Foundation Routine

Hello all!

I hope you're having a great day.

This post might be really boring for some of you.

I personally love watching people's foundation routines on YouTube so I can learn new techniques.

My skin is really weird. I wouldn't say it's sensitive, but I break out really irregularly.

I've tried a wide variety of foundations ranging from drugstore to more high end. I know everyone raves about the Make Up Forever HD Foundation and I used that for a while, but I wasn't particularly impressed.

Currently I've been loving a drugstore combination.

L'Oreal Studio Secrets Magic Perfecting Base & L'Oreal Magic Smooth Foundation.

I used this foundation a few years ago and I forgot how much I like it.

Elle, or Allthatglitters21, on YouTube said how she had been loving this combination so I decided to give it a shot. The base is really nice, it feels like more of a lotion and doesn't have a silicone feel like a lot of primers do.

The texture of the foundation is great and it blends flawlessly.

Okay enough talking-- here's my routine.

I wash my face and apply a moisturizer, wait a minute, then apply a small amount of the base all over and wait another minute. Then I apply my foundation starting in the middle and working my way out using a flat foundation brush. Then I build up coverage where ever I need it most.

After that I use my Mac Studio Sculpt Concealer for blemishes and dark circles. I finish it off with Mac Mineralize Skinfinish Natural all over.

Then I contour with NARS Laguna Bronzer and apply blush. Lately I've been using a NYX cream blush.

Now I just want to throw this out there-- I don't wear foundation every day. When I have class I usually go with moisturizer, concealer and the msf.

I hope you enjoyed!

P.S. I started using my tumblr again, it's been ages.
