My 10-Minute Makeup Routine and 3 Blushes That Make Me Look More Alive | Wit & Delight

Today I’m sharing the makeup products I currently use nearly every day. A lot of these products are ones I’ve used for years, but the biggest change is the order in which I apply them.

One of my secrets to looking more alive every day is that I use three different blushes layered throughout my routine. I love the mix of different colors together and the saturated look this application method creates. This routine is a little more lengthy than some of the others I’ve shared over the years, but all in all it still only takes me about ten minutes in total. 

I’ll also be sharing a Reel of my makeup routine on Instagram so you can see the process in action. Keep an eye out for that on your feed soon!
