Over the summer, I’ve been putting up a question box on Instagram most Sundays and then answering the questions that come in over the following week.
One question that has come up more than once is about my everyday makeup and skin care routine.
I am NOT a beauty junkie by any stretch of the imagination, but I DO wear makeup every single day.
Also, for the record, I have pretty easy skin. I don’t break out super easily or deal with a lot of skin issues (and I never have).
Anyway, with those disclaimers, here are the makeup and skincare products I use on a daily basis.
My Everyday Makeup and Skin Care Routine
I wash my face morning and evening with Dime Beauty’s THE WORKS Line. (By the way, I am militant about washing my face. I haven’t slept with my makeup on in probably two decades. The idea of not washing it off before going to bed makes my skin crawl. It would literally feel as awful to me as getting into bed with shoes on).
I use one of these makeup removing washcloths to get all my makeup off.
Before I put on my makeup in the morning, I use this facial sunscreen.
When it comes to actual makeup, here’s what I use:
BB Cream
I have used Shine Cosmetic’s BB Cream for the last five years and it’s really phenomenal. It goes on super smoothly (I use this brush to apply it and my code is JAN40) and hits that perfect combination of making your skin look amazing without looking or feeling like you’re wearing a bunch of foundation. I use the color Awaken. You can use code JANSSEN10 for 10% off.
I also use this cult classic concealer – it’s so good!
Eyebrows
I have thick, dark eyebrows on my own (it’s my good fortune to live in a time where those kinds of eyebrows are popular) – I use the brush from Dime’s Eyebrow Enhancing Gel to brush them out (it’s long since run out of gel, but I just keep using the basically empty brush now).
Eye Shadow
My favorite eyeshadow company (Flekk) closed so I’ve now been using a combination of the Sublt Jelly eyeshadow and the Urban Decay eyeshadow set.
For eyeliner, I layer the liquid eyeliner from Shine (code is JANSSEN10) with the darkest powder from my eyeshadow palette.
Mascara
I use the 4Real Mascara from Babe Lash (code is JANSSEN) or this tubing mascara from Tarte. I also love the eyelash primer from BabeLash (code is JANSSEN for that as well)
Blush/Highlighter
I use this Tarte baked blush in peach and I use these illuminator drops as a highlighter.
Any questions or things I missed? Happy to answer!

I use that face oil too, and they had it in the fff fall sale for $49! I’ve seen it in quite a few of their sales!

Any thoughts on the Babe Lash? Good results? Have you tried any similar products?

It’s the only lash serum I’ve ever used, so I can’t compare it, but I LOVE it. My eyelashes look the best they ever ever have – longer and thicker and more full. Highly recommend.

Do you use an eyelash curler? If so what kind? Your lashes look amazing!
Janssen Bradshaw says
I don’t!

I used to use falsies mascara as well and found that it began to flake when it got old and I would have to replace it more often than I liked. Someone recommended LoReal telescopic mascara. I’ve liked it better because it will last longer with less flaking. The wand is different than you are used to, bit if you give it a chance you may like it as I do. Not expensively priced either at about $8.00 a tube.

What is the lip product in the pictures?
