Master the Basics Day 1: All Day Flawless Finish

Getting an all-day flawless finish
Every woman wants a long lasting flawless finish throughout the day and guess what you can! All you need is the basics, liquid foundation, foundation powder, concealer, and blending brushes/or powder puff.A light even dusting of loose powder sets foundation and concealer, giving your face a velvety, more natural finish. It also provides smooth blending for any eye makeup. It is a common mistake but women put foundation on before eye makeup. You want to apply all eye shadows before foundation this way if powder falls under your eyes on any where on your face you can clean it up easier. It is inevitable! Powder will fall in other places on your face, be prepared. 


1. Use your liquid foundation all over your face after you have cleaned up any excess makeup that has fallen.

2.Dip a puff or powder brush in loose powder. Shake off excess to avoid uneven distribution, then apply powder over entire face and neck. This will set the foundation and give you a more even look.
 

3. To maintain a flawless finish throughout the day, apply pressed powder using a sponge or clean powder brush.
  
Tips: 
  • Face powder can be used alone, over foundation or over your moisturizer for a natural, sheer, no-shine look.

  •  For the closest color match, choose a powder shade that is 3 shades lighter than your foundation.

  •  If you are over the age of 30, avoid powdering under the eyes as it can make fine lines and wrinkles appear more obvious.

  • Facial oil-blotting sheets help to remove excess oil and shine without disturbing your makeup. Carry them with you everywhere you go! These are an easy find and not expensive at all.
