash

Rimmel Moisture Renew Red Action

Very simple face but I need to remember to throw on the primer before. I lose the eyeshadow about halfway through the day.

 
Right now i do

Chanel Perfection Lumiere,

MAC selectmoisture cover concealer,

tarte park avenue proncess bronzer

anastasia brow gel.

For lips I do whatever I have but its usally MAC Ravishing.

 
On face:

  • Benefit POREfessional - makes my face super smooth and prolongs the wear of my make-up
  • Tarte's Smooth Operator in Agent 04 - natural, lightweight, not cakey, matches my skin perfectly, and stays on all day
  • Tarte's Cheek Stain in Tipsy - natural, easy to blend, smells yummy, perfect color, and foolproof

On eyes:

  • Laura Geller eyeshadow in Sugar Spun - nice, mint green color with some shimmer on my crease; wear is only about 4 hours though even when I wear the occasional eyelid primer
  • Tarte Lights, Cameras, Lashes - great volume that lasts all day

On lips:

  • Lipstick Queen in Medieval - more of a tinted lip balm than a lipstick, perfect lipstain; wear is about a 6.5 out of 10


 
For the moment, this is the look I find myself turning to everyday. 

Face:

Smashbox Photo Finish Primer

Benefit Some Kind-a Gorgeous in Lite

Benefit Boi-ing concealer

Benefit Hervana Blush

NARS Copacabana illuminator

Eyes:

MAC Paint Pot in Painterly

Clinique eyeshadow in Apricot Spice

Lips:

Jouer Lip Enhancer

 
My to-go makeup look is...

Maybelline Fit Me foundation in 225

UD Primer Potion

Almay Pure Blends eyeshadow in 220 Apricot

Almay One Coat Dial Up mascara

Maybelline Super Stay 24 Hour concealer

Random lip stuff

 
My go-to look (aka I roll out of bed 5 minutes before I need to leave for class so I wear)

Face: 

Benefit Boi-ing Concealer

Chanel VitaLumiere Aqua 

MAC Refined Golden Bronzer

Benefit Boxed Blush in Dandelion

Benefit High Beam

Eyes:

Stila Luster & Poetic Eyeshadows (out of the Backstage Show Palette)

Benefit BadGal Eyeliner

UD Big Fatty Mascara

ELF Cream Eyeliner

Lips:

Burts Bees Pomegranate Lip Balm (I'm obsessed)

 
Base/Sunblock: Shisedo Ultimate Sun Protection Cream SPF 55 PA+++

Powder: Coty translucent loose powder

A primer for my t-zone, usually something by Too Faced or Benefit

Under eyes: Ooh La Lift

On eyes: lots of dark shadow. Elizabeth Arden's Color Intrigue quad in Sueded Browns is getting a lot of use, but I also like UD's Darkhorse

Sometimes mascara: Estee Lauder's Sumptuous Bold Volume Lifting mascara is my favorite

Blush: if I bother, is Posietint or Benetint, or Estee Lauder's 5-in-1 Shimmer powder (pink)

Lips: at the moment, I'm using Sephora's squeeze tube glosses in some peachy/pinky colors. Sometimes mixed with GWP lipstick

I sometimes use High Beam highlighter,  I like to mix it with my sunblock, in addition to using it as a highlighter

I have a natural look, except for the eyes, which are usually panda-esque. 

I haven't needed foundation since I discovered primers. I mix and match the primers to cover what I want to cover. My skin has improved with age, so I don't have many things to hide.

Benefit's Girl-Meets-Pearl as a base

I have little to no variety for my everyday makeup. LOL. Saaaad.

 
I don't wear any makeup unless I'm going out somewhere nice. My skin feels better without it. Besides, I spend most of my days sitting in the office, at the gym, or training martial arts....neither of which require makeup :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
Face:

Benifit's Some Kind-a Gorgeous in medium

Benifit's Erase Paste (I LOVE this!)

High Beam highlighter or girl meets pearl...depending how much glow I want.

Revlon's Bronzer in golden

Tarte's cheek stain or Benefit's posie tint

Eyes:

Really depends on my mood, but I'm getting a lot of use outta my True Blood palate atm, if not then mainly browns or beiges and creamy whites for a pinup girl look.

revlon color stay liquid liner in black and some random kohl pencil I got at the makeup counter at Walgreens, it really is a nice pencil, I gotta figure out what brand it was. I *think* it cost a dollar o_O

LashBlast Fusion in very black

Lips:

Revlon Matte in In the Red

revlon color stay lip liner in wine

OR

if I go dark on the eyes a sheer shimmery gloss, I alternate several different brands.

I try to never leave the house without at least concealer under my eyes, mascara, blush, and a gloss of some type. I need this just to not look like a zombie lol. I have 4 little kids and get up with my husband at 4:30 am to make coffee and his lunch!

 
On a daily basis I'm very minimal when I'm rushing:

Smashbox photo finish primer or Too Faced Primed and poreless

Estee lauder double wear foundation all over face

Estee lauder maximum coverage only on blemishes lightly

Benefit paste concealer under eyes only

Stila java eyeshadow for brows

Bobbi Brown Pink coral blush

Mac msf in refined to highlight

Nars laguna for bronzer on sunny days or Benefit hoola bronzer for my very gloomy pale days so I'm not obviously faking it

Maybelline falsies mascara waterproof

lipbalm only

If I hit the snooze button less in the morning the only thing I do different is eyeshadow:

UDPP in Eden

Stila in Oasis on lid

NYX e/s in highlight for brow bone

mark e/s in java to line my eyes lightly

NYX megashine in Beige (which ironically is pink, not beige)

I just noticed I use two products called "Java" lol.

 
I don't have a go to look, but I keep thinking I need one.
I didn't have one either but I've gotten real lazy about makeup & kept using the same thing over & over daily. Only on the weekends do I change it up.
