Beauty tip #4 Long Lasting Foundation


Does your foundation fade throughout the day??  Want it to last longer and still look fresh?? Use a face primer! They are life savers!!! There are so many out there and cheap too! My favorite face primer is Samshbox Photo Finish. Smashbox has so many different primers depending on what type of skin you have, if you've got acne or blemishes, or if you just want a smooth clean look. Ill post some pictures below on their different types. Ok, here are the steps!
  1. First, make sure you wash your face! It's always much better when you start with a fresh clean face.
  2. Remember... Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize!
  3. Let your moisturizer set before you apply your primer.
  4. Apply your favorite primer all over your face. Its up to you if you want to put it over your eyelids. I do :)
  5. Now here you could either apply your concealer or foundation. Some like applying concealer before foundation and others like applying concealer after foundation. It's really up to you. Sometimes you could even do both before and after depending on the look you are going for. I like to apply concealer after my foundation. 
  6. Now you could set your foundation. There's many different setting powders out there. I like using a translucent one so it doesn't make me lighter or darker.
Now if you're a more natural kinda girl, just mix some of your foundation with your moisturizer. Mix as much as you'd like. It's up to you how natural you want it to look. Ok ladies, hope this helped. Any questions, ask away!! Stay beautiful!!

Here are some of the different Smashbox primers:

My favorite!!

Out of these 3, I like the green one better. It covers any red spots you've got.
