Beauty Tuesday: Tips For Flawless Foundation

Happy Tuesday.  This week we are going to discuss flawless foundation.  I am obsessed with the no foundation, natural look and I must say I do get a lot of compliments on my foundation.  I thought why not share my tricks with all of you.
1.  Make sure you are using the right foundation color and formula for your skin type.  This is key.  Have your color matched by a professional.  Make sure you are clear on how much coverage you want, and what skin type you have.  The more information you give the easier it is for them to provide you with a product you will love.  I use MAC ‘Studio Fix’ Fluid Foundation.  It’s a medium to full coverage matte finish foundation.  It may not be the best foundation for you so, check with a MAC makeup artist first! 
2.  Prep your skin.  Clean your face, use moisturizer and follow with a primer.  This will help your makeup last all day. I love MAC ‘Prep + Prime’ Skin Base and Smashbox Iconic Photo Finish Primer and their new Smashbox Photo Finish Primer Water.

3.  If your foundation is full coverage you can give it a little added glow.  Sheer out your foundation with a moisturizer.  I love MAC Strobe Cream.  It has iridescent particles that add light reflection and a dewy finish.  You can also sheer out your foundation with a regular moisturizer. 

4.  Set your foundation with a powder.  I love sheer powders that are lightweight with little coverage.  Apply only in the places you need it.  Typically nose, forehead and chin but, if you tend to get oily on your cheeks you can add powder there as well.

5.  Finish your look with MAC ‘Prep + Prime’ Fix+ Finishing Mist.  I know I am sharing MAC products again but, I seriously love this stuff!! It’s a perfect finishing spray.

    You look gorgeous. I have never used a finishing product but you’ve convinced me otherwise.

      Thank you Johanna. I swear by Fix +. It gives you a nice smooth finish. They have a small travel size if you want to try it out. ~ Megan

    WOW! I took your advice, since I’m not 20 yrs. old anymore, getting color matched by a professional and properly prepping your skin before applying foundation makes a world of difference.

One of my favorite spots on our European adventure One of my favorite spots on our European adventure was all of the beautiful churches. Stunning architecture, lots of discussions about religion and the differences between them all.  It was so much fun to talk, to share with the girls and I hope they have a new respect for cultural and religious differences.  In the end we are all humans, living on this earth, to grow, learn and love.

Here is a little travel tip: One way that we save money on travel is easy breakfasts. We keep food in our hotel, fresh fruit and baked goods. We grab a coffee every once in awhile, but it’s always something like this. Quick, easy and affordable.
