I'd love to hear everybody's makeup routine!! I love watching/hearing people's routines! Mine is as follows:
Wash my face with cetaphil
Moisturize with a Clinique lotion that I don't know the name of lol
Prime either with maybelline baby skin or Rimmel stay matte
Foundation: I switch between several, but holy grail is Rimmel 25 hour lasting finish applied with real techniques sponge
Concealer: either hard candy glamoflauge or nyx hd blended in with rt sponge
Setting powder: Coty airspun or nyc translucent loose powder applied with damp sponge under my eyes, and dusted around face with elf complexion brush.
Bronzer: makeup revolution baked vivid bronzer in golden days applied with a separate elf complexion brush
Contour: I use the lightest matte shade in the elf bronzer palette
Blush and highlight: I've been using the makeup revolution blush goddess. My fav blush is the peachy one, my fav highlight is the golden one.
Eyes: I normally keep it pretty simple. Light champagne shade on lid and inner corner, matte brown in crease. I usually use my contour and highlight for this.
Brows: elf brow pencil in taupe or elf brow duo in light.
Mascara: cover girl in the orange tube
Liner: white liner from wet n wild in the waterline
Lipstick: wet n wild bare it all

Omg mine is wayyyyy complicated lol.
wash face with Cetaphil & clarisonic
toner (trying new ones now) day serum (currently Ole Hendrickson vitamin c) & moisturizer (garnier oil free gel)
After that all sits for a while while I drink coffee, prime with smashbox or benefit pore filler on cheeks, nose, chin, forehead, Laura Mercier hydrating primer on the rest. Urban Decay lid primer
Then IT cosmetics Bye bye redness on PRETTY much most of my face...then blended out with whatever foundation I'm feeling that day with a damp real techniques sponge.
next brows - I'm loving It Cosmetics Universal brow pencil and Milani fibers brow gel to set.
benefit concealor under brows because I'm messy lol
next eyeshadow. don't even make me choose a palette lol.
eyeliner tightline is usually It cosmetics black gel pencil, liquid liner on top lids I like Essence waterproof liner pens.
next I do concealor - lots of concealor. My favorite is L'Oreal visible lift applied with a wet n wild flat brush. Set it all with It Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores powder.
bronzer either Tarte Park Ave Princess or Physicians Formula (the one that smells like coconut). Blush by Nyx, Laura Geller, oh so many choices lol. Contour cheeks and jawline with Kat VON D Shade And Light Palette.
Now I use setting spray. I've been liking the sample Boscia mattifying spray I got at Sephora.
Now hair, exfoliate lips, brush teeth
smudge eye shadow on lower lash line & liner pencil of choice.
curl lashes, waterproof mascara (usually drugstore)
Favorite lashes wispies from Ardell or Kiss
next contour. Anastasia glow kits!
Last is lips. Colourpop, Ofra, Maybelline, Gerard...so many choices.
whew!! so long!! I'm complicated lol

I do my whole skincare routine at night :) But I'll just say what I do in the morning :) Note: This is when I do a full face. Sometimes I skip eye primer, eyeshadow, and sometimes eyeliner

Skincare: Wash face with Mary Kay Botanical Effects Cleanser and scrub with a Pro X face brush

Contacts: Clear Acuvue prescribed by my optometrist

Primer: NYX First Base Primer Spray

Concealer: Covergirl in shade 705 (looks like a lipstick tube), apply with E.L.F Flawless Concealer Brush

Foundation: Almay BlemisHeal in Ivory (100), apply with fingers (I'm looking for a foundation brush currently)

Concealer: Same as before only on areas that need a bit more coverage

Eyeshadow Primer: Urban Decay Primer Potion in original formula, applied with fingers

Eyeshadow: Naked Palette, applied with the dual ended brush it comes with, E.L.F flat eyeshadow brush, and E.L.F Blending Brush (I do varied eyeshadow looks depending on my mood and outfit)

Eyeliner: Maybelline Master Precise liquid eyeliner and Maybelline New York Define-A-Line in Soft Black (I use the Define-A-Line to touch up) ,applied as a wing and with tape to get it straight

Mascara: Maybelline Lash Sensational applied as always :)

Setting Powder: Coty Airspun powder applied with a deluxe powder brush

Blush: I can't remember the brand but I apply it with a blush brush I got from my grandmother (I also don't know the brand of the brush)

Thank you for reading my makeup routine :)

Mine is absolutely different every day but I'll use today's routine as an example to keep it simple lol.
Washed my face with First aid beauty cleanser
Followed with First aid beauty ultra repair serum the First aid beauty ultra repair cream on face and Roc multi correxion eye cream
Prepped skin with Makeup forever step 1 smoothing on face and Makeup forever step 1 hydrating around eye area
Applied Dior nude air with Elf blending brush then went in with a damp real techniques sponge to soak up any excess
Applied Nars radiant concealer under eyes and blended out using dampened beauty blender blotting sponge (which works awesome for this! I got it in my Sephora play and I prefer Clean and clear papers so I repurposed it:)
Applied Tarte amazonian clay finishing powder using It cosmetics for Ulta powder brush
Applied Physicians formula butter bronzer with real techniques powder brush
Applied Too faced love flush in justify my love with real techniques blush brush
Highlighted all the usual areas with Becca pearl using luxie 522 tapered highlight brush except brow bone and inner corner I used City colors highlighter (the middle one in the trio) using Crown brush C476 crease/shadow brush
Deepened my crease with Too faced chocolate soleil in med/deep with It for Ulta shadow brush
Used Nyx wonder pencil in my lower water line
Then essence make me brow in shade 02 and highlighted brows (thanks to benefit for making me think this is necessary with their new products lol) with milani easy brow in shade 04
Applied one very thin coat of Clinique high impact mascara to top lashes only
Sprayed face with one spritz of Smashbox primer water and 2 spritzes of Wet n Wild setting spray (bc I'm convinced the first one adds moisture and the second sets my face)
I feel like that's so excessive after typing it all:( Now I know why people complain I take too long to get ready I suppose!
