After I wash my face I usually moisturize then apply some concealer to the circles under my eyes - gotta love sleep deprivation! I've been using Maybelline Age Rewind concealer. I must say, it works pretty well. Before this I had been using (and still do sometimes) MAC Studio Fix concealer and while I liked it I felt like it was too cakey for day-to-day use. The Maybelline concealer is pretty thin, has great coverage and blends in great.
After the concealer I use MAC Studio Fix powder. I love this powder - always have and always will. It saves the step of wearing foundation and covers up great.
For blush I use MAC - Margin it's the perfect pink, not too bright. It gives a nice natural look.
After the blush I usually apply my favorite eyeliner it's called Rockstar from Urban Decay. It's a deep purple color which I love. I think black is too dark and dramatic for the day and this is the perfect color option for me.
I finish the "look" with some mascara. I buy the Maybelline Colossal Volume, it really works well. The last time I bought it I actually got the brown color by accident, I tried it and surprisingly I really like it!
That's it folks this is my usual day-to-day routine unless I'm going out to somewhere special of course, then I spruce it up a lot more.
What is your morning routine? What products have you found to be effective and help you cut additional steps?
I'm going to pick up some of that concealer. I have always had terrible under eye circles, and motherhood hasn't helped AT ALL :p I've yet to find a product that has made much of a difference, so maybe this is it??? Fingers crossed!
ohhh I'm glad you did this post today - I am looking for new make-up!
Try it! I have bad circles too (always have) and it helps. The Studio Fix powder also has great coverage! Let me know if it works for you! :)
:) Happy to help!!
OK, I am printing out this post, taking it to Nordstrom, & saying "This. All of this." Thanks so much for the make-up recs! I'm stuck in a rut & have been using the same Aveda powder forever. Hate the feel of foundation, so I'm loving your MAC rec!
Also, winos unite!
Also also, thank you so so so much for your kind comments on my blog & your sweet words on my I Heart Organizing feature.
I think I love you.

I also use that under eye concealer. It's the best one I've ever used!
I agree! I love it! Thanks for stopping by :)
Great post. I know a lot of blog readers who love to read about others' every-day look. I need to try some new concealer, so I might give yours a go. One thing I just can't do is go without liquid, it's tough for me! But for my lazy days at work I just use my Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer and that's it. It has really good coverage!
