I want my everyday makeup to be simple and can be done within 5 minutes with minimal or no tools at all that's why most of the time I use only 3 items which is enough to brighten and give a nice color to my face. There are times though that I use more when I wanted to layer on products or I'm in the mood to spare some time. Here are my basic list of my daily/everyday makeup.
Primer
After my skincare routine I usually grab a primer. My usual primer should already have an spf and a little tint to it so I can skip bb cream or foundation. Additional feature is the brightening effect and so far It's Skin Star Cream (the one with stars on the lid) tick all my needs. As of the moment, I also have a balm type of primer from A'pieu which I used when I still have a foundation at hand.
BB Cream/Foundation
When I needed more coverage, I go for bb cream instead of primer or if it's foundation that I'm opting for then a primer is a must since foundations tend to look dry and patchy on my face. Overall, I only use bb cream/foundation when I'm going for something "heavy looking" makeup or if I wanted to look more put together.
Blushers
A nice color on my cheeks is always welcome since I have dull face. I usually go for something peachy and sun kissed/orangey type of blush since they compliment my skintone (I found out mine when the makeup artist put something orange on my graduation pictorial). They say that to know the perfect blush color, pinch your cheeks or jog and whatever is the color of your cheeks at that moment is the best hue to suit your skintone. I also like to layer my blushers to have that gradiation-more natural-almost blushing effect.
Lip Balm
Be it plain or tinted, lip balm is a must for me to avoid the chaps. I have naturally dry lips and I sometimes have the habit of licking them which makes my puckers more dry.
