Flawless Foundation & Contour Routine For Beginners

guys welcome back to my channel I'm gonna be showing you how I get a flawless base for my makeup this I think I did this video like a long long time ago but it's changed quite a bit I definitely go for more natural more not shimmery but do we not necessarily doing like a natural shimmer to the skin very healthy looking very healthy glow so that's I'm gonna be focusing on it's going to be a really natural looking coverage it's not gonna be super super full light weight products just focus on glowing skin alright guys so if you want to see how I get my flawless base keep watching all right so I'm gonna start off by priming my face I'm gonna be using the Tarte brighterdayz moisturizer this is technically a moisturizer but I like using it as a primer actually I don't know what the ingredients are but it does contain a little bit of a pearl so I like to use this on the high points of my face when I want to just create more of a glowy look that's what I've been into recently but my skin does pull towards oily so if you are if you're on the drier side you can use this all over your face or I like using the Ready Set radiance for a by Tarte another great option is mac fix+ and those all those things will add a really nice plump and moisturized look to your skin if you are oily I would stay away from that what I like about this is because it's a primer moisturizer I apply it with a brush you have a little bit more control over where it goes so rather than a spray where you know you can get like in your t-zone I place it on just the high points and it adds like a nice natural looking glow without like making the rest of my face with coyly so I'm just gonna put a little bit of that on my morphe g—forty brush so just like a little precision foundation brush and I put kind of a lot on because I like the way look can you just see that it's anyway I'm just gonna be hitting my cheekbones around my temples and my eyebrows so my skin is feeling pretty moisturizer right now I just took a shower and West drives my face I used the simple replenishing moisturizer typically if I waited a little bit longer like if I took a shower a few hours ago and then I was gonna be doing my makeup I would probably go in with a primer all over my face but it feels pretty hydrated so I'm not gonna do that just gonna be focusing those areas so I'm going to go in with a light layer of foundation this is something that is I think really important having had experience without skin in the past I was definitely guilty of going in with a ton of heavy coverage when it comes to my foundation the best thing to do is go on the light layer of foundation the point of your foundation is just to color correct it's basically just to make sure that everything like everything matches and then you go in with a darker darker a heavier concealer in the areas where you need for a fuller coverage and then if you do that it kind of creates the illusion of really natural-looking skin people aren't going to notice where there's heavier coverage because the rest of your face is going to look really natural I'm gonna start off by just going in and doing the color correcting and I'm gonna be using the Fenton Beauty foundations I'm kind of in-between a tan right now so I'm going to be mixing 140 and 350 I'm just gonna use like a tiny dab of 356 I'm really dark and then the lighter I get the more all of them I need for the last fan I have so I'm gonna be adding just a little bit of the next color correcting liquid in green it's like a tiny little bit like a pea-sized amount and I just mix that up on the back of my hand maybe a little bit you light it does oxidize a little bit darker though you know I'm just gonna go for it and then I can correct it from there and then I'm just gonna it's too late I'm in a little more tiny bit more of the theme and then I'm just gonna going in with my damp it Beauty sponge this is a Beauty Blender this is my favorite way to apply foundation I think that this probably made the biggest difference when it came to foundation I remember how I first did it when I did it I used to use a stick foundation by Sonia Kashuk when I first started wearing foundation because it was the most yellow looking foundation I could find and I remember how I would blend it out maybe I used a brush but this gives the most natural covered in my opinion using a damp Beauty sponge I know that this is a favorite for a lot of people and I like to make sure that I'm covering my whole face with whatever I just placed down so I place down a little bit in like my cheek area and my forehead and I'm just gonna make sure that that's all blended out and then if there are areas that look a little bit thin I can kind of like add a little bit of coverage or if there are areas that need a little bit more coverage typically I get it around like my neck and my jaw line I need a little bit more coverage alright so now I'm going to go in with my heart-shaped cake concealers is my favorite concealer because it is a matte finish so it sets itself it's not – Matt or doesn't end up being like way too dry it's not like a super heavy or thick concealer like an Anasazi of pop concealer or like a backup concealer those are better for if you have like really bad acne and you need to cover up certain spots or darkness or redness or something like that this is great for underneath your eyes but it does offer a lot of really nice coverage especially the dark circles make me so this is light neutral I'm just gonna place a little bit under my eyes I've been trying to do a little bit less concealer lately and I do have some blemishes like in this area and then I usually get them like around my mouth so it just kind of works out with the areas that I want to highlight that's writing a little bit more coverage um I'm just gonna start blending that out these are just the areas that I want to kind of brighten up and then obviously I need a new coverage underneath my eyes if you're like me and you have creases underneath your eyes like I do I have some pretty intense creases like right directly underneath my eyes trying to spring your concealer up too high because no matter what I mean no matter how good your concealer is you will get creasing and it's very difficult for me to keep concealer from getting that high so we're looking pretty good I don't really have any areas that need more coverage there's like a couple spots right here but I don't even think that you can really see them on camera so tlook pretty good to me this base looks really nice in my opinion so now I'm gonna go in before I go in with my second my second layer of concealer and set it I'm gonna go in with bronzer typically I do this after I do my brows but I don't feel like doing them right now so I'm going to be using the cream contour shade and light palette by Kat Von D and my favorite is the middle shade it's definitely the most olive looking shade and a pretty cool tone you ca
