Faking Flawless

Perfect foundation
Cheap make-up finds :)

Maybelline's new FIT make-up foundation and concealer ROCKS!!!!!
It's even got spf 18!!! (gotta fight those wrinkles baby)
This light, sheer foundation evens out your complexion without that greasy, caked-on feeling that SO many foundations (yes even expensive ones) can leave you with!
Best part is........it's under $7 Niiice :)

Tips for a "perfect" complexion

1st...always start by using a good moisterizer with an spf of at least 15.

2nd...smooth on foundation with a sponge or your fingertips all-over your face, taking care to blend, blend, blend along the hair and jaw line.


Tip...ALWAYS use concealer on top of foundation, otherwise you will wipe off the concealer and then what's the point ha ha

3rd... dab on concealer
and pat, pat, pat with your fingertip (you arn't trying to rub make-up in here, the trick is to have the make-up sitting on top of skin to hide imperfections)

Concentrate on area around nostrals where women tend to get red, under eye cirles, blimishes, and any area's of discoloration (eeee my upper lip ha ha)

Under eye circle trick.....rest chin on chest and look up into the mirror as you are applying and tap, tap, tapping..doing it this way really makes the circles show up (not pretty ha ha ha but trust me it looks better in the end)

4th...dust on a loose powder with a big, soft brush. Blending lightly in a circular motion....if you use a puff then pat powder on don't wipe across face ruining foundation and concealer application.
5th...after applying powder i very, very gently roll a q-tip under the eye to remove any excess make-up caked into the creases (nothing with age you more than make-up showing in your creases eeeek)

Now your face is "flawless" and gorgeous and ready to apply your eyes, lips, and radient glow

next up........cheap trick radient glow :)

much love & more to come,
Jenny
