Remember when I showed you HERE what does the makeup routine look like on a normal day for me? Well, it's changed a bit so I want to come up with a little update on the products I've been using intensely lately and the order in which I apply them:
- I start with my new favorite foundation Bourjois 123 Perfect.
- Then I always make my eyebrows. I usually opt for MAC Fluidline Dirty Blonde (review HERE).
- I light up my dark circles with the concealer Sephora 8HR Perfect Cover Concealer which you will find this fall in Sephora stores. I really like this product!
- I fix the concealer and foundation with my favorite powder Make Up For Ever HD Powder.
- Then I apply the makeup base all over my eyelid Too Faced Shadow Insurance.
- Most often I use eyeshadow INGLOT 15 SHINE - the color I'm obsessed with this summer. Click HERE for swatch and more information.
- Immediately apply a coat of The Real Super Liner Duo Precision because the brush is very easy to handle without touching the eyelash extensions.
- Then continue eye makeup with a few makeups from the palette Urban Decay Naked Basics.
- After I finish my eye make-up, I move on to contouring my face. I use it most often Too Faced Matte Sun Chocolate because it is not a very intense powder.
- One of my new favorite blushes is Lancome Desert Rose Blush, a summer edition from 2011 (if I'm not mistaken) that suits both pink and orange makeup.
- The next step is to light up the key areas: cheekbones, arch, nose bridge, and Cupid's bow with my favorite illuminator Fontana Contarini.
- And the last step is to apply the lipstick. The favorite at the moment is August lipstick, MAC Impassioned (click HERE for swatch).
As you can see I do not use mascara because I put on eyelash extensions and no longer needed 😀 Occasionally I also use silicone makeup base INGLOT Under Makeup Base.
These are the products that I use to make a make-up, I generally go through all these stages every day, and if time does not allow me, I make an eye make-up easier.
Share the love!
Today I want to urge you to come in Daria's blog (what a beautiful name!) because you will find very interesting product information, some of them are not found in Romania so it is a source of inspiration for shopping lists from holidays abroad, the reviews are very well structured and provide relevant information, do what good, big and clear photos and has a simple and beautiful layout which makes it easier to view the blog. Do I have to say more? I say that is not the case because you have to convince yourself with your own eyes.
*if you want me to recommend your blog next Friday, I'm waiting for your e-mail ioana.dumitrache@gmail.com.

How do you like HD powder from MUFE? I'm looking for one that doesn't give me that cakey look, but mattifies well, because my face turns into a light bulb pretty quickly, especially in summer :)).
It is very fine and mattifies very well. It is not visible on the skin even if it is white, but you have to apply quite a bit. Never use it as a powder bed when you make smoky eyes because then white spots appear in photos. It works perfectly in summer 😀
Sounds good! Thanks a lot for the tips and details 😀
Dearly! : *
I follow darlyst too and I like it very much 🙂
He has a very nice blog 😀
I would like to ask your advice in one regard. I want to take an urban decay palette and oscillate between Naked 1 and 2 (somehow more towards 2). Which one do you like more? It's very hard for me to decide 🙂
Dear Doria,
I only have Naked 1 and Naked Basics. I also want Naked 2 but just to complete my collection and because it has some very beautiful shades, I don't think I really need it.
I advise you to think about the colors and shades you use most often. If you like pink, red and brown tones, go for Naked 1, but if you like very pearly make-up and like gold, copper, bronze or silver tones, go for Naked 2.
Here is a picture with them in parallel: http://www.pinchofpretty.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/fdfsfs.jpg
I'm curious what you decide, but whatever you decide you make a good choice because Urband Decay makeups have a very good quality 🙂
Thanks for your response. I think I decided: to be naked 2 :) that's because I like to use bronze, gold and copper tones and a little pearl eyeshadow didn't hurt anyone :). I was also impressed by the shade of black in the palette.
Hi Ioana.
Interesting products ,,, I can't wait to test the sephora concealer, does he do his job well? Kiss you and follow you with pleasure :))
It's wonderful for me! I also used it on clients who had more visible dark circles and it looks very good. I haven't tried to cover some black circles yet because I didn't have 😀
I kiss you and thank you! : *
I really like your makeup and especially how you shape your eyebrows! xo
Thank you so much! : *: *: *
Ioana, thank you very much for the beautiful words! * blushing
How beautiful is the blush from Lancome - Desert Rose, I think it looks so cute on the cheeks.
I kiss you and thank you once again.
Dearly! <3 I have to manage to capture him in pictures, he is gorgeous in reality 😀
just today I got the idea with what products I use every day. It does not compare with what products you use (f quality) but there :)) I am very happy with the real brush rechniques -expert face brush that leaves you a complexion flawless.
what brushes do you use most often?
