Alaya F. just loves everything beauty and wellness – her Instagram page is proof. She is one of my favourite celebs to follow for makeup inspo too because the girl’s got skills.
In her recent post, she showed off her everyday makeup routine and the look is perfect for nearly any occasion. It’s her take on au naturel makeup and she used a few hacks and Gen-Z trends that really caught my attention. Here’s everything I loved about Alaya F.’s makeup tutorial.
She Preps With Gold
Alaya began her makeup routine with skin prep. She applied a gold-infused facial elixir and massaged it on her skin. This helps moisturise and brighten the skin instantly and it makes for an amazing glowy base.
A water-based gold-infused elixir that also serves as a primer is the Daily Life Forever52 Gold Wateroof FGW001.
Alaya Applies Concealer First
The celeb applied her concealer on her under-eye area. Applying concealer before foundation is more effective in covering up discolouration under the eyes and it also prevents cakey makeup.
A concealer that also delivers skincare benefits is the MyGlamm Super Serum Concealer.
She Then Mixes Foundation With Moisturiser
She mixed a pump of foundation with a pump of moisturiser in her hands and then blended it all over her face and neck with a makeup sponge.
A great moisturiser to mix with foundation is the Foxtale Ceramide Supercream Smoothening Moisturizer.
Her Contour Skills Are On Point
For sculpting her face, Alaya applied a cream contour beneath her cheekbones, jawline, and on her temples and blended it with a brush.
The Insight Cosmetics Duo Stick Conceal Contour + Highlighter is so easy to apply.
She Picks The Right Blush Shade
I’ve noticed that Alaya’s blush flatters her dusky skin tone so well. In the reel, she used a peachy cream blush and it’s perfect for Indian skin tones.
A great peachy blush that looks amazing is the Flossy Glowbot I Peach Digger/ Chocolate Drizzle.
Her Eye Makeup Is So Simple
Alaya’s go-to eye makeup look is simply stunning. Instead of basic winged eyeliner, she applied a nude-toned cream eyeshadow with a little shimmer on it on her lids and then defined her lash lines with brown kajal.
My personal favourite makeup tip is using brown kajal instead of black too and I use the MyGlamm Superfoods Kajal because it stays on forever.
Alaya’s Transfer-Proof Lip Hack
Her lip makeup routine is genius. She first applied a lip stain and blurred it out with a brush for a natural look. After that, she went in for a shimmer-infused lip gloss to get a juicy pout.
A lip stain that keeps my lips hydrated is The Body Shop Sheer Touch Lip & Cheek Tint.
Try out Alaya F.’s makeup routine and you just might make it your go-to everyday makeup look too.
