Before picture. Only wearing my skincare (Clinique Dramatically Different moisturizer + Biore Watery Essence sunscreen) but I do have lash extensions on my top lashes.
I don't usually use a primer as I feel like my sunscreen sort of acts like one, but if you want cream products to last as long as possible, definitely apply one now
I begin with the Glossier Skin Tint in medium applied with a Real Techniques Miracle Complexion sponge. The shade light is probably a closer match to my skin tone, but it is pink toned whereas medium is yellow toned so I think its more suited for me.
Apply a sheer layer all over.
And blend it out with the RT sponge. Hopefully you can tell that it doesn't provide any coverage, mostly just evens my complexion out.
I then use the Glossier stretch concealer in medium and a Morphe E23 brush.
I apply it to my undereyes, then blend out with the RT sponge.
For blush, I've been loving the Becca Beach Tint Shimmer Souffle in Watermelon/Moonstone. I apply it with the Pat McGrath Buffer 003 brush, but any small duofiber brush works.
I apply the blush near the apples of my cheeks, blending upwards. Apply your blush wherever fits your face shape, I love the sun-kissed look of blush on the nose as well.
I prefer to do my blush first just because I tend to go heavy handed with it, and typically my bronzer and highlighter will balance/blend it out as I go.
For cream bronzer, I use the Sonia Kashuk undetectable cream bronzer in Warm Tan. As you can tell by my pan, I love this product. It looks quite natural on the face, is a good warm shade for me, and is supposed to be a dupe for the Chanel Tan de Soleil. That being said, when I completely use it up I think I'll purchase the Chanel one as it is actually cheaper per oz.
I apply it on my cheekbone area, blending upwards towards my temple and onto the forehead.
I then run the sponge over it, going over any harsh lines, and also making sure to blend it into my hairline. (I find that it looks more obvious if I don't blend it in my hairline)
I've been trying out this cream contour stick from Life's Entropy. It is in the shade Neutron, and is described as a medium golden brown. I could've gotten the lighter shade, neutron, but I was worried it would be too cool toned on my warm skin tone.
I apply it right at my cheekbone and try to angle it upwards. Doing it like this instead of a straight line really works better at defining my cheekbone. It makes my circular cheeks pop more when I smile.
And blend it out with the circular end of the RT sponge.
In addition to applying it on my cheek bones, I also carry it up towards my temples. I don't think I have a particularly large forehead, so I don't really try to contour it perfectly.
Just like my forehead, I mostly apply the contour on my nose to balance it out rather than to really chisel it. I blend it out with the same concealer brush as before.
Onto my favorite part, highlighter! I've been using Becca's SSP in Moonstone.
I also love the Laura Geller Easy Illuminating Stick in Gilded Honey for a more golden highlight.
I apply it generously in all of the typical places, tops of cheekbones, above eyebrows, temples, nose, cupids bow, chin, and blend it in with my fingers.
I go over my entire face as a last step, just to make sure everything is blended seamlessly.
This is the step in which I do my brows using ABH brow wiz in Medium Brown and ABH clear brow gel.
And finally spray my face with the Tatcha dewy skin mist.
To be honest, I love this but wouldn't repurchase. It gives me the same effect as Mac fix+ or Mario Badescu's rosewater spray (I might even try adding some argan oil to either of those sprays, then they would be literally the same as the Tatcha one)
As you can see, there is a pretty obvious luminosity to my whole face.
The final look- my main goal in this cream/liquid routine is to add a natural warmth and glow to my face. I don't consider this to be quite 'no makeup-makeup' but it easily could be.

While I realize that you put a lot of work into your makeup, I just want you you to know you look perfect without it.

Face looks really bloody shiny for some reason. TBH it looks like you have too much makeup as the tone doesn't match the rest of your skin..
