Weekday Face of the Day (FOTD)

After tidying my makeup collection and getting rid of all the things that were rarely / never used, I now have a selection of products that work together.   

Makeup tends to be neutral, natural flush, matte finishes with the occasional bit of shimmer and some lip gloss.  (Despite what I said here).

I'm more careful about what I buy and try not to waste anything.  Nothing new has been purchased in months.  

• Needs.  Work out what you use on a daily basis.  (It's less than you think).

• Suitability.  Assess your natural skin and hair colour.  Buy products that work with that not against it.

• Ingredients.  Learn what ingredients work for you and what doesn't.  (Silicone in hair products makes my hair stick together in clumps.  Not a good look).  

• Simplify.  Create a simple routine for every day that can be ramped up for evenings out.   

• Budget.  Give yourself a limit and stick to it.  Having a budget and a simple routine helps prevent waste.  

• Save or splurge.  Decide which products are worth spending more on and which aren't.  

• Organise.  Keep your stash tidy so you can find things easily.  

A typical face of the weekday day (aka FOTD) consists of foundation, concealer, pressed powder, blush, eye shadow, brow product, mascara, eye pencil (maybe) and a lip product.

Wishing everyone who's going to Brit Mums a fabulous time and sharing with all these great Linkys
