As usual do your regular Skin Care Routine
Mine starts with using Biore's Pore Unclogging Scrub with my fancy little Scrubber.

Next I move onto my Clean and Clear Morning Burst Facial Cleanser for Sensitive Skin. This product makes my skin feel so clean.

After I get done showering I pat my face dry and then apply my Moisturizer by Equate. My skin feels smooth and fresh all day after an application.
My Skin care routine keeps my skin acne free and clean I do this daily while showering.
Start your Foundation routine to set your eyes
Instead of a regular Primer I use my Equate Moisturizer and just run a few drops over my lids I know shame on me shame on me for not using a regular Primer but i've personally had better results with this than most primers. Personal preference!
After applying that I use the wonderful Maybelline Matte and Poreless Foundation in fair for my skin, but they range in all different tones and skin colors. I love this foundation because it hides imperfections with ease and is not oily or greasy and even works great in hot temperatures, (Which is always great).
I a lso use my Concealer at the same time under my eyes to hide circles. I don't have heavy circles but it a lso works to making the face look smoothed out. I use Rimmel London's Hide the Blemish Concealer balm in Fair 201. Next I use my setting Powder/Foundation Powder which is a lso Maybelline and lastly dust on Wet and Wild's Illuminating Palette in Catwalk Pink on the apples of my cheeks. I will leave links to all the products I use.

Grab that Crease Brush and get to work!
My all time favorite tools to use on my lids are by Eco Tools <333 I got these beauties at Ulta on sale for around $7 and they were buy 1 get 1. I will leave a link to these at the bottom.
I will take my Crease Brush above on the left side and start packing in color with the Windshield Wiper motion, only way to go. A new palette I picked up recently was Stila's Mind Palette I love the Matte shades in there.
I will a lso leave a link to this as well. You can build colors on and then buff them out take a slightly lighter color when starting and then a deeper shade when blending.
Packing color into the center lids
At this point I would take my fluffier brush and start packing color into my center lids, with light but firm motions. You can blend some of the color on the center of the lids to the outer crease and corners too.
Take another shade and pat it into the eye duct making sure to keep the color out as best as you can. Blend everything together well with a clean unused brush and you have a beautiful finished look.
