I've never been very good at makeup, but since discovering Glossier back in 2016, I've been able to secure a look that is easy enough to execute that I feel confident putting it on any day of the week. Feeling confident in my makeup routine is really important because it means I think less about how I look throughout the day and I'm not afraid to actually wear makeup (which has been the case in the past when I felt like I was 'too bad' at makeup... I just didn't try at all.)
Here's a step-by-step look at my current everyday makeup look, for the girl (or boi) who sucks at makeup.
Step 1. Moisturize!
Glossier's Priming Moisturizer Rich has been my dry skin's savor. I apply it twice a day in the winter and it leaves my skin feeling hydrated, smooth, and glowy. & Balm Dotcom is the only lip balm I've tried that actually keeps my lips moisturized. I swear by it.
Step 2. Stretch Concealer in Light.
A little under my eyes, the acne scars on my chin, and any problem spots.
Step 3. Dream Pure BB Cream in 100 Light.
Very similar to Glossier's Skin tint, just with a little more coverage and less shine.
Step 4. Set with Glossier Wowder and Mario Badescu rosewater spray.
Step 5. Brows.
Step 6. NEW! Lidstar by Glossier.
LIDSTAR by Glossier
I never used to wear eye shadow because I suck at blending it. BUT! Glossier saved me by releasing the easiest eye makeup ever. The shade 'moon' is perfect for an everyday, ethereal look.
Step 7. The finishing touches.
The finished look.
This simple look makes me feel natural yet 'put together' and the shimmer of lidstar and haloscope give me a little delicate/girly vibe. Let me know if you try this look, I'd love to see it!
take care,
