FOUNDATION, CONTOUR & HIGHLIGHT ROUTINE

HI GUYS

Welcome back to my blog! 

Today I thought it would be a good idea to film my foundation, contour and highlight routine so you can see exactly how I apply my face makeup without me skipping through it in a normal video.

Here is the finished look:

So unlike most YouTubers I have watched who have quite a heavy foundation, contour and highlight routine, I wanted to show you how I do my everyday to fully glam routine. This isn't super heavy on your face so it doesn't feel as heavy on your face all day. It's still a great coverage and keeps your skin looking healthy and glowy.

TIPS AND TRICKS

So it's been a while since I've shown you my tips and tricks but here they are...

NUMBER ONE - Moisturising your skin is one of the best things you can do for it so you should ALWAYS moisturise your skin before applying any makeup. (You should also ALWAYS moisturise your skin before you go to bed too so that it has time to recover after a full day of wearing makeup). Moisturising your skin is the best way to achieve a flawless face and leaves your skin thanking you...

    EXTRA TIPS ON MOISTURISING:

    I - If you don't already know your skin type then it is important to find out what skin type you have (Normal, Oily, Combination, Dry, Sensitive etc.) 

    II) Make sure you have the right moisturiser for your skin type. There is absolutely NO POINT in using a moisturiser on oily skin if you have dry skin. The moisturiser you use has been tailored specifically for your skin and what will work best for you so it is important to use the moisturiser that is right for your skin. 

    III) Give yourself plenty of time to apply your moisturiser before your makeup. You will need to wait about 5 minutes after moisturising before you apply your makeup otherwise your makeup could look quite patchy and strange which will leave you with a feeling of wanting to start again...

NUMBER TWO - Use whatever you feel comfortable with when applying your makeup. I have tried plenty of different methods to apply my makeup but I have found that a DAMP sponge is the best way to achieve a flawless finish on my skin. The one I recommend is the Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge which has always left my face looking and feeling amazing. It is great for blending in your foundation with your concealers and colour correction so I would definitely recommend it! It is also very affordable so you don't break the bank like you would if you bought something more high end!

NUMBER THREE - Be patient when blending your powders into each other. No one likes to see harsh lines and obvious mistakes so make sure you don't apply too much to your brush! Applying little by little can get you the right result without looking too orange or pink! 

NUMBER FOUR - Your makeup is what you want it to be so be confident and don't be afraid to make mistakes at first! Everyone does! Just be patient and find what works best for you. You don't have to go out and buy the most expensive thing out there just because everyone else says it works for them. It will take you a while to find what works for you but I can guarantee that there is something out there for everyone and all sorts of combinations you can try that will work best for your skin and give you the perfect finish!
