foundation routine....FINALLY!

I've been slacking a little lately...I apologize. I said I was gonna do a foundation routine a few weeks ago and am finally making myself sit down and do it. There's two different kinds....the everyday and the day off! I work in a Garden Center, outside, and am constantly moving which means sweating my makeup off so I take it easy on the days I work.

Everyday routine

On days that I have to work I usually keep it very very simple. Just enough to cover flaws and even out discoloration. The products I've been using and loving for a very long time are the smashbox photo finish foundation primer, bare minerals matte foundation and stila sun bronzer. Having oily skin, the primer helps lengthen the staying power of my foundation, the powder will soak up any oil but not add any additional shine that can be mistaken for shine but has SPF 15 built in to protect my skin and the bronzer while not shimmery gives me that hint of sun without the damage.

Full makeup days....

The full makeup only adds concealer and a liquid foundation. The foundation I found is the best one I've ever found because it starts out white and matches your skin tone perfectly. I was incredibly skeptical when I purchased this simply because they never truly match and being a drugstore product I couldn't test it out before I bought it. It works so well but it's a little on the pricey end...it's $13 but can be found on sale at ulta!

There's also a concealer from the exact same line that's really nice. Its again a drugsgtore product that is on the less expensive end and is incredibly moisturizing and gives pretty good coverage. 

Primer-concealer-liquid foundation-powder-bronzer and then blush.  It really isn't that much more than the everyday routine but when you throw that liquid on and add in the sun factor it tends to slup throughout the day. Hopefully this helps give you ideas for new products!
