My Everyday Makeup Routine
Over the summer, I’ve been putting up a question box on Instagram on Fridays 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 six years and it’s really phenomenal. It goes on super smoothly (I use this brush – 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.
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 this brow gel to brush them out and hold them in place without being stiff.
Eye ShadowÂ
I loved Flekk and so far I haven’t found something I love to replace it. For the last few months, I’ve been using the Be Humble palette and it is fine but not amazing.
I also put on a little Babe Lash serum on my eyelashes before I put on my eyeshadow (use the code JANSSEN for 20% off).
And I use this liquid eyeliner which lasts FOREVER.
Mascara
I use the 4Real Mascara from Babe Lash when I want a traditional mascara and the Tarte XL mascara when I want a tubing one.
Blush/Highlighter
I use this blush and this 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!
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?
