Skin Prep
Base
Apply these product in order of:
1. Foundation
2. Cream Bronzer - Apply according to face shape:
- Just in the middle of your cheekbones
- Throughout the border of your hairline
- Jawline (I don't but do it if you want that snatched look, but be care we don't want skidmarks!!)
- Contour your nose according to it's shape.
3. Blush
- Apply according to your face shape and the look you're going for
Tip: When we smile our cheekbones and cheeks lift up!
- Applying it in a circular shape to the mid-lower park of your cheekbones will give you a fuller look
- Applying it at a 45 degree angle of your cheekbones will give you a more snatched and lifted look
4. Concealer
- With an angled brush apply a bit of setting spray to your underyes to set a more tacky canvas for your concealer and wait for it to be fully dry
- With your concealer brush, apply a bit of the product onto the brush and lightly dab around the undereye area
- With a concealer that is a shade or two lighter, apply it to the corner of your eyes and let it sit
Tip: Apply the concealer near the blush so it's blended in seamlessly rather than seeing a clear separation of where your concealer and blush is placed
Tip - Apply your lighter concealer in areas of your face where the light usually hits, this is usually two finger spaces above your brows in the middle of your forehead, a small line just on the bridge of your nose, the tip of your nose, and the side...
- Apply setting spray all over your face and let it fully dry
- Once your face is dry, then you can start blending out all of your concealer!
Also great for this routine as it's medium coverage but easily buildable to full.
Another medium coverage that can easily be built to full coverage.
I would honestly say it's a dupe for the Mario Cream Bronzer 🤫🤭
Tip: If you're using a stick bronzer dub your brush onto the product and THEN start applying it to avoid patchiness or your layer of foundation peeling!
I used these blushes for the longest time and they never did me dirty! Many fun shades to play around with and so affordable 🙌🏼
This blush suits so many skin tones (maybe not all that's why I said so many!), and gives a deep toasted rose that's almost a cross between a blush and bronzer 🌹
Works amazing with my undereyes even if they're more dry
More medium coverage but can definitely build it up and SO affordable!!!
I use this to highlight right below the inner corners of my eyes and on the highlights of my face.
Such a creamy and blendable formula that is amazing for the dry skin girlies 🫱🏽🫲🏾
This is my holy grail and only used on like once a year occasions (I'm broke) 🤣
The coverage on this is insane and you don't need much!!! A very smooth texture and easy to blend, if you can splurge on any of the products on this list, IT'S THIS ONE‼️
Powders and Setting
Apply in this order:
Power/Baking: - Take a tad bit of baking powder and rub it on the back of your hand to ensure the areas where we will apply iy get an even amount of powder (avoids patchiness!) - Gently apply it wherever we placed our concealer (read step 4 again), o...
- Gently dab then swipe off any excess powder with a powder brush
- Use a melting spray to let that powder melt into your cream products and let it fully dry
- Use a setting spray to lock it all in!
Use this one in between steps for your base to maximise endurance of your makeup throughout the day and use it right at the very end after your melting spray!
I used this when I first started wearing makeup and years later I still do!
Leaves your face matte while not making the makeup feel like it's sitting heavy on your skin 😍
Sucha good affordable option and I usually use this one right at the end to lock my makeup in place!
Loved by many, use this setting spray to not just melt in your powders but to fully set!
This one leaves a tad glow but still lets that matte look be the star 🌟
Definitely more for makeup artists but girl if you got SHMONEYYYY GET THIS!!
Don't hesitate and go on that swimming date 😌 you will not be caught all because you used this setting spray! Definitely only use right at the end to lock in makeup as the fragrance is very strong.
The first setting powder I used and used it for yearssss
This setting powder has no notes because it does exactly what it needs to do and is a great affordable option! 😜
Also has an array of shades!
This is my current setting powder I use and she has not let me down 😫
Their powders also have such a good scent and my mans always sniffing me when I have this on 😝
Lips
I've used this since I started wearing makeup and if it ain't broke don't fix it 🤷🏻♀️
It lasts for sooo long and has a bunch of shades to choose from! An awesome affordable choice as well 😌
Definitely if you got a bit more to spend but I'd say definitely worth it ✅
1. Affordable
2. Great to put on before layering and diffusing a lip liner on top!
It's a great option for those who maybe don't like the lip lining look and don't want to feel like they have product on their lips all day!
I always use this whether I got product on my lips or not!
Leaves my lips feeling hydrated throughout the day with a gorjussss shine and doesn't have that grainy texture like other peptide treatments 👀
