I have written this in the steps I do to apply my base for my makeup. I have explained what I use and why. I have included some of the products I use also. All drugstore products and all affordable..... Hope you enjoy x
1. Primer: This is my absolute MUST have when applying makeup. Without it my pores look bigger, my foundation doesn't stay on and it just doesn't give me a flawless finish.
A lot of people will skip this step and I have heard all the excuses. It takes about 20 seconds to apply and I would rather take 20 seconds in the morning to apply a primer than spend time later in the day reapplying my foundation.
2. Foundation: I prefer a full coverage foundation or one that has a buildable coverage. I have freckles (a lot of people don't know because I cover them) I apply with a foundation brush and blend,blend blend. Don't forget to blend down your neck. No one wants to see a line around your jawline
3. Concealer: I use a liquid base concealer with a yellow tone to it. I find this to help with covering dark spots and brightens under my eyes. I apply using my ring finger to dab the product over the area this way you will have control over the concealer and be able to use little product and get the benefits from it as apposed to rubbing it over the area. Rubbing moves the product around and doesn't let it focus on the the exact area.
Powders: I like to use 2 powders. I use a coloured pressed powder and a loose translucent powder because I get an oily T zone. Setting a liquid foundation with a pressed powder all over will add a bit of colour to my face, take away any shine and help get maximum wear from my foundation. I then apply a small amount of loose powder over my T zone. This helps with keeping the shine away.
hope you have found this to be helpful. I will be posting my basic highlighting/contouring routine in a few days
Until next time xox
