Every girl is different and so is every makeup routine! My routine is fit for me and my every day lifestyle. So, what products do I use? Here, are in my opinion, some of the best products you can put on your face!

I do not use a primer because once the facial products I use to wash my face set in, it works as a pretty decent primer. So, first things first! - Concealer. I use the Clinique Line Smoothing Concealer. Although, this concealer gets the job done, I think there could be better ones out there. For example, I've heard the Tarte Shape Tape Concealer does wonders, so I will probably give that a try next time. Once I've picked out my concealer, I use the wand to dab the spots on my skin where I feel I need it. Usually, I always go over and under my eyes and then wherever else there is redness on my face.

Next, I use bareMinerals Original Foundation powder. I apply this all over my face using the bareMinerals Beautiful Finish brush. After my powder sets, I apply blush on my cheek bones. I use the bareMinerals Ready Blush and apply it with a Mary Kay brush. Although, I use the Mary Kay brush, I'm not a huge fan of it because it's slightly rough on my face, but it does the trick. I usually blend it out my blush more with my bareMinerals Beautiful Finish brush when I am finished.

After blush, I go up to my brows. I fill my brows in with the Anastasia Brow Wiz. This stuff is AH-MAZING! After filling my brows, I set them using the Anastasia Clear Brow Gel. This also works pretty well as long as you don't go swimming, or completely submerge your head under water. It holds up through sweat great though.

Moving on to the eyes, I next use the Tweezerman eyelash curler. This is just a generic one I picked up at Target. It seems to work pretty well though. After I have curled my eyelashes, I use the Clinique Pretty Easy Liquid Eyelining pen. Once my lashes are curled, I move on to Mascara. I have used a lot, and I mean a lot of different types of mascaras, and this has by far surpassed them all. The best, but not cheapest, mascara to buy is Benefit's They're Real Mascara. I found these give me the fullest and longest lashes possible.

Finally, last but not least, lipstick! I've tried numerous lipsticks, but I always end up going back to MAC. I prefer the CremeSheen MAC lipsticks. For everyday wear, I like to use the shade CRÈME CUP. Generally, I can get nearly everything listed at Ulta with the exclusion of the MAC lipstick which I usually get at MACY's at the mall.
