5 Tips for Flawless Foundation

  We all want that beautiful natural makeup finish right? We want our makeup to blend into our skin and look flawless! Here are 5 tips for flawless foundation that you can use to get that confidence in the way that you look!  

3 Daily Skincare Essentials

The most important part of a great makeup application is a great skincare routine! There are lots of products and routines out there, but the most important thing is to stick to the 3 daily skincare essentials…cleanse, tone, and moisturize DAILY! If you commit to doing these 3 simple skincare steps daily, your skin will feel and look so much better! If you need help knowing what skincare products will work best for your skin, take this quick skincare analysis to get some guidance.  

Exfoliate

Along with the daily essential skincare steps, it’s important to incorporate exfoliating into your routine once or twice a week. Using an exfoliator helps slough off dead skin cells, circulates blood flow, and gives your skin a nice smooth finish. Trust me, you will LOVE the difference this makes in the appearance of your skin! With a smooth surface, makeup will apply and blend so much better! Your skin will literally glow!  

Shave Your Face

Ok…before you think I’m totally crazy, hear me out! Shaving your face is not just for men. And no, shaving your face will not make your facial hair grow back thicker or daker. For real. It’s just a myth! Women have been shaving their faces for generations and it makes a big difference in their skincare and makeup routine. We all have peach fuzz. Some more than others. And that’s normal! But that pesky peach fuzz can get in the way of a great makeup application. Commit to shaving your face with a simple facial razor a few times a month and you’ll love the way your skin feels and looks. When you have a smooth and hair-free surface, your makeup applies and blends so much better! Trust me on this….

Hydrate! Hydrate! Hydrate!

Just like our bodies need water to stay hydrated, our skin needs moisturizer to stay happy and healthy. If you have oily skin, you may be thinking that you can skip this step. WRONG! If you don’t give your skin the hydration it needs, it will over compensate for the lack of moisture and produce more oil. And that’s not good! When it comes to hydrating your face, moisturize your entire face and neck, as well as your eyes. Your under eyes are the most delicate part on your face and they need extra TLC. If you don’t keep them moisturized, fine lines and wrinkles will appear even more. This eye cream is one of my very favorites! Here are some great moisturizer options: Seint Creme Rodan + Fields REDEFINE Restorative Cream Rodan + Fields SOOTHE Moisturizing Rescue Cream  

Use Cream Makeup

If you truly want a flawless foundation, then you’ve got to make the switch to cream makeup. Powder creases and liquid foundation sits heavy on your skin’s surface. But cream makeup blends like a dream and gives you such a nice natural finish! Cream makeup heats up with your skin’s warmth so it blends very nicely into your skin. Cream foundation works well on any skin color, type, and age but it especially does well on mature skin. Mature skin has more fine lines and wrinkles and cream makeup literally melts into your face.
