My everyday makeup routine
My everyday makeup routine...
Today is the day we do a get ready together! It has been some time in the making haha but better late than never right?! Plus I have some super fun products I am so excited to share with all of you that I have been loving for some time now! Before I get to far into this I want to say that I used to use all walmart makeup for a long time. And it worked! But the past two years I have been trying to incorporate "cleaner" products into my skincare routine, since the skin is our largest organ and everything gets absorbed through it. I found DIME beauty for my skincare (cleanser/toner/serums and lotions) which you know if you've been following along with I love, because I noticed a difference after 1 time of using it! (code ALLISON takes 20% off anything HERE) And ever since then I've been on a journey to find clean makeup. A'dele actually reached out to me and told me their story. They are a God fearing, homeschooling family who started this company once they realized what is allowed into makeup and sold in stores. I fell in love with their hearts first, which made me try their product, and then used it for 3 months to make sure I loved it before sharing it with you! So below you'll find mostly A'dele makeup, with a couple drug store things (baby steps) and of course my favorite Dime Mascara:) And before I forget A'dele gave me code PRVBS31 for 25% off sitewide and free shipping for the next 3 days!! yay!
First up, the base
I always start my makeup process with the base products (after my Dime skincare of course!) I start off with
Cream foundation and loose powder. Then I add either a glimmer bronzer for a sun kissed glow or use the creamy blush for a fancier night out look! Clearly they are very loved products as I use them on the regular.
One of my favorites products of theirs is the Cream Blush! It Is so pretty on. It has more of a soft smooth consistency which I personally really like because it goes on more naturally and like I just said smooth!
Next up. Eyes
I have always been that girl that loves more of a dramatic eye makeup look! Eye shadow, Eyeliner, Mascara all of it! And guess what, A'del has many many different eye shadow colors to pick from which I was all about! The shimmer is so pretty and I love all the earthy colors they offer.
I usually use 4 colors for my eyes. I start with taking frosting and apply it on the whole lid and up to the brow line. Then I use the linen and cover the whole lid of the eye. The frosting is perfect for highlighting and giving a little shimmer and the linen brings in some warmth. Next I take the brown sugar with brush and put it in the crease of my eye and blend in. And lastly I use the stardust in the corner of my eye and blend in. Brown sugar and stardust are darker, so I always start with a little and add more if needed. For a nighttime look or date night out look I'll add extra stardust for a smokier eye:)
Then to finish off the eye I still use my covergirl eyeliner that I love. (baby steps:) I love the self sharpening twist to always get a smooth line and it glides on so nicely. I also use Kabrow for my eyebrows to fill them in and make them look thicker and then I finish it off with the Dime mascara. It's seriously the best. It lengthens your lashes, is clean, and doesn't smudge!
New Paragraph
And I want to end with this, because A'dele for sure picked the perfect verse to model their company after. Beauty is so much more than makeup and flawless skin. Beauty truly comes from within. I used to never leave my house without make up on and done up. I was nervous for people to see the true me. Now it's a rarity if you see me on IG with a face on:) I love the freedom it brings to be able to go filter free/makeup free if I want, and also to be able to take time to glammed up and feel a little extra when I want to as well:) So cheers to however you do it, and God never gets it wrong!!
3 "Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— 4 but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious."
1 Peter 3:3-4
