Beauty Basics: Foundation Application

Hey beauties. Hope we are all having a good week so far? 


This post is on a new series called "Beauty Basics" and I hope to have a few episodes (posts) on this series to cover all your basic beauty needs.
First on the series is Foundation application and I will show you how to achieve an everyday flawless look. 


What you need:

1. a face primer
2. your foundation of choice
3. a concealer or two
4. setting powder
5. foundation brush
6. a mirror

Before we get into the pictorial, let's have a mini chat about foundation brushes. The best tool for applying your foundation are your hands but when you don't want to get those manicured fingers dirty then brushes are the next best thing. The three different brushes that I use for foundation application are:

from L-R: No7 dome-shaped foundation brush, Sigma large duo fibre brush (F50) and Elf face powder brush.  






step 1:Cleanse, moisturise and apply your face primer. 

step 2: dot your foundation all over your face.

step 3: blend, blend, blend and then blend some more using your chosen foundation brush (I used No7 foundation brush today).

step 4: cover any blemish using your concealer and set your foundation using your face powder.

step 5: finally apply your blush, contour, mascara, lip colour and you are DONE.

What I used:

Primer: Milk of Magnesia and MAC's Fix+

Foundation: Avon Ideal Flawless Invisible Coverage Foundation "Sable"

Concealer: Fashion Fair Concealer Trio and MAC Select Cover up "NC45"

Face Powder: Mary Kay Mineral Powder Foundation 

Eyes: Maybelline One by One Volume Express mascara

Lips: MAC "chestnut" lip pencil & Sleek "coral reef" lipstick

PS: hope u didn't laugh at my head gear in the first four pics. hahahaha

PPS: always blend your foundation and powder into your hair line and down your chin and neck to avoid looking like boo-boo the fool.

PPPS: and please use a mirror when doing your makeup unless you want to look like boo-boo the fool....

Hope this has helped someone? If you'll like for me to include anything in the "Beauty Basics" series then let me know.
