SHINE: Current Makeup Routine + #DailyMakeupTotal

I may be a makeup enthusiast, but I prefer a natural fresh look for ordinary days. Inspired by Ellie Talks Makeup's idea, I've compiled my daily makeup products and computed my #DailyMakeupTotal. Let's see how much my tiis-ganda look has cost me! 


First of all, I do not use a primer for everyday. I usually put on my makeup after I apply my moisturizer. It pains me to say this but I do think that if I apply a ton of product on my face every single day, my face will wrinkle faster than it should. 

Most of the products I use can be bought at the drugstore because I'm a cheapskate. In my defense, numerous drugstore products have incredible quality that are highly comparable to high-end products. Below are the only high-end products in my list. 

L-R: Tarte Double Duty Classic Courage; Mac Twig

(Because I only use the blush in Tarte's Double Duty palette, I only added the price of the single blush in my total.)  

Whenever I'm in a hurry, I skip three steps in my makeup routine: foundation; powder; and highlight. Don't get me wrong, I love using these three - they're amazing! However, I can still complete my fresh everyday look without them. 

L-R: Elf Baked Blush; L'oreal True Match Liquid Foundation; Nichido Pressed Powder

On the other hand, I have two products I cannot live without. As expected, one of them is for my brows. I used to be an eyebrow-pencil girl, however, I recently discovered an alternative for ABH brow pomade which is the Milani Stay Put Brow Color. It comes with a thin pointed brush which is perfect for my small brows. The other product is mascara. Unfortunately, I have sparse eyelashes thus a volumizing mascara is a necessity for me.

L-R: Maybelline Hypercurl Volum' Express Mascara; Milani Stay Put Brow Color

Products I use (in order): 

L'oreal True Match Liquid Foundation in G1 Gold Ivory (PHP 600)
Nichido Pressed Powder in Amber (PHP 100)
Chap Ice Lip Balm (PHP 40)
Milani Stay Put Brow Color in Dark Brown (PHP 450)
Maybelline Hypercurl Volum' Express Mascara (PHP 199)
Tarte Double Duty Classic Courage Blush in Courage (PHP 1400)
Elf Baked Blush in Pinktastic (PHP 250)
Mac Satin Lipstick in Twig (PHP 1000)

#DailyMakeupTotal = PHP 4,039
