my lazy day makeup routine

As a full-time student with a full-time job, I have way more lazy makeup days than not, but I do love a light face of makeup. This post has all of my lazy day products, and how I use them. And just as a note, I've included links to products in case you want to check them out, but I don't profit from anything.

To start, I like to use the Hourglass Airbrush Primer. I put my primer over a light moisturizer with spf, just because I have very dry skin, and this keeps my base smooth and glowy all day. On my lazy days, I don't use foundation, but I do use a bit of Natasha Denona Hy-Glam Concealer under my eyes. I do not use concealer to spot-correct acne, because I find that it tends to make it more inflamed. Instead, I opt for a cute pimple patch (hello, Starface?).

My eyebrows look a little sparse on their own, so I like to fluff them up with the Urban Decay Big Bush Brow Gel. I love how volumizing this eyebrow gel is. It has little fibers in it that really create the bushy brow look that I like. If I have the time, I'll fill them in a bit with the Urban Decay Brow Blade Brow Pen, but I don't always get around to doing that.

My very favorite makeup product is definitely blush, and lately I've been loving the Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush in the shade happy. It's such a fun baby-pink shade. I put three dots on each cheek, a bit on my temples, on my forehead and my chin, and blend it out with a beauty sponge.

After I'm done with my liquid products, I like to set it with the Nyx Matte Finish Setting Spray. After that dries, I dust a bit of the Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder over my nose and forehead (where my oily forehead girls at?). After powder, I dust a little, or a lot, of the Fenty Diamond Bomb Highlighter over my cheekbones, forehead, sides of my nose, and sometimes I'll swipe a bit on my eyelids. It's never a finished face without my Fenty highlighter. The fine, light-catching sparkle is just delicious.

Lazy days mean no eyeshadow, but I usually do swipe on some mascara. I absolutely love the Clinique High-Impact Mascara. It lengthens, volumizes, and doesn't clump. Finally, I love adding a champagne-colored shimmer to the inside corners of my eyes, on my brow bone, and on the tip of my nose. For the last few years, I've been scraping the pan of a single eyeshadow that was given to me by my mother before I started high school. I'd love to tell you what the brand and shade is, but that label has been worn off for years.

My lazy day lip product varies way too much for me to have a "usual", but I love a super shiny gloss. My current obsession is the Hourglass Phantom Volumizing Glossy Balm. I don't remember which shade it is that I have, since the label has worn off, but this gloss stays on for so long, it's insane. It's slightly plumping, without the insane minty burn that some glosses will give you, and they have just the right amount of pigment.

I set all of that again with the Nyx Matte Finish Setting Spray, and that's my lazy day face of makeup. It sounds like a lot written out, but it usually takes me no longer than 10 minutes. Thanks for reading!
