How I Do My Makeup-Cream Foundation

"Hello. My name is April and I have aversion to cream foundation. "
     I was taught that cream foundation was not for oily skin...but it depends on HOW oily. If you can see the oil sheen all over the face, probably a bad idea to use cream foundation. If you are oily in certain areas or just oily in the 't-zone', that's normal and the use of cream foundation is fine.
     Cream foundation provides the most coverage ( usually advertised as full coverage.)
With cream foundation you can go without concealer, since the cream is full coverage. The use of a color corrector is still necessary, especially under the eyes where you want as little makeup as possible. (too much makeup under they eyes, make you look older or tired)



1. I applied my color corrector to my under eye circles and dark spots. I mix 2 colors to get my perfect shade. The lighter color I use around my eyes and up my cheek bones for a natural highlight. ( the color on top is the lighter color, it's the only color I have on in the picture.)
The cream foundation I used was from MUD, palette $120, compact $24 (of course that's before my pro discount)

I used this foundation brush by Ecotools, $8  
    

2. Then I used a mixture of the 2 colors above to cover the rest of my face. I set the cream with a light powder, NYX matte finishing powder, $10. I applied it using a large powder puff also from MUD, $5 for 2.
 After this, I used brow gel
 and pencil on my eyebrows.







 3. I applied blush, my usual E.L.F. blush for $3.
I used my 'go-to' palette, which is also by E.L.F. I used a blue half way up my eyelid, a bronze from the blue section up into the crease, and a gold as my highlight. I also used a teal pencil shimmer liner by E.L.F. $1 and Mineral Mascara $3.

 

 

4. To complete the look I used a Rimmel Lipstick #10, $6. I will review this lipstick later...but I must say I think that it's probably the BEST lipstick you could by in a drugstore!

 

     This was my "Girls Night Out" look complete  with black jumpsuit...no heels.

I did do some contouring after this photo was taken. I omitted it because it's not something I do everyday.

      Next week will be the last of these makeup segments and it will involve liquid makeup. I will bring you a *new* section showing my eye makeup for the week.

     If anything, I hope these segments give you ideas on what to do with your makeup and answers any questions you may have. If you have any addition questions, please leave them in the comments below. Until tomorrow :)
