My daily make up routine

This is my current makeup routine which I feel works best for me, Please feel free to comment below with any ideas or questions you may have.

I first of all cleanse my face with Dermalogica's  Derma Clay cleanser and follow that up with the active moist Moisturiser:

I then apply Simple's Kind To Eyes  Revitalising Eye Roll on Gel.  Its  a cool eye gel to remove puffiness from underneath the eyes making me look refreshed.

I apply Boots aloe vera eye cream to create the perfect canvas to smooth on concealer underneath my eyes. It is a lightweight non-greasy eye cream. 

While allowing the cream to sink in under my eyes. I would then apply the YSL Touche Eclat foundation in B80 with a sponge or foundation brush.

I then would apply a NARS creamy stick concealer in the shade called 'Amande' under my eyes. I blend that in with my ring finger.

To create a little more of a brightened eye look under my eyes I apply MAC's studio fix concealer  in NW40 and pat that in gently with my ring finger 

I use the translucent powder from a Bobbi Brown concealer set to set my concealer under my eyes and prevent the concealer from creasing into the fine lines under my eyes. I use a blusher brush to even out the distribution and gently pat it under my eyes. 

Now unto the eyeshadow:

 I use MAC paint pot in the shade Quite Natural as a primer over my eyelid to allow my eyeshadow to last longer throughout the day. 

This is then followed by MAC eyeshadow in the shade Twinks which I apply over my eyelid with an eyeshadow brush. 

I use Benefit They're Real  Mascara on my upper lashes 

I would then apply a blusher. The blushers I use change from day to day depending on my mood or what look I have in mind. But I regularly use  the Raizin  blusher from MAC.

Lastly I would apply a lipstick I currently love NARS lip pencil in the shade Bahama.

My current foundation : YSL Touche Eclat Foundation

I feel that the most important part of achieving a successful overall makeup look is the foundation. It the  base of where all the other makeup is applied on top of. If the foundation doesn't pop then the whole overall look is ruined.
I like my foundation to have a natural looking effect so I would like the undertones of the shade of the foundation to be as close to my skin tone as possible.
The foundation I currently use is the YSl Touche Eclat foundation which I have been using for the past couple of years.  I love this particular foundation because its a light weight foundation with buildable coverage. I would say that this foundation provides sheer to medium coverage.
According to YSL the foundations 'conceals imperfections while enhancing skins natural beauty'.

I have tried a number of different foundations but feel that this works the best for me. It looks great in natural lighting as well as indoors.
This foundation can easily be applied with a foundation brush or even a sponge to enable a a precise and seamless finish unto the face.
The great thing about this foundation is that it caters for a range of skin tones from those with porcelain skin to golden brown to ebony tones.

I use the shade B80 which suits my complexion the best.
