This should be careful as a vital step for a smooth and air brushed look! A primer’s job is to create a perfect canvas for foundation application. It also helps minimize the appearance of fine lines and pores while leaving your skin velvety smooth and help keeps your foundation in place longer.

1. Preparing your face

After washing your face, moisturizer! I am not very fuzzy about choosing a moisturizer so always use Olay completes with SPF 15. Don’t rush when you do your foundation so let your moisturizer soak in

2. Concealer

The key when creating a perfect make up is to make it look flawless so those imperfection gotta disappear! This is when the concealer comes in! I used 2 different concealers; a concealer for under eyes and concealer for blemishes, the difference between these 2 is that the blemish concealer contains salicylic acid. Be careful not too apply too much of concealer because this will only emphasize your flaws so make sure you apply a thin layer. Then attack those blemishes with the blemish concealer.

3. Foundation

If possible with your fingers, begin at your forehead then go down to your nose, cheeks, under your nose, chin. Make sure you blend it well to your hairline and make sure you blend, blend and blend so it doesn’t look too obvious.

4. Highlight, Contour & blush

This can be optional but I prefer doing it because it makes your face have a breadth and not a flat look. With a bronzer or a contour powder, apply with a brush, under your cheekbone, under your jaw line and chin and side of your nose. Make sure you blend well if you don’t want have too dark areas, look overdone and harsh.

5. Set your foundation

Set your makeup with a translucent powder! Tap a large fluffy brush into a translucent powder and apply all over your face!
