Foundation routine :)

People always ask me how to achieve a flawless skin completion. I will be recording my foundation routine during the week, I personally wear foundation with a heavy coverage as I have problem skin but this technique would easily work for anyone aiming to make their skin look perfected, flawless and airbrushed. 

Firstly it's major important that your skin is clean, I'd advise a facial wash using Luke warm water followed by a splash of cold water to close your pores. Toner will also work to ensure that no make up is clogging up your pores. Use a light moisturiser if you have youthful skin as a heavy moisturiser will create too much of a barrier between your make up and will make it come off easily. Always prime your skin to minimise your pores and make your skin smoother, I'd recommend photo ready by revlon. 

Always ensure your make up brushes are clean to prevent bacteria (see my YouTube channel on how to clean brushes). Apply your foundation only the back of your hand, using a CLEAN foundation brush start with the inner area of your face blending outwards. Apply a darker colour of foundation on the outer corners of your face to define your features. Apply with a dabbing technique to create a full coverage. Use a highlighting pen, illuminating liquid what ever of your choice, place this under your eye in a triangular shape, on your brow bone, length of your nose, cuspids bow, and either side of your lips. Blend this is using a concealer brush. Always contour the highest parts of your face using a matte brown eye shadow or bronzer (see my contouring video for full explanation). Conceal problem areas again in a saddling motion as not to spread the concealer. Let this all set into your skin for a min or two before you apply your loose powder/pressed powder. This will set the foundation and will create a flawless finish. To ensure there are no sharp lines take a shadow brush with some pressed/loose powder and blend the lines between highlighting and contouring. 

I will post a picture showing exactly where to highlight/contour and how important it is to use two foundation colours. Keep posted for this picture and my next video :)
