Spring Skin in Five Minutes.

Now my skin has cleared up (three cheers please), I’m a bit happier to use lighter products that conceal well and look natural and dewy. My skin still has a bit of scarring and blemishes yet to fade, but luckily I have a pretty perfecting routine in place to keep me in check – I really swear by this lineup at the moment as it’s the perfect way to conceal imperfections but get a really natural finish.

I start by applying the Erborian CC Creme HD (£15 for the smaller size), this has become an everyday product for me. You guys will know how much I love the Origins VitaZing Moisturiser, and this is quite a similar product in that it gives a really light ‘post-holiday’ kind of glow rather than lots of coverage. It completely enhances the complexion and looks heavenly when applied – it’s more of a colour-correcting cream than a base though as it has a really subtle but flattering tint. I use it to even out my skin, so I often wear foundation over it – but honestly I find it so flattering that sometimes this isn’t even necessary. It’s also amazing for evening out a blemish-prone skin tone and giving this perfecting glow that manages to conceal redness and scarring. Incredible stuff.
I mix it with a little of the MAC Pink Rebel Lustre Drops (£18), I love this mixed in with moisturiser. Such a natural way to get a no-fail natural glow, they always look so flattering. I probably would only wear them mixed in with something like moisturiser or primer to be honest – I find that patted on alone they look a bit much.

Next up I tap a little of the Maybelline Fit-Me Anti-Shine Foundation Stick (£8.99) on to any areas that need a touch more coverage. I am loving this stuff at the moment, it offers the ultimate coverage yet kind of just becomes one with the skin? It looks incredibly natural and yet covers so well – I probably wouldn’t use it all over my skin but rather I touch-up areas that need some help. It’s so dreamy – I also love it underneath my base for an even more natural result.

Finally, I finish off with a light dusting of the Jurlique Rose Silk Finishing Powder (£22.05), a lovely natural translucent powder that sets makeup in place and helps to conceal imperfections and pores in one. Probably one of the best powders I’ve tried as it feels lovely and looks incredible, I really rate it. Just a small dusting really hides bumpy skin and any signs of pores while keeping makeup fresh for the entire day. Lovely!

Do you have a lazy everyday makeup routine?
