My Favorites for a Flawless Base

featured

I have been waiting for months to do this post! Today I am finally going to share how I achieve a flawless base. Now I am not one to wear pounds of makeup. I love a light to medium coverage and very natural looking face. If you are still a bit confused by the end of reading this post, you can head over to my YouTube channel and watch one of my face routines!

I didn't include these two products in the photo, but I always moisturize my face with the Ambi Even & Clear Daily Moisturizer with SPF 30 and Sweet Almond Oil. I use these every time I cleanse my face, which is usually twice a day. They are great for evening out dark marks on the skin and giving moisture. I prime my face with the Smashbox Photofinish Primer To be very honest, I haven't really noticed a big difference with oil control or pore blurring with this primer. I just use it because it feels nice and glides onto the skin really well. It helps blend my foundation onto my face better.

I am not much of a foundation hoarder, so I have 2 trusty foundations in my stash. My forever favorite Iman BB Cream and the new MAC Pro Longwear Waterproof Foundation. 8 times out of 10 I use the BB cream. It gives me the most natural, dewy, light-medium coverage I love. The MAC foundation is good for going out during hot summer days. It gives a natural matte finish. I apply these with my E.l.f Small Stipple Brush.

Correcting usually comes before applying foundation but it is not something I do everyday. I use the LA Girl Pro Concealer in 'Orange' around my mouth to correct darkness. I do this when going somewhere special or a school event. For Concealing/Highlighting I use the LA Girl Pro Concealer in 'Espresso' under my eyes and in the middle of my forehead. This shade is about 1-2 shades lighter than my skintone, it is a very natural highlight shade that is not too bright. If I am looking for a lighter highlight, I use the shade 'Toast'.

Under my eyes to give a bit more brightness and to set my highlight, I use the Ben Nye Topaz Powder. I use this shade and not the famous "Banana" because it is a much better match for my skintone, it has a red undertone and is dark golden in color. I use a powder puff to pat on the Topaz powder and then brush the excess of with the E.l.f Complexion Brush. For the rest of my face I use the E.l.f Clarifying Pressed Powder or the Black Opal Deluxe Finishing Powder, these give a natural matte finish. I don't have to worry too much about oily-ness because I have dry/normal/combo skin. "I know, it changes by the seasons lol."

I always use a blush. On a day to day basis its 'Peach' by La Femme. Looks light in the pan, but it is amazing on deep skin. Blush helps to add color and dimension to my skin. I use the E.l.f Blush Brush.

Much like blush, I use highlighters every time I wear makeup. I love a highlighter that gives me a glow from within. I use many but my go-to ones are the Wet n' Wild Mega Glo Illuminator in 'Starlight Bronze' and the E.l.f Baked Highlight in 'Blush Gems'. I use the E.l.f Blush Brush for this step as well.

I hope this was helpful to anyone looking for products to perfect their face makeup routine! Any questions please let me know.

Current Products in My Rotation!

blush

I haven't really done a post about this...But today I will! I'm going to show you basically what I keep in my everyday makeup rotation, products that I reach for everyday. I usually chge up my rotation about once a month, or depending on whether I buy new stuff. Now, while I don't wear makeup everyday, school is about to start which means always trying to look your best! I still have a few more products I want to get before school starts, but that's another post!

For my foundation, I use the Maybeline Dream Liquid Mousse Foundation. I like how "fresh" look I get after I use this foundation. It doesn't look unnatural or cakey. It's also really easy to blend out onto my face.

The powder that I ALWAYS reach for would be the E.l.f Clarifying Pressed Powder. I sometimes use this alone, because it gives off a matte, finish to my face. It seems to boost the 'life' that my face gives off. (Strange but True!) It sets my foundation nicely as well. I keep one of these in my locker at school because there are days when I'm stressed, and my face gets oily.

I reach for the E.l.f All Over Cover Stick because it covers up the deep circles under my eyes. I keep the E.l.f Complete Coverage Concealer nearby as well because I can mix up the colors and use it for any problem areas I have that particular day.

For cheeks/highlighting, I use a blush. Most likely the NYX Powder Blush in Mocha. I like the flush of color that it gives my face. I highlight with the Wet & Wild Illuminating Face Powder. I can't use this all over my face simply because it is too shimmery. I use it as a highlighter/bronzer, because it gives me an amazing glow!

I don't really have a particular product for eye makeup that I use everyday. I just reach for anything. But I always use an eyeliner, whether it be liquid like the E.l.f Liquid Eyeliner or a Pencil one like the Wet & Wild Color Icon Pencil. Mascara is also a must, I use the Maybeline Great Lash Mascara in Clear/Transparent. I deem that Clear mascara is way easier to use, and it gives the same results!

For lips I always reach for...ready...VASELINE! It's just something that I've been using since I was a baby, and I will continue to use forever. It such a simple way to stay soft, and moisturized. For a lip color I use my E.l.f Lipstick in Seductive. It gives my lips a simple wash of color. Nothing to crazy!

Those are the products that I reach for everyday! I do change these products up, depending on what I'm feeling. When get new products, depending if I like them, I use them more often and push the older products to the side! I know, its bad, but don't act like you don't get excited over a new goodie!!
