It’s been a little while since I’ve shared my full makeup routine, so here we are! I do a full face of makeup 1-3 days a week, depending on what’s on my calendar. If I’m filming a lot for work, have a social event, or just feel like taking the extra time to do it, then I will. Otherwise, I’ve pretty much mastered a 1-minute and 5-minute makeup routine that I use for all the other days of the week.
More often than not, I don’t wear any eye makeup beyond mascara, so that’s why I didn’t include any eyeshadow or eyeliner. To watch a video of me doing my step-by-step routine, click here.
