skin prep & prime
this is probably the most important step in a makeup routine, if you dont prep your skin well your makeup wont look good
i use the petroleum jelly vaseline as one of my primers, i take a very small amount, pea size, and i rub it into my skin. it helps to one keep my skin moisturized, two create a smooth base for my makeup, and three helps my makeup not crack or look ca...
Vaseline
This is going to help glue your base products together, it makes sure your makeup will last all day. press this into your skin after the vaseline.
Face Glue Gripping Makeup Primer
use this AFTER the NYX primer, its also a gripping primer so it'll help keep your makeup on your face and not sliding around.
Power Grip Primer + 4% Niacinamide
put this on after both of the gripping primers, this will help smooth out the look of any pores. this or the elf putty primer works.
Baby Skin® Instant Pore Eraser® Primer
I have super sensitive skin and this dosent irritate it, helps leave a clean base to start my makeup on.
Oil-Free Acne Wash Cream Cleanser
my base routine
I take this foundation and I first before I do this after I do my prep in my prime I do my eyebrows while I'm waiting for my primer to get tacky, after I do my browse, I either use a brown pencil or a pomade, I take my normal foundation shade in this...
Infallible 32 Hour Lightweight Fresh Wear Foundation
Use this or the ELF hydrating concealer to carve the bottom of your brows, to conceal under your eyes, and to brighten. let sit for a couple mins (preferably until dry) before blending out, use a DAMP beauty blender(use water or setting spay to dampe...
HD Pro.Conceal
use this to contour your face, find out what your fae shape is and go according to that. this is a warmer "contour" so i use it as a bronzer, this will help add color and "life" back into your face after foundation and concealer.
MegaGlo Dual-Ended Contour Stick | Light/Medium
i use this lipstick in a berry shade as blush, be very light handed with a darker color (if you have a lighter complexion).
Urban Decay Vice Lipstick. 100% Vegan lipstick has never felt so good.
use this to set your entire face, i also use other powders that i will link as well, bake under your eyes, under your bronzer/contour, above your upper lip, your chin, and smile lines. then get your powder bronzer and blush and apply them right ontop...
Photo Focus Loose Setting Powder | Translucent
One of the setting powders i really like.
Ultimate Blurring Setting Powder | ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr
this blurrs your pores so much and looks like the beauty filter in real life, such a good powder.
PUFF PUFF PASS SET & BAKE POWDER - 03 Translucent
use this ontop of your cream/liquid blush, very long lasting product
Baked Blush
i use this ontop of where i put my blush, on my nose and my eyebrows
Extra Dimension Skinfinish Highlighter
THIS is what makes my base waterproof, cry proof, sweat proof. this is the true #1 powder in my collection.
Powder
absolutely drench your face in this, this is going to melt all that powder you used together, which will make this smooth base.
Facestudio® Lasting Fix Makeup Setting Spray, Matte Finish
use this after the maybelline one, this helps to mattify your base, and it helps with the longevity as well
STAGE PROOF MATTE SETTING SPRAY
this is the true MVP of the routine, this does feel and smell like hairspray, but this truly makes your base transfer-proof. like ive hugged people and no makeup would come off, ive swam with a full face one(even gone underwater) and once it dried it...
Infallible 3-Second Setting Mist With Microfine, up to 36H wear
this is also a great setting spray, it dosent help with the longevity or mattifying by itself, but when you use it with another setting spray it works very well!
