~My Spring/Summer Fresh and Flawless Foundation Routine~

(This is NOT my every day foundation routine. On most days, I'm in my sweats and wearing a tinted moisturizer).

**For any of you with questions about my skin care routine, that is a whole other post that I will do in the near future!

This may seem like a lot of products, but, when I want my skin to have that natural looking fuller coverage, these are the products I use.

(FOUNDATION PRIMER)

My skin goes in waves, sometimes it's oily and sometimes it's super dry and flaky. Right now, it's been very dry, so I have to mix two primers to get it just right. I've been loving the combination of Bare Minerals Prime Time Primer (super moisturizing) and Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer (oil-free and spf 15) which helps my foundation stay on for hours. I use my fingers to put a few dabs of each on the center of my face and then I make sure it's all evenly applied.

(NOW THE FOUNDATIONS)

For a natural looking finish, I use Mac Face and Body foundation (shade C2) + Mac Studio Sculpt foundation (shade NW20). I like to mix both because one is more moisturizing and the other is more matte and fuller coverage. I love my Sigma F80 brush to buff on the foundations for a perfect finish.

 (SPOT CONCEALER) **I use this ONLY if I have some acne spots or for those days when I have more redness around my nose and chin area. 

I really love MAC Studio Finish Concealer and I'm in the shade NW20. I use a concealer brush to help me be precise and I use a very tiny amount, because it is a thicker formula.

(UNDER EYE CONCEALER)

My under eye area is extremely dry all year round, so to help moisturize and cover my dark circles, I use the MAC Select Moisturecover Concealer (shade NW20). The formula is super light and creamy and I like how it covers but doesn't make my under eye area dry and crepey.

(SETTING MY CONCEALER)

To set my under eye concealer, I use the Laura Mercier Secret Brightning Powder. I don't like to set undereye concealer with a typical powder because it can make for a cakey effect. I use a fluffy blending type brush and sweep a very light amount under the eyes.

(SETTING POWDER)

I use my MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural (in medium) as my finishing powder. I make sure to dust it on VERY lightly because I still like to see my skin. This powder leaves a very natural finish, and I use it with my big fluffy brush from real techniques.
