My every-day, go-to makeup.

I think everyone has a look that they automatically go for when picking your makeup bag up in the morning. And it's all about telling yourself "No, I'm going to try something different. I might push past my comfort zone and go for that white liner, or blue lipstick." Don't get me wrong, I'm not too adventurous. A lot of the time I'll see all these stunning girls who can pull of a certain bold colour and I know straight away I'd never have the confidence to wear it outside.

We all know what suits us, what colours compliment our skin, eyes or lips. I have a habit of going for a super simple, easy look but with still having a full face of makeup.

So above is my favourite "day makeup".

Because I have blue eyes, I like to compliment them with using golds, browns and bronze palettes. Urban Decay Naked or Smoky is usually what I use, but I'll tend to go for some Makeup Geek single eyeshadows for more pigmentation if I'm feeling more flush.

On a regular basis I use Illamasqua skin base foundation, and contour with the NYX contour palette. For my concealer, I like to use Nars as it's amazing! But if I'm a little on the poor side, I'll always have Rimmel's Super Stay on hand. I currently use The Balm Mary Lou Highlighter, which is a golden colour but if my makeup is slightly lighter, I'll use Becca's Shimmering Skin Perfector. I cannot recommend this highlighter more.

Lips are always a nude/pink. My skin is quite fair, so I always feel too white when wearing a really light nude. So I opt for a nude with pink tones. I always reach for either Mac Lovelorn or Brave which is slightly darker, Nyx Liquid Suede in Tea and Cookies or Sleek Makeup's Birthday Suit. I just find that these colours compliment my skin tone the most and are super easy to apply.

On average, it takes me about half an hour to do my makeup. As someone who loves to wear a lot of product to work etc, I've actually cut my time down. I get too carried away with listening to music and taking my time. (Eyebrows aren't the quickest!)
