This post is in reply to anon and because my comment box sucks plus I refuse to figure out how to use blogger comment section, I have to resort to coming up with a post to explain. (My bad) Moreover I'd prefer if I can give a clear explanation. Also, I've decided to include the products that I use so that should anyone be interested, you can just click on the hyperlink. So here this goes.
1. I put on a primer and here I use
Mac Prep and Prime SPF 50 (I don't recomment this product) to help to make my makeup last longer throughout the day as I rarely do touch up. Oh prior to that, I apply Clinique's Moisturizer too since my skin tends to be rather dry when I spend a lot of time in air-conditioned room.
2. The next step would be to apply foundation. For the past year, I've been using
MUFE's HD Foundation which I highly rave. It's lightweight and most importantly, it doesn't cause breakout! Not any person who I know of so far.
3. This is followed by concealer. I switch up for concealer but for the past year, I've been using the
Amazing Cosmetics' Amazing concealer which provides great coverage. Just a pea sized of it will do and a little goes a long way.
4. Next, set your face makeup and I prefer pressed powder over loose powder because I find the latter to be a tad too messy for my liking. & I've been liking
Mac's careblend pressed powder.
5. So this is when it varies for different occasion. Basically my life revolves around 3 occasions. If I'm heading to school, I'll move on to curling my eyelash with
Shu Uemura's eyelash curler. I'll skip eyeliner and apply mascara after curling my lashes. Mascara used varies as well. Then, apply creme blush (choice of blush is based on mood) and lastly, lip balm and viola! I'm ready to go to school. This will usually only take me 15mins.
(OK hope that this is not confusing you as of now.)
7. As for heading to work, I'll have to apply eyeshadows so I'll use
UD's primer to prime my eyes and apply eye shadows. I'll apply eyeliner and the process is similar from hereon. That is, mascara -> powder blush -> lip liner -> lipstick. & that's all for work preparation. Preparation time takes around 40mins to an hour because I spent a ton of time working on eye shadows and blending them out.
8. Lastly, it'd be heading out with friends. So if I'm heading out with friends, from where I stopped, I'll proceed with applying eyeliner. From then onwards, the steps are exactly the same as heading to school just that I may apply lipstick instead of lipbalm. & I'm ready to head out the door! This will usually take me around 20mins.
Hope this answers your question! :)
