Welcome to my beauty blog. Here I will share with you tips and tricks of the trade. I thought I'd start with the basics. Foundation. 1- MOISTURIZE. To get the perfect base you need to start with a moisturizer suited to your skin type. If you have oily skin then apply an oil free or an oil absorbing moisturizer. If you have dry skin then use a rich creamy moisturizer but go easy. You don't want a slick base for your foundation to just slide right off. Let the moisturizer set for a few minutes. If your foundation has no SPF I'd advise your moisturizer has an SPF of 15-30 2- PRIME- Then if you tend to get oily, or your foundation never seems to stay on, apply a primer. I recommend the Smashbox Photofinish foundation primer. Found at any Smashbox store or online. Let it set before the next step. I use this primer on every face I work on. 3- FOUNDATION- Now lets apply foundation. I highly advise to use a light foundation first on your entire face. My Favourites are M.A.C face and body, Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua foundation or on the cheaper side of things the LOreal True Match Liquid foundations. All are all very light, they even out skintone with out caking up. Using a makeup sponge or the tips of your fingers, apply dots of foundation on your chin, cheeks, forehead and tip of the nose. Makeup artists swear by foundation brushes to apply product.
