Foundation, powder, blush tips...?

Hey everyone. My name's Jessica and my usual makeup routine includes purple eyeshadow, eyeliner (on top lid) and mascara. I'm a Latina with fair skin and dark hair. I need advice on how to use foundation, blush and maybe bronzers. Most foundations make me look too white/un-natural but I really want that flawless face look. Also, my cheeks are already naturally rosey...would it be a bad idea to use blush? what colors/brands would you suggest for me and how would I go about applying? Is there anything else I'm missing?Foundation, powder, blush tips...?
What you'll need to create a flawless face is:


liquid foundation that matches your skin tone


daily moisturizer


bronzer/brush with a brush





mix half of your daily moisturizer with half of your foundation.








Dab the foundation on in areas that look uneven on your face. blend it in with a makeup sponge or your finger.





While it is drying, (your face might feel sticky from the moisturizer) put on your purple eyeliner,eye shadow and mascara.





When finished doing that grab your blush or bronzer and sweep the brush from the apples of your cheeks (the bone in your cheek) all the way to your hair line. Then sweep it down your nose.





Good Brands


Liquid foundation: LOREAL true match super blendable makeup





daily moisturizer: Biore shine control





Blush/bronzer: Any colour from ALMAY that you like :)





This makes my face look very flawless and soft.Foundation, powder, blush tips...?
I am black with fair skin and have the same problem with foundation. I'm using Prescriptives and have no problem with any of their products because they have a good color printing system. Just ask at one of their counters.
For blush, just dont go too dark-how about a soft rose-just a little.





And for bronzer-the same, not too much cause you have fair skin. You''l need a light bronzer-nothing too dark cause it might look really artificial and orange on your skin.





If all you wear is purple eye shadow-try some new colors like light brown.
as far as foundation, the best thing to do is have a professional help you find your best shade. remember too that you have to apply it in natural light in order for it to show up correctly. try sephora or mac. they both have great makeup artists and sephora has foundations that i really love
MAC MAC MAC and MAC


I am quite fair myself, so I was looking for a long time for a good foundation.


I would recommend liquid foundations. MAC offers the best spf one!


They offer one that gives a satin/shine finish, and one that gives a dewy finish, but both give an amazing glow!


Ask one of the employees to match a shade to your skintone.


So you say you already have rosey cheeks? If so, I wouldn't creme blushes, this will just increase the colour too much.


I would recommend powder blushes, try one that is a lighter shade than you already have. Maybe a coral, or pink.
i wouldnt use blush
umm well if you're cheeks are naturally rosy their's no need to apply blush. i usually don't use foundation, i just use powder %26amp; concealer on zits if a have one. but if you prefer foundation , you said they make you look to white, try finding one that maches your skintone a little better, try to make it match your neck. i suggest almay or even better nuetrogena, they won't cllog your pores.





hope i helped, Judy
Go to a make up counter and ask them to match you to a foundation, you will only have to do it once and it will save you from the hassle of finding one youself.
ok first of all, no matter how much foundation you slather on your face, it will still be ';flawed';. if you are fair skinned, i dont suggest using foundation. if your cheeks are naturally rosy, dont use blush. you will look like you have a sunburn if you do.
thats what i wear except for the eye shadow. Try to switch it up sometimes.. the mascara that i use is maybelline and i love it. its black and its waterproof! As for foundation i dont use it cuz it clogs a lot of ur pores and its not good for u. Maybe u should go for powder.. and blush just add a lil more color to ur cheecks.. dont use bronzer..
