Base //
Not much has changed here. Primer is still a must, and for that I'm still loving my ever-faithful Seventeen Skin Wow! 3 in 1 Highlighter followed by a layer of Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation. It works for now, but as the weather gets warmer I can feel myself wanting to go for something lighter. It won't be long before I'm giving my MAC Face and Body a whirl. Concealer-wise, it's still all about the Clarins Instant Concealer.
Eyes //
I'm lumping brows in this category, and of course for this it's all about the Anastasia Dipbrow Pomade. I really don't enjoy doing eyebrows and I wish I could skip this step, but alas, I'd look like I had no brows without it.
Eyeshadow is where I've implemented one of my time-saving hacks. I still use MAC's Soft Ochre Paint Pot, but now instead of fussing with different shadows and liners I'm going with a one-wash colour: MAC Texture. On days where it's too warm-toned, I'll pat a little of Wedge onto the lid and that's enough to lighten up the look. A couple of coats of Lancome Doll Eyes is usually enough, but if I feel I need a little more definition, MAC Powersurge Kohl Liner is a speedy way to do this.
Cheeks //
Another time-consuming area of my make up routine that had to go. I found that my contour and highlight routine was leaving me looking a little muddy, so I went on the hunt for an all-rounder blush. I wanted something in more of a taupe-y shade, rather than pink or red, and in the end I think I've found it in the form of MAC Prism.
Lips //
Lips are a fairly quick step....it's just deciding on a shade that takes a bit of time for me! I recently compiled a guide to my favourite nude liner/lipstick combos, so if you fancy having a look at what I've been using lately then definitely check out the link.
I'd love to know, how long do you spend doing your make up on a daily basis?
I love Lancome mascaras!

Lancome mascaras are some of the best in my opinion!

Mascara & Maltesers
My makeup has become even more simplified and I'm really much more on my skincare lately to look good :) RMS concealer, the mascara I'm trying at the moment, a clear brow gel, lash curlers, a cream blush and a lip colour - my must-haves.
