Flawless Foundation w/ Alcone at Home

Autumn is upon us and its time to start making transitions in all things. Sandals to boots, flowey tops to chunky sweaters and of course setting aside that tinted moisturizer that took you through the summer heat for its much more sophisticated sister - foundation!

I always begin my foundation with a clean  & moisturized face. Since I have very oily skin I skip the lotions and face cream before applying my makeup. Instead I use pure rose water. This tones and adds light moisture to my skin which is ideal. I follow with my primer of choice then it's makeup time. 

First I start with Alcone At Home concealer by DermaColor in #5. Using the AAH concealer brush I lightly stroke the concealer under my eye area and in between my brows in an upwards motion.

 

Next I blend my AAH concealer lightly with my index finger under my eyes, pulling slightly down to the outer edges of my nose. I also blend out the concealer between my eyebrows up towards my forehead and down the bridge of my nose. This highlights my face so my under eyes are brighter and my nose a bit sharper.

Using AAH foundation by RCMA in MB6 and the Alcone foundation brush I lightly apply to the remainder of my face and blend out with wither my fingers or a wet Alcone sponge (sheerer coverage).  This foundation is mineral oil free and perfect for my oily skin.

I follow up with light contouring under my cheek bones and on the sides of my nose. Blending out the harsh lines is key to making your contouring look natural.

 

Once all is done, I do a slight dusting with my AAH invisible Perfect Pressed Powder and I have a trusty 10hr+ no fail foundation application!

Yesterdays make w/ Alcone at Home foundation, and no I do not have an explanation for that never-ending smirk of mine....::sigh::

I've got the BLUES

I'VE GOT THE BLUES...but in a good way!

This is how I did it 
*yes, after reading this over I realize I need to do videos or pic tutorials :-)*

Face:

Prime - Boots No. 7 Mattifying Makeup Base all over face 

Under eye - MallyBeauty Liquid Light Eye Brightner in Rich (seriously treats undereyes right and makes them super soft, you only need a little)

NYX Concealer Stick in Nutmeg (just a tiny bit, the brightner practically banishes the dark circles)

Foundation - BH Cosmetics Liquid Foundation (Ok, so its new and inexpensive so I was skeptical but DANG this stuff is great! Won't irritate sensitive skin, a little goes a long way and it doesn't oxidize to a yucky rust color) 

Contour - BH Cosmetics Contour and Blush Palette deep brown (hollows of cheeks and hairline)

Set - MallyBeauty Poreless Perfection Skin Finisher (do not be afraid of the single color, its a micro fine milled powder and just a touch will set your foundation to perfection)

Blush - NYX Powder Blush in Cocoa (I literally have to force myself to use other blush colors because I love this one sooooooo FREAKIN much!!!! It's universally flattering so no matter your skin tone you can rock it.)

LIPS:

Line - NK Lip Liner in Deep Brown (cover entire lip with liner, it helps hold the lipstick on longer)

Lipstick - NYX Extra Creamy Lipstick in Heather

Gloss - NYX Mega Shine Lipgloss in Miami Babe (not really needed by eh...why not!)

EYE:

Prime - Too Faced Shadow Insurance

(See Pic)

Crease - #1 Blend in well fluffy blending brush

Lid- #2 angled shadow brush, go over #2 w/ #3 same brush

Crease - Sonia Kashuk Eye on Neutral palette #9 (dark brown), crease brush (build your definition here,                        give the eye depth and blend upwards)

              Jenni Rivera palette from BH Cosmetics shimmering Navy, crease brush (this is where you give your smokey effect, concentrate in outer corner for a bit, blend inwards and upwards)

Brow Bone - #4, small shadow brush (blend well and down)

Inner corner - #5 small shadow brush

Liner - MallyBeauty Starlight Eyeliner in Midnight (upper water line, inner corner from end of lashes to tear duct. This will complete the line your lashes make and eliminate the need for liner across the lid which can take away from lid space.)

Bottom Liner - MallyBeauty Starlight Eyeliner in Sailor

Lashes - Lancome Hypnose Star lash primer on lash tips ONLY

              Lancome Hypnose Star mascara (build volume at base first, go over primed tips to color, then entire lash)

Bottom Lashes - Same mascara very light application 

Final Step to give you that awesome AIRBRUSHED look.....

MallyBeauty Evercolor Poreless Face Defender - it WILL keep your makeup in place, face matte and looking flawless for a good 10+ hours (well thats how long I have my makeup on minimum each day, after the 10 hours pass I could care less LOL)

Later Poptarts ~_^
