Ace the base!

I’m determined to getting you all to use/find the right foundation. It took me years to perfect my foundation. The issues I was having were:

a.) the color didn’t match
b.) the foundation changed colors
c.) it would look shiny
d.) wasn’t suitable for my skintype

After several useless buys and being conned by the saleswomen, I can say i’ve found the right products for my skin.

-Always exfoliate your face, it gets rid of any flakes and dry skin and makes foundation go on smoother.

• Always moisturize your face, this helps the foundation look more natural..keeps your skin moisturized and makes blending easier.

• Use either a primer or a mattifying balm, keeps the foundation in-place for longer.

Here are the products that work for me:

Concealer is essential to cover-up all your blemishes, dark circles and uneven skin. Concealer can go on under your foundation or over your foundation depending on the coverage that u require. I find that by using a concealer brush, the makeup blends better and looks more natural.

Foundation should look natural, it should match and blend-in with your skin-color. Blend foundation down your neck too. I like the MAC 190 brush for my foundation, I dot tiny amounts all over my face and stroke my brush in downwards and outward strokes.

I set the foundation with either MAC or Clinique’s loose powder. Notice that I don’t use products from the same range. If you blv another brand is a better match, use it.. you don’t have to use a concealer, foundation. powder all from the same brand.

For the pressed powder I use a smaller Clinique brush..and for the loose powder a larger one. Loose powders soak-up all the excess oil/sebum from your face and leaves you with a smoother finish.

This week we’re ALL going to master the art of foundation…come hail come storm! Post here all your foundation, concealer and powder queries. And all of you that have already mastered your base, post step-by-step pictures and help fellow guppans out.
