I just love Lorraine's beautychannel and since  she started with 
the day in the life I am in love with her mom and dad! Truly creative people with a great sence of humor. 


This is my entry for another wonderful contest!


Hope you enjoy and thank you Lorraine for this opportunity!


My everyday makeup routine is as follows:


1. I start with my moisturizer, right now I am doing the Dr.Murad 3 steps cure for I have some serious break outs..Uggghhh


2. Then I apply my foundation. I just discovered that the Sephora brand has a really nice foundation that gives me a natural coverage. (Sephora-fond de teint hydratant lissant/non gras D35)


3. After, I use my random conceiler that covers all these bad break outs.


4. On areas that need extra coverage I use a little Helena Rubinstein foundation. (Color clone-Créateur de Teint parfait 32) This color is way to dark for me but for now it covers all the flaws


5. When my makeup is just done I want a matte face, for it has the whole day to get oily and I hate retouching. So I buff my face with a matifying powder. (Clinique-Poudre transparent haute matité 04)


6. And then I apply a little bronzer on my neck, around the jawline and on the forehead. (Avon-Arabian glow bronzing pearls)


7. Some blush on the apples of my cheeck and around the eyebrow. (Clinique-Fard à joues poudre 120)


8. Lip balm. (Rosebud salve)


9. From the eyeshadow quad ofcourse the purple tone on the lid and the highlighter were it belongs. (Versace-Eye shadow duo 81519)


10. Khol eyeliner, some days on the lid or just the waterline or both, depending on my mood. (I bought this in Egypt)


11. Eyebrow gel to hold those darkies in place! (Random)


12. Mascara. (Clinique-Impact optimal 01)


13. Lipstick (MAC- Crème de nude )


 
















My routine stays every month almost the same, only the brands change. 


And here the pictures so you can see the results.
Ofcourse we want to be as superficial as possible so I took pictures of different days with same look, different clothes and different shoes.
