How To: A Flawless Makeup Routine
Prep Your Skin!!!
Skin care is always your bestie when it comes to creating a smooth base for your makeup to come. People ask me all the time when it comes to my own makeup, and even applying makeup on clients how I create such transparent glowing skin. It’s no secret I promise! I make it a habit by at least involving a smoothing toner, a serum to protect, and a moisturizer to hydrate. That trio alone will give you a smooth canvas for your makeup to come.
Add those 3 steps to your routine right before your makeup application and you will start to notice the difference.
Choosing the Right Foundation
I personally love build-able coverage foundations because depending on the day, I never know what kind of coverage my face needs. A skin like foundation always works best for me because even with a full face of glam, it still looks like my skin. I can’t always get that look with full coverage foundations.
Your foundation color is always based on preference. I’ve learned this over the years working with different types of clients and different skin needs who not always want their foundation the same color as their skin. My personal preference is something that is spot on to my complexion that melts into my skin. Almost making it hard to detect that there is even makeup there. It’s hard to find colors like this especially being a woman of color.
That is why Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk is my go to, especially during the cooler months. It compliments my complexion so well and the finish is just absolutely flawless!
