Flawless Face / foundation routine

Step 1 - always start on a clean cleansed face, remove all traces of make up and exfoliate 2-3 times a week

Step 2 - Start by applying a moisturizer with spf in it! in the day i use clinique city block spf 40 in the day       ( It acts like a moisturizer+ spf+ primer)

Step 3- Choose a foundation that matches your skin tone and skin type. formulations vary on skin types. the best way to ensure your foundation matches your skin color is by testing the color on your jawline. it should blend into your skin color, any lighter or darker is NOT acceptable!

Step 4 - dot the foundation on your face and either rub in fingers or use a foundation brush to blend it in. Focus on areas that need coverage the most, don't pile on foundation where you have good skin. DO NOT FORGET THE NECK AND EARS.. YOU SHOULD BE ONE COLOR =)

Step 5 - conceal your under eyes if needed, always test a concealer at the shop before buying it, you don't want to get stuck with something that doesn't suit you. further conceal edges of your nose if you have redness, and cover up any remaining blemishes. Pro Tip using a lip linear or eye liner brush on a spot gives a more airbrushed finish.

Step 6 - dust loose or compact powder over your t- zone if you have oily skin and if you are creating a matte finish. i always only use translucent powders to cover the shine and oiliness without adding coverage.

Lastly i would advise all you to spend most amount of time on your skin, by perfecting your foundation and concealer application. You will realize that if your face make up is done perfectly you wouldn't even need to much eye make up etc.

P.s if you plan on doing a heavy eye look with dark eye shades i recommend you first do your eyes and then apply your foundation and concealer after. Sometimes heavy/ dark eye looks create a mess on your face which is hard to wipe of and clean if you have already done your foundation and concealer.

Try out this routine and let me know how it works for you! =)
