My Everyday Makeup Routine

     This is actually my first makeup tutorial post! Let me give you a back ground on my makeup "journey." When I was in high school, I always received makeup from my mom in the US. She would send me Maybelline and Covergirl mascaras and eyeliners, not that I knew how to put them on. It wasn't until my freshmen year in college that I started taking interest in wearing makeup. I had on simple makeup: powder foundation, mascara and blush. That was it! Then, my mom introduced me to Youtube beauty videos that I took more interest in the art and started learning simple techniques here and there. The first ever Youtube beauty guru I've ever watched was fafinettex3 or Aubrey, in real life, a Filipino beauty guru based in the US. Then I subscribed to the Fowler sisters, Elle and Blair (allthatglitters21 and juicystar07 respectively), Michelle Phan, Julie of julieg713, Kandee Johnson, the Pixiwoo sisters to name a few and I haven't looked back since. I am an official Youtube beauty channel fiend, watching a ton of tutorials everyday! I have subscribed to a ton of channels on Youtube all focused on beauty and fashion. Long story short, I have been influenced by this new form of media with regards to makeup. Watching on Youtube is like getting free makeup lessons from makeup artists with the likes of Lisa Eldridge without ever leaving the comforts of your own home.

     With that out of the way, here's my everyday makeup routine! I love to keep it simple and looking fresh and awake. My makeup routine has evolved ever since but I still keep it within my comfort zone, prefect for everyday.

  

What's in my makeup bag?

Hey there! Just wanted to share with you the stuff I have in my makeup kit. So here's what my makeup kit looks like. It's an Estee Lauder striped pouch with a little flower stuck on the side (my mama gave it to me):

Hello makeup bag. :)

Here's how it looks like inside:

Please forgive me for the lack of knowledge of taking photos. :))
