When you have a go-to makeup look you will appear put to together no matter what time of the day or how completely disheveled you feel. Get ready to change your routine for the easier!

Do you really have extra time for a ton of makeup? Or would that extra 5-10 minutes of sleep do you well? Flawless skin doesn’t have to take a ton of time when you take care of your skin. 

My favorite products will provide the perfect “makeup uniform” for you. You’ll be ready to take on the world every single day with a look you can depend on.

If you’re ready for a skin regimen that will literally carry you through life, I’m sharing my easy go-to look! Flawless skin can leave you feeling natural and put together everyday. 

Personally I don’t enjoy the feel of makeup, and prefer a fresh faced appearance. If these products didn’t leave my skin feeling healthier, I wouldn’t use them. Enjoy!

Easy Steps for Flawless Skin

Step 1- Cleanse

Kiehls Dermatologist Solutions™ Centella Sensitive Facial Cleanser

I love this cleanser because it’s paraben, sulfate and phthalate free. Derived from centella asiatica, an ancient medicinal plant, known for its efficacy on sensitive skin.

This product is also formulated without alcohol, fragrance, soap, and surfactant. It really feels like this cleanser benefits my skin while I’m using it.KhueT said this: When I was in Italy, I used this all the time! My skin was glowing and hydrating. I used this with the Calendula Herbal Extract Alcohol Free Toner, the Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution Serum, and a very cheap drugstore moisturizer. My skin during my Italy stay was amazing. When I got back to the States, I couldn’t find this cleanser anywhere and I thought that Kiehl’s discontinued it or something. I’m happy that it’s back! Would buy it again after I finish using my current cleanser.

Next I like to apply a pea sized amount of organic cold pressed grapeseed oil to my skin prior to my makeup routine.

Perfect as a dry skin remedy, the oil also helps makeup go on smoother, and keeps my skin luscious and hydrated throughout the day. 

*Never ever sleep in your make-up. Let your skin heal from the day and get it’s own beauty rest.

Step 2 – Tend to Your Brows

As your lotion or oil sets in, now is the time to work on your eyes.

Eyebrows are one of the most important parts of your face. We’ve seen bigger, bolder eyebrows in Hollywood than we’ve seen in years.

You can achieve tons of different looks and styles just based on how you trim and groom your brows.

A classy natural brow will carry you further than you think. If you are a fan of your tweezers just give them a break for the month.

Give your brows a little extra definition instead to brighten up your face and eyes. 

Anastasia Beverly Brow Wiz 12k great reviews created without parabens, sulfates or phthalates.

I love this Brow Wiz. A retractable tip allows you to create hair like strokes that look like natural hair. 

Step 3- Eyeshadow for Bright Eyes

Eyeshadow is the easiest way to brighten up your face.

To achieve the perfect “I’m awake!” look. Use lighter shades to wake up your eyes with a natural eye lift!

We have a perfect example from PB&Japparel of how to achieve this look.

Natural Palette Urban Decay creates a natural smokey eye look. 8k other people give this pallette near perfect positive reviews..

12 Different natural shades in this palette provide you with everything you need from day to night. 

Tinaguan is a huge fan: All time favorite! This is the best brow pencil I have used so far. I have used other brow pencils before, but this is the only brow pencil I always go back to. It stays on for a long time, and goes on smoothly.

Step 4- Eyeliner for Added Definition

Use your smokey eye as a guide to sweep on a slight cat eyeliner look! It’s a time saving tip I love and will really open up your eyes.

Urban Decay Glide-On Eyeliner 24/7 14k great reviews

Saraleesweeties says: Awesome quality! I love these liners! Perversion is the blackest liner I’ve ever used and is my all time favorite. I was already a big fan of UD liners and loved to use them as bases to make eyeshadows really pop so the colorful ones are great for that. Perversion though goes on so easy and so dark with one swipe. I used to use zero prior to its release and although I still love zero, perversion is now my go to black liner.

Step 5- Make That Flawless Skin Shine

Your lotion should have had plenty of time to absorb into your skin by now.

