Morning beauty routine

It takes me approximately seven years to get out of bed in the morning, but once I manage to get up I splash my face with cold water and that’s about it.

If I have to interact with people, I’ll put some concealer under my eyes and use that eyebrow gel stuff.

Powerful brows are the key to success.

When I’m out and about, I don’t carry any beauty products with me. I don’t have my life together enough to own those oil blotting paper things but I’m working on it.

If I need to glam up a day time look to go out at night,

I’m a big fan of using brown and pink eyeshadow colours.

I smudge them right on my eyelids straight from this Sportsgirl palette I’ve had since I was 11.

Night’s out

If I’m hitting the town I’ll make a decent effort.

I don’t do anything with my hair but I’ll use foundation, eyeshadow, brown mascara, and bronzer on my face – and a sneaky red lip every now and then.

I use a Revlon 24-hour stay red lipstick – it stays on for days.

I use Tarte foundation on my face and everything else is mostly leftovers from my 16th birthday.

Evening beauty routine

If I’ve been wearing makeup I’ll wash my face with Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Face Wash and that’s it.

If I haven’t been wearing makeup I’ll just use water.

I want to say it’s a “less is more” philosophy, but I’m actually just lazy.

In terms of beauty maintenance, I get my hair done in Australia whenever I’m there by the one woman I trust with my hair – her name is April.

Hit me up if you want her number.

My celebrity beauty icon would definitely be Angelina Jolie in her heyday.

As I’ve gotten older my beauty routine hasn’t changed a bit.

I still put on my eye shadow with my finger and my under eye area has never seen an eye cream.
