Update: Everyday Makeup Favorites

Hello!

I can’t believe Aria is 7 weeks old already! Life adjusting to being a new mom has been so amazing! I will be honest and say that it is certainly hard to get the things around the house done as much as I used to. Not to mention work! I feel like I never get anything done hardly! But I really wouldn’t have it any other way. This little girl is my world and she truly makes my life better each and every day. Ok, OK! Enough “proud parenting” jeesh…

I wanted to update you guys with my latest daily makeup favorites.

These days I am lucky if I am totally ready for the day by 3pm in the afternoon tee-hee, but these makeup staples have been lifesavers in keeping me looking presentable! Also I received these makeup brushes a few weeks back and I have been using them everyday to test them out. For my foundation I have been using the largest brush or the “powder brush” because I like a large condensed brush to get an even cover on my skin.

Each brush is labeled for it’s use which I think is awesome because let’s be honest here, I am no makeup professional and I truly just use what I feel like using! I never know what brush is meant for what purpose. With this brush set I do! Love that! The handle on the brushes are a little thin for me. Maybe I am too rough when applying makeup and I use too much pressure but I am afraid the handle will break on me! Although this hasn’t happened yet, and so far I am learning to be more gentle as well. Overall the quality exceeds the cost  and I would recommend My Makeup Brushes to anyone needing a new set!

Daily Makeup Favorites

Dior Air Flash Spray Foundation

I have been using this for the past month, and I am hooked! I actually went into Sephora looking for the new Fenty foundation a month ago and it was of course all sold out. So, I ended up giving this a try instead and I am so happy I did! I usually spray directly onto my brush and just swipe it on. The coverage is literally perfect! I use it alone for an everyday look, and with concealer for more of a full coverage on date nights.

Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Finish Micro-Powder

Lately this has replaced my Laura Mercier Translucent Powder! Wouldn’t say it is better, I would just say it is smoother and great for a cleaner look. I have been really into the way it leaves my skin glow-y and smooth! I have almost used it up and will definitely be buying again.

Tom Ford Ultimate Bronzer

I have talked about this before and have been using it since fall. I LOVE this bronzer! Hands down the best bronzer I have ever tried. Worth the splurge 100%. I use it pretty much all over my face and down my neck, but it works great for a quick and natural everyday contour as well!

Dior Air Luminizer Powder

This is new from Dior and I just picked it up from Nordstrom a little over a week ago. I use it as a highlighter and really like the cool shimmer it leaves on my cheek bones. It is perfect for a pretty yet subtle glow.

Anastasia Brow Wiz Eyebrow Pencil

Because I am so blonde, even my eyebrows, I fill in my brows everyday. I do not like to even sit around the house without them filled in! I love this brow pencil because it is so easy to use, and I can fill in my brows in seconds!

YSL Rouge Volupte Shine Lipstick “Nude in Private”

I love a perfect nude lip! YSL has sold me on wearing lipstick again. I have mentioned before I was never a lipstick kind of girl until I tried this brand. Feels like butter going on and the colors in the entire line are perfect.

    Congrats on your new daughter! Those brushes sound great. I’ve been really curious about the oval style brushes so it’s nice to hear someone’s experience with them.

    I’ll have to try these products! I’ll be honest, I need a training course in those types of brushes. They are so intimidating to me!
