// My daily make up routine

Straight away, I'll admit I'm not much of a make-up person. I'm always maximising my time in bed by making my morning routine as simple as possible so naturally, I need a simple, every day make up routine that'll keep my skin looking decent throughout the whole day.

Recommended and advised by my friend Sophie, I reinvented my make-up routine and now it's simple but effective - and most importantly, quick and easy.

1) Real Techniques Expert Face Brush £9.99
This brush is great for applying my foundation quickly and without too much waste. Depending on what I'm doing in the day, I either sweep the brush across my face for a lighter coverage or I use the brush to stipple it over my face if I want a higher amount of coverage.

2) Rimmel Lasting Finish Nude Foundation £7.99
There are two reasons why this foundation is the best one I've ever tried. Firstly, I don't feel like I'm wearing any foundation - it's so light! And secondly, it stays on! I was hesitant as previous foundations which make the same claims have fallen short but when I look in the mirror at the end of the day before I take my make up off, there's actually something to get rid off!

3) Rimmel Fix & Perfect Pro Primer £6.99
I've used this primer before and ditched it after a while because it ran out quickly. I swapped for a (more expensive) primer, only to find it made no difference. So I'm back to this one - it's light and instantly provides a smooth canvas to start putting my foundation on.

4) Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer £5.49
This concealer helps to brighten the dark circles under my eyes and masquerades my tiredness from a late night and it will cover up any blemishes (and spots)!

5) Bourjois Powder Brush £4.99
I've had this brush for three or four years now and it's still going strong! I use it with a stippling motion and the technique really makes a difference to the lasting quality of my foundation.

6) Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder £3.99
This powder is cheap and lasts for ages - a winning combination! I originally had the transparent version but I was finding it was "washing out" my foundation, so after much persuasion from my friend, I gave this one a go and it's great at maintaining my colour.
