what's your makeup routine?

In the morning I wash with luke warm water and Boots Botanics Skin Brightening Deep Clean Gel, rinse, pat dry and apply Dickinson's witch hazel on a cotton pad as a toner. After skin is calm, I follow with Boots Botanics Responsive Moisture Lotion. I prep my brows with brow gel and brush them into shape nicely, use a nice taupe shadow on my lids with a very sheer sand shade on the brow bone...no eyeliner, nice defining mascara, sweep the face with sheer light bronzer or a rosy blush with a big brush and finish with L'Oreal Spiced Cider lipstick. (rosy with a cidery tone) it really makes my aqua eyes pop. I have all the friggin expensive lipstick brands and I like the L'Oreal one the best.The whole look is very fresh. It can be more dramatic if you leave off the sheer bronzing powder for a paler look. I don't wear foundation because I don't like the feel of it, and thankfully I don't need to cover anything.
In the winter I do experience dryness on my nose because it gets cold and dry here in the winter! When this nose thing happens I use this stuff called Cornhuskers Lotion. It has been around since like 1875 and it's supposed to be a heavy duty hand treatment. The great thing is, it's oil-free so it won't clog pores. Yay!
To exfoliate I use some sugar from the kitchen and mix it in with my favorite cleanser, works great!!!!!!
If I have any oil on my face at all I will quickly get rid of it with Clean & Clear sheets (THE BEST!!!)
