I forgot to mention my favorite eyelash combo!

Ah thank you! I've just grown so much more in love with makeup over the years. It started about 2 years ago & now it's just evolved into somewhat of a career for me.

NARS is amazing <3

I love porefessional too! It was my first Sephora high end purchase.
NARS Sheer Glow is my favorite high end foundation when i want to give myself more radiance to the face. The creamy concealer is also my favorite!!
ALL YOUR HIGHLIGHTERS ARE MY FAVORITES OMG. I want to actually purchase Dior Amber Diamond & Mary Louminizer. I ran out of Soft & Gentle too.
I seriously need to haul a bunch of MAC things when I get paid.. lol.

I actually love Baby Skin too! It's my alternative to using my Smashbox one. I also love Hourglass! You should definitely try it if you have oily/combo skin. Rimmel stay matte powder is also awesome but it's too light for me /: MAC Well Dressed is awesome too! & butter glosses are to die for! The formulation is perfect.

I adore your routine; it's very well organized and of high quality. I'll post mine in just a moment ^ _ ^

Ah thank you! I've just grown so much more in love with makeup over the years. It started about 2 years ago & now it's just evolved into somewhat of a career for me.

Ah, your routine is so very much better than mine; I'm going to have to work up that stash... I can't particularly afford much.

Every-day:

Cleanser:
Garnier Clean+ [Charcoal Blackhead Eliminating Scrub]
Sea Breeze Toner
PONDS Dark Spot Correcting Moisturizer [I use it to give my skin an even tone]

Primer:
Baby Skin
Hm... I think that I'll try out what you use.

Foundation:
Garnier BB cream using BeautyBlender ... [it isn't quite my colour, either. The blending sponge helps, but I have to use a lighter shade of (frankly, a crappy and old foundation... but it's paler) on my jaw line, neck, a little on the forehead, nose, and chin, to blend.
I hate doing that. It ends up looking nice but... eh.
I love the Garnier BB cream, but again, since none of them are my colour... I want a foundation.]
I'm still looking for good foundations! I'm constantly in the market; I haven't quite found one that matches my skin tone, for I'm pale but I do not have a pink undertone.
I'm close to classic ivory + warm.
So, I was thinking of trying out either the True Match foundation or the bareMinerals Bareskin Pure Brightening Serum Foundation... OR the HD foundation by Makeup Forever.
What would you suggest? Something else?
I'm going to be purchasing a new foundation this week, finally.

Concealer:
I'm still looking for good concealers! I'm constantly in the market, primarily because I have difficulty finding my skin tone.
What would you suggest? Would you suggest the Bobbi Brown?

What I use for under the eyes is Garnier Skin Renew Anti-Dark Circle Eye Roller; I allow that to get a bit "tacky" for a while, then I tap it into my skin and blend. The Blender helps keep it from being too heavy. This is a good product, though I prefer using it and then putting a small amount of concealer on top of it; it doesn't look cakey, the Eye roller corrects the darkness with a peachy-salmon tint and then the concealer covers and brightens the area well.


Blusher:
Maybelline Master Glaze by FaceStudio Glisten Blush Stick; Just-Pinched Pink
[This is gorgeous... it is perfect for my skin tone, sheer yet you can easily build it up if you wish for a more dramatic appearance, and it stays on all day; I've always preferred creams for that reason.]

Eyebrow & Eye Liner:
Wet & Wild Eyebrow & Liner Pencil in Taupe [very good product].

Lip Liner & Gloss:
L'Oreal Colour Riche in Rose (almost exactly my colour, but a bit more of a pink... it's beautiful, stays on all day, and compliments my skin tone perfectly.)
This is so frustrating... the brand rubbed off of the tube (glass tube), but I got it at SallyBeauty in Pink Pearl. I love it... haha, that doesn't help you much.
Although I suppose that the latter isn't particularly an "everyday" product, since my lips are pretty full on their own and I don't want them to look too... fat, hah.

Mascara:
Mega Plush Volume Express by Maybelline in Black-Brown... (it's not the best, however it's also not the worst.)

Important:
I do not have anything to set the makeup with. I know, I know...
It's not good... would you like to suggest something that doesn't make me look matte? I don't prefer the matte look on myself.

Also, I want a bronzer for contouring! I think that I'd look lovely with a contour, but the bronzer that I have was simply way too dark for my skin tone.
Do you believe that the bronzer you have would work on fair (warm) skin? I have an olive skin tone, and can tan quite easily, but it's still fairly pale most of the time (the sun doesn't shine often here).

I'm still somewhat new to makeup, if you couldn't tell ^ U ^'''
