So to follow up from my skincare routine, I thought I'd share with you my secrets to achieving a flawless face! I'm just going to go through a few simple steps and share some tips and tricks that I use when I'm going for a full coverage, airbrushed finish. I hope you learn something new and also, feel free to switch around the products and use whatever you already own!
Step One : Moisturise
I like to apply a really thin layer of moisturiser to my clean skin before I start to apply any make up. This Cetaphil one is really gentle and doesn't leave a greasy residue after it's absorbed. This just helps to wake up the skin and makes the foundation go on more smoothly.
Step Two : Prime
I always use a primer whether I'm going on a night out or just having a no-makeup make up day! I like to use a pore minimising one around my nose.. I've been loving the L'Oreal YouthCode Pore Vanisher recently. I then use a regular primer over the rest of my face. I'm obsessed with the Hourglass Mineral Veil but the MAC Prep + Prime one is a lovely alternative. A primer just fills in any fine lines and creates an even, smooth base.
Step Three : Foundation
More often than not, I like to go for a medium coverage foundation. I don't have any acne but I do have some redness on my jaw line and above my eyebrows, funnily enough! I always choose a foundation that matches my neck and one with a yellow undertone. The most important thing when choosing a foundation is to make sure it has the right undertone for your skin.. I can't stress that enough!! The easiest way to find out is to go to your nearest make up counter and get a professionals advice :)
I hope you've enjoyed this and look out for my concealer and powder post in the next few days!
Thanks so much for reading :)
