My Go To Products For A Flawless Base

For the past few days, I have been stuck for ideas for upcoming posts, probably because I have been posting more than usual recently. I did have a couple of products that I had reviews for but I fancied something different. I thought I would do a post about my favourite products for a flawless base as I love reading those kinds of posts on other peoples blogs.

When it comes to my base, I like it to be matte. I do have oily skin so if I use dewy products they make me feel like I look oily. I know a lot of people prefer a dewy look to the skin, but a matte look is my personal preference.

 

 

I am currently in between primers at the moment as I am using Smashbox Photo Finish Primer at the moment and I don't like it, so I thought I would leave that step out. If you have any product recommendations then please let me know.

 

After priming I would go on to foundation. I love the Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra 24H as it gives a naturally matte look to the skin without looking overdone or cakey and is medium to buildable coverage. This foundation is incredibly longwearing so it's great for using day to night. When it comes to applying the product, I prefer to use a stippling brush as I feel like it gives a better finish.

 

After foundation I would then conceal my under eye area with Mac Pro Longwear. This concealer is amazing for under the eyes as it has a thin consistency but gives good coverage, without creasing. After blending in the concealer I would use Mac Prep+Prime Highlighting Pen in Light Boost. This is a yellow toned highlighted so it adds a lovely brightening effect to the under eye area.

 

To finish off I would use the Kardashian Beauty Finishing Powder. Out of all the pressed powders I have been trying recently, this is the only one that gives me a shine free finish. At the moment I am in between setting sprays as I haven't found one I am fond of yet, so if you have any product recommendations then please let me know.
