MY MAKEUP ROUTINE

Hi Y’all! This post is all about my current makeup routine and what I use to make sure my makeup looks the best. From primers to lipsticks and everything in between. Each item will have a link directly to the product so you can check it out for yourself! Happy shopping!

Primer: Becca Cosmetics First Light Priming Filter. This primer has everything. Purple color to cancel out uneven skin color, highlight to make your skin glow, does not clog your pores, and it is weightless. A 1 fl oz. bottle retails for $39 and lasts me about eight months. http://www.beccacosmetics.com/product/22196/58635/face/primer/first-light-priming-filter-instant-complexion-refresh/purple-primer-best-primer#!/sku/93461

Liquid Foundation: NARS All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation in shade Mont Blanc. Can you say sensitive skin approved!? This foundation has prevented my skin from becoming irritated and it makes you feel like you are wearing nothing. Three pumps of this gives my whole face full coverage and it lasts all day long no matter if I am outside in the heat or inside all bundled up. It is oil, paraben, and alcohol free. A 1 fl oz. bottle retails for $49 and used everyday lasts me 5 months. https://www.narscosmetics.com/USA/all-day-luminous-weightless-foundation/999NAC0000017.html?dwvar_999NAC0000017_color=7845064398&cgid=foundation

Powder Foundation: Maybelline Fit Me Matte and and Poreless Powder in shade Translucent. This is the perfect powder for finishing if you are on a budget or needing a powder to set makeup everyday. It is lightweight and has no color to it so it will not affect your liquid foundation color. I usually wear this over my liquid foundation for a matte finish. It retails for $7.99 and lasts me about three-four months. https://www.maybelline.com/face-makeup/powder/fit-me-matte-poreless-powder

Setting Powder: Ciate London Extraordinary Translucent Setting Powder This setting powder is what I use if I am going out and not just running around. It is white, so wherever you put it, it will lighten your face in those areas. I use this under my eyes, on my nose, and on my jawline. This retails for $22 and lasts almost a year for me using it for certain occasions. https://us.ciatelondon.com/products/extraordinary-translucent-setting-powder

Concealer: Colourpop No Filter Matte Concealer in shade Fair 04. This is my favorite concealer. It does the job extremely well and it is very budget friendly. I use it under my eyes, on my nose, and my chin. It brightens everything up, while covering the dark circles and imperfections. A tube retails for $6.50 and lasts me about four months. https://colourpop.com/products/no-filter-concealer

Highlighter: Morphe Highlighter in Extra This highligher is currently my go to. It goes perfect with my fair skin tone and has just the right amount of highlight to where I can wear it anywhere and it isn’t too much. This retails for $14. https://www.morphe.com/products/highlighter-extra

Blush: Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-hour Blush in Dazzled This blush is the perfect rosy shade. It is not too dark or too light and is not too orange or too red. It is perfect for everyday use and can be layered on for a darker touch. It retails for $29 and used almost everyday lasts me a year. https://tartecosmetics.com/en_US/makeup/cheeks/blush/amazonian-clay-12-hour-blush/846733017720-UN.html?noredirect=true&gclsrc=aw.ds&&mrkgcl=1213&mrkgadid=3301589218&adpos=1o2&creative=377066903918&device=c&matchtype=&network=g&gclid=Cj0KCQjwgNXtBRC6ARIsAIPP7RvImc2-8YSmc1e00vyLaucB6h3Y_ELypTn1aovj1qIoZnjGmBvQ6UAaAk_sEALw_wcB

Eyeshadow: Too Faced Natural Love Palette and Morphe 25B Bronzed Mocha These are my two go to palettes that I own. I wear one of these every single day. The Natural Love palette is no longer available but the new Natural Lust palette is identical. It has perfect everyday neutrals that pair well with everything. These palettes are not crazy pigmented so they are perfect for the more natural look. Bronzed Mocha is highly pigmented with darker neutrals and lighter neutrals for a more dramatic look. Natural Lust retails for $59 and 25B Bronzed Mocha retails for $19. https://www.toofaced.com/product/23483/68452/eye-makeup/eyeshadow-palettes/natural-lust-eye-shadow-palette https://www.morphe.com/products/25b-bronzed-mocha-artistry-palette

Eyeliner: ELF Expert Liquid Eyeliner in Jet Black Okay I have tried over 15 eyeliners and this is the only one I will ever use. It is the only one that does not make my eyes swell and it lasts all day and does not run or smear. It retails for $3. https://www.elfcosmetics.com/expert-liquid-liner/200052.html?dwvar_200052_color=Jet%20Black&cgid=eyes-eyeliner#start=10&sz=24

Mascara: IT Cosmetics Superhero Mascara in Black This mascara has become my new favorite. I used to always use Mary Kay Lash Intensity and I still do for everyday, but Superhero is what I use for that extra pop. It has elastic in it so it gives you the best length out of any mascara. It does not transfer onto your face after wearing it for hours and it comes off easily with makeup remover or soap. A tube retails for $24 and I replace it every three months. https://www.itcosmetics.com/eyes/mascara/superhero–mascara/ITC_612.html

Liquid Lipstick: Kylie Cosmetics in shade One Wish This matte liquid lipstick is my go to neutral color that I wear almost everyday. It does not have a chemical smell and it does not dry out my lips or transfer onto cups. It goes prefect with any skin color! I have this liquid lipstick in other shades as well but this shade is my everyday shade. It retails for $17. https://www.kyliecosmetics.com/products/one-wish-matte-liquid-lipstick

Creme Lipstick: Kylie Cosmetics in shade Creme Brûlée This creme lipstick is my new fall shade. It is very similar to One Wish in color except it is a little darker. It does not taste like chemicals or dry my lips out. Retails for $17. https://www.kyliecosmetics.com/collections/lips/products/lipstick

Setting Spray: Coola Setting Spray with Sunscreen SPF 30 This setting spray is amazing for all seasons. It is super lightweight and has SPF in it to help protect your face from UV rays. I wear this over my makeup and if I go makeup free, I wear it to help protect against the sun since it is so much lighter than actual sunscreen. It does have a pretty strong sunscreen smell when you first apply it that goes away after a few minutes of use. A 1.6 fl oz. bottle retails for $36. https://www.ulta.com/makeup-setting-spray-organic-sunscreen-spf-30?productId=xlsImpprod12131017

I hope that this helps y’all find new products that you will love! As I find more products that become staples in my routine, I will make a new post with my new products. Stay tuned for skincare favorites! -Love Blayne

The Journey Begins

Hey Y’all! My name is Blayne Bell and I am so excited to start this journey. I am originally from a small town in Washington state where I grew up playing a ton of sports and eventually focused solely on horseback riding and showing on the world level. I have been doing it since I was seven years old and was fortunate to have much success with it which lead to me getting a NCAA D1 scholarship to ride horses in college. This is how I am now living on the other side of the country in Dover, De. I have one more semester left and will be graduating early with a degree in Agriculture.

I have always loved fashion, beauty, interior design and anything else that related to it. I got my love for fashion from my mom for sure! This blog has been in the works for me for at least a year but I never started it because I could not come up with a name that I liked. Once I finally did, I waited a couple months because I knew that I wanted to share all of my favorite things with you I just didn’t know the best way to share them with you. I started the instagram account two weeks ago and have been working on this since! I hope you all enjoy the journey with me and contact me with every suggestion or question you have!

– Always, Blayne
