SKIN PREP
I always start with clean, hydrated skin. A good moisturizer and primer make a huge difference in how makeup sits on the skin.
I love this brand. I discovered few years ago and it fits perfectly for my skin. After I completed accutane my skin tends to be dry, in order to do a perfect make up I need to really hydrate my skin. You can either use the essence or the face cream. ...
MIZON Snail Repair Intensive Essence
I lost count how many times I already purchase this products. After the face cream I go with a primer to blur pores and even out my skin texture. This step makes a huge difference in how long my makeup lasts and how smooth the finish looks.

BASE
Instead of heavy foundation, I prefer a lightweight base like a tinted moisturizer or skin tint. I apply it with a sponge or brush for an even, natural finish. Personally before I even apply the skin tint I need to add some color correction.
I use a redness corrector to even out any redness. The MAKE UP FOR EVER one blends really seamlessly into the skin and helps neutralise tones without feeling heavy or cakey. It makes my base look much more even from the start. I know it can be pricey...
Step 1 Primer Redness Corrector - Primer MAKE UP FOR EVER
For my base, I switch between a lightweight skin tint depending on the day. The bareMinerals skin tint gives a really natural, skin like finish that still looks fresh and breathable. Plus it has spf in.

Another amazing skin tint is this one from Maybelline. It is very light but if you want more coverage you can build it up.

SCULPT
I like to apply cream products first and then touch up with dry products.
I use the Charlotte Tilbury contour wand to softly sculpt my face and add natural definition. The formula blends really easily, so it never looks harsh, just a subtle shadow that enhances my cheekbones and jawline. I like how it gives that lifted, sn...

For blush, I go in with the Rare Beauty liquid blush for a fresh, healthy flush. A little goes a long way, and it blends beautifully into both skin tint and foundation. I usually tap it onto my cheeks and blend it out with a sponge or brush for that ...
Soft Pinch Liquid Blush - Rare Beauty
I use Physicians Formula bronzer to warm up my complexion and bring back dimension. It gives a soft sun kissed effect without looking orange or muddy. I lightly apply it to my forehead, cheeks, and jawline for an easy, everyday glow. This brand is a ...
Bronzer - Physician's Formula
I layer it with my liquid blush for extra glow and dimension.

EYES AND EYEBROWS
I keep brows natural just filling in sparse areas and brushing them up. For eyes, I usually stick to a simple wash of neutral tones or just mascara for an open, awake look.
For my brows, I keep things natural but defined. I go with Glossier Boy Brow to add a soft tint, volume, and that fluffy, brushed up look.

I set everything in place with NYX Control Freak eyebrow gel to make sure my brows stay lifted and neat all day without feeling stiff or crunchy.

LIPS
I go for a lip liner close to my natural lip shade and finish with a tinted gloss or balm.
I usually keep it simple and hydrating. The Rhode gloss is one of my staple, it gives a soft wash of color with a juicy, plumped finish.

This setting spray is a true discovery. I think it works very good and the price is worth it.
