    I use various make up from MAC, Revlon, Max Factor, Clinique etc... depends on what I need, what the cost is and what is feels like on.

    I use a concealer on any spots and under my eyes then I apply foundation and blend to the outer edges of my face with a sponge. I put on mascara, blush on the apples of my cheeks & sometimes a bronzer all over my face and usually a lip liner and lip stick or gloss. If it is night time I add eyeshadow and pencil in my brows (I have a scar). I am not great at applying eyeshadow & like the op, use online tuts for help.

    For a FULL Face:

    I give my face a good scrub and cleansing first then use a teeny tiny bit of moisturiser.

    I use a concealer around my eyes and nose then apply my liquid foundation with a sponge. Once I feel it is dry I may do a second coat of foundation depending on how the coverage worked first time round. Then I do a light dusting of "Camera Finish".

    I then do a light spritz of water and wait for that to settle. This seems to take the "powdered look" off my fade.

    Then black liner under my top lashes prior to curling them. I retouch with concealer around my eyes if necessary. I apply a based shade of eye shadow, then highlighter colour, main colour and a darker colour from the outer corner of the top eyelid and along the crease then I blend with a finger.

    I choose a coloured eyeliner for the bottom eyelash line and usually black along the top. Then I do several coats of mascara.

    THEN

    I pick out my blush and do cheeks and temples and use a deeper colour for the contours.

    Lip liner and lipstick with a dab of gloss in the centre of bottom lip.

    I spritz again lightly with water and once thats dry I also do a light spray of hairspray over my face (sounds weird) it seems to help everything stay on and fresh looking longer.

    P.S I do not do a full face all that often its too much effort
