The perfect necessary foundation application.



Hola Chicas!


Okay I cant stress this enough, I am tired of coming across females with foundation applied on and you can clearly see that her real skin tone is 3 shades up from her foundation shade.


Listen up Ladies. The key to the art of Makeup is B-L-E-N-D-I-N-G.
Makeup is art and Art takes patience SO blend till your wrists falls off haha.


So heres a quick tip on how to apply on your foundation perfectly:


Applying foundation with your fingers or a brush will create a little heavier application. If you want a lighter look use a non-latex makeup sponge. 

Blend your application on with "sweeping" motions, use a "stippling" motion in areas that need a little more coverage.

Focus on the center of your face where, we, most women have uneven areas, such as around the eyes, nose and mouth.

Finish with a light application of highlighter down the center of your nose, the top of your cheek bones and across your forehead!



Try Make Up For Ever HD Invisible cover foundation ($40 @ Sephora)


P.S. If you have oily skin or you hate that oily sheen you have after a few hours after your foundation application. Apply Translucent powder to your T-zone area and chin.




Stay Gawgeous!
