Face: Fabulous and Flawless, oh yah!

Okay, so I will start my first actual makeup post with the face. Some people are born with fab skin, but some of us gotta work hard to put our best face forward. It's really important to clean and moisturize your skin twice a day. But I have a very acne prone skin, and I feel that using a toner in between cleanser and moisturizer is necessary to minimize my acne. An eye cream is also good if you have some extra money on hand. I use a lighter eye cream for daytime and a creamier one at night.

I had to do a lot of experimentation to find the perfect foundation shade for me. However, I don't like liquid foundation at all (I have combination skin). I like to use mineral foundation in the winter for sheer cover. During the summer, I use a sunscreen and put powder over it that matches my skin colour. I also put a liquid concealer under my dark circles and mineral concealer on acne spots.

When I am looking for the real flawless skin, I put a primer under my foundation which helps to hide pores and makes the foundation application smooth. I layer my mineral foundation for full coverage on special occasions. I have a chubby face and I find Highlighting and contouring my face makes it looks slimmer. I opt out of blush most of the time. I guess I covered the basic introduction, but don't forget that diet has a lot to do with good skin. A healthy diet and exercise doesn't only make you healthy and fit, but also makes your skin and hair glow.
