Tips on getting a flawless face

Moisturize before putting on your  foundation.

• You want to apply foundation on freshly moisturized skin because applying foundation on dry skin can look flakey . A moisturizer will help the foundation blend & sit on the skin better!

Primer.

• Apply the primer after you  moisturizer and before foundation. A primer glides over your skin, pores, acne, etc creating a barrier between your skin and your makeup. A primer acts a second skin by smoothing over any imperfections to make your skin look more smooth and even. Smoothing primers like Benefit Porefessional, Tarte Clean Slate Poreless, Too Faced Primed and Poreless, MAC Prep & Prime Skin Base, Loreal Studio Secrets Professional Base, ELF’s Mineral Primer or Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Primer Skin Transformer will all have smoothing, perfecting effects. 

Translucent powder.

• Translucent powder is a super silky white powder that applies clear/translucent all over your face after your pressed powder or after foundation. Any skin shade can use it. It not only helps keep your foundation on longer and controls oils but also has “blurring” effects and almost airbrushes your face because the powder is so finely milled. MAC, Makeup Forever, Tarte & ELF all make great translucent powders.

Exfoliating your skin.

• Using a face scrub or an exfoliating product once to twice a week will make your skin smooth and even ready for makeup application.

Don’t look too matte!

• Use a highlighter on your cheekbones or a setting spray to take away any powdery look. A super matte, powdery look can accentuate pores and dry patches and look too fake/cakey because no one’s skin looks like powder. If youre an oily skin person, don’t over do it & apply a light layer. Translucent powder is best because it looks more  natural and flawless but still helps control shine.

The right foundation brush.

• My personal favorite brush to achieve a flawless face is a flat top foundation brush. It really buffs & blends the foundation into your skin instead of the foundation just sitting ontop your skin skin. ELF foundation brush is what I use.
