My Flawless Skin Foundation Routine

After cleansing my skin in the morning this is where I often start my routine for the day.  I’ve been using this Pur Minerals CC Cream in the medium color for almost 2 years.  It’s great on it’s own or as a primer for other foundations.  I simply apply this with my fingers on clean dry skin.

This product has an spf of 40, so it’s great as a multi-tasker.

I know this corrector is expensive, but it is completely worth it.  It also lasts forever so you don’t have to purchase it often.  I like using this to correct the color under my eyes This product is a peachy or salmon shade. The wonderful thing about this product is that it moisturizes the area under eyes while correcting the darkness.  I apply it with the brush that it comes with and blend it out with my finger.

I LOVE this concealer!  It was around for quite a while before I ever purchased it.  I wish I had tried it sooner.  It’s great for under the eyes or anywhere on the face for covering blemishes, redness or dark spots.  This is one I don’t plan to run out of.  My shade is NW 25.  Be sure to get the shade that is right for you.

The Beauty Blender should be everyone’s holy grail foundation applicator.  It’s definitely mine!  I wet the sponge with water and squeeze out the excess.  I apply my foundation with this sponge and roll the product on my skin for perfect application every time.  I also use it for a variety of tasks such as applying cream blush.

I use a wide variety of blushes and bronzers.  When applying this gorgeous cream blush from Make Up For Ever, I use the Beauty Blender sponge.  I prefer to add in cream type products rather than adding layer after layer of powder products.

I use a variety of powders to set my makeup.  Quite often I use my palette from Hourglass with the 3 different Ambient Lighting Powders.  It just sort of blurs everything and makes the skin look flawless.
