I want to start giving everyone my tips of the day. Make-up is an amazing thing that we all use but if you dont know how to use it properly then there is no point to even use it.
Dry skin: You need to make sure you prep your skin with a great moisturizer! Then you need to add your primer of choice! Very important!!
All other skin types: Prep your skin with your oil free moisturizer then add a primer...silicone based is the best for you! Laura Mercie and Oil Free Bare Minerals primer is the best!
Once you have prepared your skin you need to know that foundation is not to cover or hide imperfections! It is only there to EVEN out your skin tone!!! DO NOT CAKE FOUNDATION! That is what concealer and/or color correctors are for!
My next blog will cover those two products.
You always always always put your foundation on BEFORE your concealers and/or color correctors!! This is very very important!!!
Any great make-up artist will let you know that all you will do is wipe off the concealer or corrector with your foundation! This goes for wet or dry foundation!! If you use a wet foundation you use a wet concealer...if you use a dry foundation you need a dry concealer!
It is so very important to know you SKIN TYPE and UNDERTONES! You can not select any product until you are 100% sure what they are! No matter what your skin tone is...lightest to darkest we all have an undertone...MOST OF US have more than one undertone!!!
If you do not know it is really easy to figure out! There are three basic undertones... red/pink yellow/orange olive/green these are the colors that you have to figure out UNDER your skin, hence UNDERTONE, and then choose your foundation color to even it out!!!
Your foundation ALWAYS needs to match your NECK!!!! Do NOT let anyone tell you different!
If anyone has any questions feel free to ask, I just want to cover basics with you.
Until tomorrow!
