Get Great Coverage with 3D Foundation

Are you tired of putting your foundation on each day just to look ok? You put that time in and invest in the products and you still feel mediocre? Or you feel like your foundation is too heavy or too thick or not enough or too blah? Does it make you look lifeless? Yup….most foundations do that! We’re using one color to cover up that beautiful face of yours! No more! Enter 3D foundation. It’s the new lifechanging (and we don’t say that lightly!) foundation that will transform your face, give you the great coverage, add that femininity, and enhance your natural beauty. Here’s how!

What is 3D Foundation?

Ok, what is this stuff we’re talking about?? You know when you go to a beauty store and they have rows and rows of foundation colors. From liquid to cream to powder. The options are endless. But what’s not cool about those options are that they all have one thing in common. They all put one color on your entire face and cover up your beauty! Sure, you might actually want that great coverage. But do you really want to only have one color on your face? It makes you look lifeless. It diminishes your natural shapes and shadows. And it’s not flattering. Sorry, someone had to say it.

But with 3D foundation, you are creating shape and shadows and dimension on your face. You are bringing life back into it and enhancing your beautiful features. This foundation includes your highlight color (which is your skin’s color), contour (to give you the shadows), blush (to give you that natural flush), and illuminator (to give you that pretty glow).

How to Use 3D Foundation?

Now, how do you ues this stuff?? All foundations are applied on the entire face to even out your skin tone and give you great coverage. But with 3D foundation, each foundation single is your foundation but it’s just in different colors. You apply the highlight, contour, blush, and illuminator just where you need it. You don’t apply layer over layer. You apply your highlight on your forehead, nose, chin, under your eyes, and jawline. You apply your contour under your cheekbones, under your jawline, and on your hairline. You apply your blush on the apples of your cheeks. You apply your illuminator on the top of your cheekbones. And once you’re done, your entire face has great coverage but also has shape and dimension. You just created a masterpiece!

Each foundation single comes in an individual tin. You put them in a customized compact and replace as needed! The best way to apply the cream foundation is with a great makeup brush. You can find our favorite brushes HERE!

How to Pick Your 3D Foundation Colors?

Doesn’t that sound beautiful? Doesn’t that sound much better than a flat face of foundation?? We want that femininity and we’re thinking you do too! But how do you go about picking your colors? How do you know what will complement your skin tones? That’s what we’re here to help you do!

Cream Illuminator Versus Powder Illuminator

Every woman needs a little illuminator in her life to help her glow, to help her glisten! There are lots of options out there, but what the difference between cream illuminator versus powder illuminator? Well, we’ll tell ya!

What is Illuminator?

First off, what is illuminator?? Illuminator is a makeup product that “illuminates” your face. It helps it glow and glisten, but in a youthful & subtle way. Not in a little girl sparkle kind of way. Illuminator will help your skin shine just right when the sun hits your face. It’s the perfect touch to add to you face for some femininity.

Cream Illuminator

There are 2 kinds of illuminator, cream and powder. With cream illuminator, you get a more subtle natural glow. It’s easiest to apply with your fingers so you can apply it exactly where you want and rub it into the skin just right.

Powder Illuminator

Powder illuminator creates more of a pop! It shows up on your face better because it sits on the skin. It’s best if you apply it with a brush. The Best Blend Forever Brush is our fave!! If you have oily skin, a powder illuminator is the better way to go for you. But anyone can wear either cream or powder. It’s just a matter of preference and the look you’re going for!

Where to Apply Illuminator

Now that you know the difference between the two kinds of illuminators, where should you apply it?? You want to bring light and brightness to your face. So apply it on top of your cheekbones, just below your brows, on the bow your lip, and even on the fullest part of your lip! You can even wear illuminator as eyeshadow! There are so many options! And each way will add a pretty glow to your face.

There are lots of different shades of illuminators…all of them are subtle and pretty. So it’s up to you which you prefer! Our personal faves are Pearl & Angel Cream Illuminators and Photoshop Powder Illuminator! You can shop them all HERE!
