During the winter months it’s hard for me to get up early enough to apply full makeup. By full make up I mean adding the glittery eyeshadow and a great lip color. My skin needs constant hydration and applying full makeup every day then taking it off with makeup remover each night dries out my skin. My solution is a simple winter makeup routine. Here’s my routine:

Night before:

I am obsessed with the Butter Drench Restorative Rich Cream by bareMinerals. After a shower or washing my face I apply this generously on my face and neck before bed and let it sink into my pores while sleeping. I wake up without dry skin. I can’t forget to mention that it smells wonderful.

Morning:

While I moisturize with a butter/oil based moisturizer, I tend to wash with an oil-free face wash because my face will remain oily otherwise. I use Clean & Clear Morning Burst facial cleanser. It really does wake my skin up. Here are my next steps for my simple makeup routine:

1. Urban Decay’s B6 Vitamin-Infused Complexion Prep Spray
   
   
2. Urban Decay’s Pore Perfecting Primer
   
3. Too Faced Born This Way foundation in warm nude
   
4. Urban Decay 24/7 Black Velvet eyeliner
   
   
5. Benefit’s They’re Real mascara
   

And there you have it. My simple makeup routine! It takes me about 10 minutes to apply which is great when I’m running late in the morning.
