Every day make-up (University edition!)


I've had quite a few people recently ask me how I change my make-up for every day to nights out. I have massive issues with getting up in the mornings, so every weekday I have a debate with myself about how long I can stay in bed before I'm late to uni. I actually start crossing things off my morning to-do list like eating breakfast so I can have the extra five minutes! To save time applying foundation, poweder, etc, I have recently started to use MACs Studio Fix Powder. I tried just using powder and skipping foundation but as my skin is quite oily in areas, powder without foundation just emphasised shine. MAC has described Studio Fix Powder as 'a foundation and powder in one', so this reduces the shine in my face as well as giving me complete coverage in half the time it would take to apply both! Laziness as its finest. This applied with Benefits 'They're Real!' mascara and boi-ing concealer, an ancient blusher that I love but actually have no idea what it is (the labels worn off over the years, this was my mums before it was mine!), and Maybellines Lipstick and I'm ready to go! I'll add eyeliner if I'm out for the entire day, but for hour lectures I just can't deal with the effort!

Do you guys change your make-up routine depending on where you're going?

I always change up my makeup routine, if im just popping out then i will wear some concealer,mascara and brow powder but if im going shopping for the day i will wear foundation,powder,bronzer well everything i can ! great little routine youve got there :)

      Haha glad I'm not alone doing that! Doing everything you can when you're just popping out seems like waaaay too much effort! Thanks, sounds like you do too! :D xo

    My friend uses the the boi-ing concealer and absolutely loves it. Maybe i'll give it a go. I'm the same as you, my alarm has to go off about 3 times before I get up. I'm only like it in winter though.

      I really recommend it, it covers the dark circles around my eyes so well! Yeah I'm the same, during summer I'm up and ready to go. Hibernation in winter... xo

    I've always wanted to try mac studio fix but too scared as it breaks so many people out! Do you have no problems with it? I've been using the mineralise skin finish, which is great but quite light.

    Really want to try the boi-ing concealer too!

      Yeah I heard that about a few people too but decided to go for it. I've been using it for almost a month now and my skin is fine with it! Definitely go for the boi-ing though, so good xo
