I first wanted to say thank you all for so much positive feed back already! You guys have given me great ideas for posts. So today I am going to do the most highly request post so far and that's a makeup routine. I did not include my eyes or anything in this tutorial I am just going to go over what I do for my face routine. I hope this helps those of you with questions on what makeup goes where.. I know it can be super confusing at times!
Before I started anything I cleaned my face with my Clarisonic and moisturized.
The first step is to prime. Today I used the Smashbox Pore Minimizing Photo Finish Primer..
I had some imperfections so next I covered them up with Maybelline Fit Me concealer in light..
Then I apply foundation using my flat top kabuki brush I applied my Smashbox Photo Filter creamy powder foundation in shade 4.. (sorry I look mad?! haha)
After that, I apply my concealer again on all the high points of my face that I want to highlight including my forehead, under my eyes, down the bridge of my nose, my cupids bow, and my chin. I blended using a damp Beauty Blender or just use your finger..
Always remember if you apply any cream or liquid to your face make sure to set it with a powder. So, my next step is to set my concealer using the Makeup Forever HD powder..
After that, I bronzed my face (DO NOT apply where you just highlighted!!) using the bronzing shade in my BH Cosmetics Forever Nude Sculpt and Glow pallet..
Next I contoured my face using the contour powder in the same BH pallet. I like a more natural contour.. I lightly apply the powder in the hollows of my cheeks, my temples and top of my forehead..
Almost done guys! On the apples of my cheeks I applied some blush. I used Smashbox Rosy..
And last but not least, I highlighted the tops of my cheek bones with my Hard Candy baked bronzer in Tiki..
This is a up close of the final look..
And Hayleigh got excited I gave her a blush brush so she wanted a picture..
Thank you all so much for reading! I hope this was helpful to those of you with questions.. Let me know if you all have anymore questions or more post suggestions!!

Do you have any suggestions for a 50 year old with less product? With a face this old I don't want to use a lot of different stuff.
ReplyDeleteIf you want to use less product it is not necessary to contour and highlight. I would recommend still using a primer to even out the skin. Good question mom (:
