Flawless Face.

For all my ladies and men who wear makeup.

We all have Bad days where our makeup is caked, or maybe it's hot and sweat takes over our looks, making the makeup look smudged and faded. Either way makeup can be our best friend or our arch enemy.

However, there is a little secret about makeup. It's all about less is more and concealing the right areas.

Concealing the right areas is what will take your face from dull, to glowing, you must always remember to brighten up your complexion. You don't want to seem gloomy.

What you will need:
~ An Exfoliating scrub
~ Your favorite concealer
~ liquid Foundation of your choice
~ A fine pressed powder to set your makeup.

Let me start by saying that if you don't have a scrub you can easily mix up some honey and sugar for a sweet face exfoliation.

Start by splashing warm water on your face, the warmth will open up your pores. Cleanse your face with your normal facial wash. after you are cleansed, you want to gently and thoroughly exfoliate your face, this will eliminate all dead skin cells that can gather and make your face look bumpy. Rinse with Cold water, The cold will close your pores, making your face look smooth. Pat your face dry and add a tad bit of moisturizer. Too much will make your face too slick for makeup, add  only enough to feel fresh.

Now, It's Time to conceal. Follow this picture chart above. The yellow areas are where it's most important to conceal. These areas will lift your face and brighten your complexion.
Also concealing the lids of your eyes is important because your eye lid color is different from the rest of your face.  Make sure to conceal those dark circles and smile lines too! Blend the concealer with a brush or your fingers.

Now that we've done that you want to even your face tone. When blending my foundation I like to use my fingers because they will warm up the foundation making it look smoother and easier to blend. Always remember to move your foundation outwards to your ears, hairline and neck too, this way you will look blended and natural. for extra glow you could add highlighter to your cheekbones, nose, and brow bones. Now it's time for our powder. use a fine powder that will not look fake. Tap on your powder, then swipe it outwards and Ta-da! You should look refreshed and bright!

Stay amazing my Hooded women and Men!
