POWDER - CONCEALER- FOUNDATION

 
It's easy!!!

I guess the mostly asked question about makeup is "how to choose a foundation that suit me most?" Girls and guys, I have to say that there is no need to worry about that, cos you never have to have one foundation! This works and people always ask me why I have such a natural face that just look like no makeup at all when i actually had.

 

Why???

Simply because the most translucent, natural looking skin can (only) be obtained if you wear no foundation. Keep this in mind, let people see your face, rather than your makeup. A light hand is always important, even in heavy evening makeup (and you shall see later on).

This is my own experience, and also a big tip from famous makeup artist, Kevyn Aucoin. To have a perfect face, u just need:

1. A velour puff
2. A concealer that is slightly dry to feel
3. Some loose powder

 

Steps to follow

1. As usually smooth makeup base all over your face, better if it has a uv protection.
2. Put concearler whereever you want, like dark circles, redness and broken capillaries. The result will be better if you can get a brush, get some concealer with it and put on the place you want to correct, then blend it with your finger. But only your finger will also do.
3. Use a fluffy brush and apply loose powder over the whole face.
4 Use the velour puff and press extra powder to area you have applied concearler to encounter the moisture of it, especially underneath the eyes. (This helps prevent mascara from sticking on to the lower eyelid and getting messy) You might also put extra powder on the upper part of your apples so as to catch falling eyeshadow. Doing this you can then easily get rid of it by brushing off the extra powder.

 

My favourite

Velour puff

M.A.C. disc sponge A economic, yet of high quality puff. It's nice to touch on your face, and can give you an even and stiff coverage. Since it is a high density puff, it's also good for applying foundation and any other liquid or creamy makeup. For example, you can use it to blend the concealer on your face.

Concealer

Bobbi Brown concealer If your skin problem is not that serious, you can actually use their stick foundation, which gives very good coverage. In case of dark eye circles, obvious marks, their concealer is a good choice. It is slightly drier than other concealers (usually available in cream or liquid). It is important for concealer to be slightly drier to touch, because it is less likely to travel on the face. Especially when applied under the eyes, mascara is less likely to stick on to the lower eyelids because of moisture from the concealer.

Concealer brush

This is not a must item, but it will be good to use when you want to apply a thicker layer for more intense converage. Bobbi Bown concealer brush is a brush with the right material, size, and shape, enable easy application. However, you may also use ordinary lip brushes as concealer brushes, cos they are suitable for applying creamy cosmetics.