Use a tissue to wipe away any eyeshadow powder that might have fallen on your skin in steps 1-3.

I’m always shocked how much falls off, which is the main reason I suggest doing your eyes first!

Missing black powder under your eyes can make you look more tired than wearing no makeup at all, so don’t miss it.

CC+ Your Skin but Better 2k reviews

CC+ is legendary. This is my absolute favorite color correcting cream or ‘liquid foundation’. Color-correcting cream provides full, flawless skin coverage and protects skin with SPF 50+ UVA/UVB broad-spectrum physical sunscreen.

Paraben and Phthalate free, this stuff actually improves the quality of your skin.

Plus, it’s infused with an advanced anti-aging serum made of hydrolyzed collagen, peptides, niacin, hyaluronic acid, vitamins, and antioxidants that work to diminish the appearance of wrinkles and pores to create a more radiant, and a flawless skin complexion.

Great review from Itsmealf: Simply love it and use it every single day. I honestly LOVE this product, I would even call it a medium to high coverage foundation than a CC cream. I wear it everyday because of its’ SPF 50, which was the first characteristic I was drawn to. It’s lightweight, it’s buildable and I have combo skin, flawless skin doesn’t come easy and this doesn’t get cakey or anything of the sort.

Nars Creamy Concealer 9k reviews

I like to dab my concealer on after my foundation. It’s a great way to use less makeup and ensure no red spots are rearing their heads.

Perfect review from Emearle: MY HOLY GRAIL PRODUCT. I’m the fairest person ever but this colour matches my skin tone better than any other concealer i’ve tried!!! it’s the slightest bit dark but not noticeable when blended! I have very dry skin and this just makes my skin look glowly and supple!!! I use the Kat Von D concealer to brighten this up under my eyes. But don’t think twice about getting this concealer. You won’t regret it.

Laura Mercer Translucent Powder 6k great reviews

This amazing powder by Laura Mercer sets your makeup for the day. Just a light sweep will reduce the appearance of pores and will make your look last longer.

Renaexcx: This has always been my favourite powder! I recently repurchased this powder and let me tell you, nothing else compares. It’s truly translucent and does not sink into fine lines or crease under my eyes and it gives your foundation a perfect matte finish.

Nars Blush 17k happy reviews

Don’t let this ultra high pigmented blush fool you! A bright blush used sparsely will give you a youthful glow that is not at all overpowering. It’s tops for making your skin look clean and bright.

Muareview: Nars blushes are very pigmented and therefore the brighter and darker colors must be used with a light hand for the blush to offer a flush that is more natural looking. With proper application, this blush offers a true glow that actually lasts. Since so little product is needed, the blush will last a long time, so the price tag is worth it!

Step 6- Mascara

Benefit Cosmetics They’re Real! Lengthening & Volumizing Mascara

I fell in love with this mascara after getting it in a BirchBox. Apparently everyone else loves it too with 14k+ positive reviews!

A high quality mascara will keep you from getting raccoon eyes mid day! Let’s face it that’s a terrible look for anyone!

Using mascara after finishing powder will slightly coat your eyelashes and make them appear thicker. 

Meganlix: Purchase – repurchase – repurchase – repurchase!!! No need for fake lashes any more ladies!!!! this give the absolute best “real fake lashes” look. The formula is a bit hard to hard to handle at first but it’s worth learning. It can be a bit stubborn to remove how ever. I’ve found the best is to just use some soap and warm water (I use the Philosophy Purity made simple 3 in 1 cleanser). Overall, i will buy this product till the day i die!! I just can’t get enough.

Step 7- Lips

Sephora Cream Lip Stain Liquid Lipstick 8k great reviews

A little lipstick can brighten your entire face! It doesn’t have to be bold, but it will make you look finished. 

MT2HI: LOVE IT!!! This product does everything Sephora says it will do – stays put for hours – even when you eat, and does NOT dry out your lips. The color does get a little more intense as it dries. I like that, but something to keep in mind if you are purchasing a dark color. I will definitely be purchasing more colors!
