1) You MUST begin with a clean face.. I personally use PeterThomasRoth Acne SkinCare Regimen (sephora), I think I'm on week 6, it's good so far!! Here are tips to fabulous skin!
2) MOISTURIZE, MOISTURIZE- I promise you, attempting to put foundation on dry skin is nearly impossible, it doesn't feel good either! Whether you have oily skin, dry skin, or combo find a moisturizer that works for you. My mom has always sworn by Olay! But check these out.
3) Prime- this specific application step has recently been introduced to me. Right now, I'm using Laura Mercier foundation primer, it's not oil-free, sadly :(.. But it seems to work well!
4) Foundation- I'm currently using Lancome's 13 Teint Idole Ultra- stays for 13-hours! Or just about.. You really have to test, test, test in order to find the one most suitable for your skin. Everyone SWEARS by Bare Escentuals, but it's just not my kind of coverage. I've always been into liquid! But if you don't like the feel, definitely try out mineral or powder foundation, even tinted moisturizer! If you don't know what color you are, try this website out!
5) CONCEALER: my heaven. Seriously. In the span of my life, I may or may not have tried over 100 different concealers, different brands, different colors, etc. When I stopped being a regular sunbather, I SHOCKINGLY realized I'm the lightest color in every brand & sometime's even those can be too dark. So: Pick Your Coverage, find your color, and TRY until it works. I promise you, concealer is a must-have ladies! Right now I'm using Laura Mercier Concealer Pot, I love it! But when it gets to dark, I always start layering Clarins Self-Tanner for the face!(
6) Powder- I always use a loose powder to lightly set the make-up, Clinque's formula has some incredible staying power! I gently tap my powder brush and dust over my face and twice in my oily spots!
7) Bronzer- I know I said Bare Escentuals isn't pour moi, but just the foundation! I SWEAR BY WARMTH. It gives a nice- peachy glow, dab it twice with a smaller brush and use it for contouring the cheeks as well...takes pounds of the face..
8) Blush- I love blush! Most make-up artists agree that Nars Orgasm flatters almost 100% of women, but I don't wear mine sadly :/.. I like to stick with pretty peaches with less shimmer and more matte, at least during the winter. So, I'm currently wearing Two-Faced Blush in Peachy!
9) Curl+Masc.= I used to hate curling my lashes, but I realized it makes a HUGE difference. Mascara's vary in everything from color to consistency, so try em' out and pick the one that makes you happy. If I could, I would buy endless amounts of DiorShow Iconic Mascara, but for $27 dollars a pop, it's just unrealistic :( Maybelline has always worked for me. So start there!
10) Always end with lip-liner, usually Rimmel in Addiction. The KEY to lipliner is outlining the lip & blending it in! It's necessary unless you want to look like a southern stereotype! End with a nice lipbalm, or clear gloss. I love my Mac Lip Conditioner!
This is my everyday face. believe it or not, & everyday I have fun putting it on. So try these out, be sure to match the colors to your own skintone & let me know how it looks! I skimp out on eyeshadow & eyeliner because I'm on-the-go and want to look more natural! Remember, these steps are for enhancing your beautiful features!
