You have all these fabulous skincare and makeup products and you are not really sure how to use them or what order to use them in. I can help.

If you have never used a primer before you apply your foundation, buy you some. Farmasi has a an affordable primer for $15.90.

Let's get started:

1) Prime - Prepare the skin for makeup application to smooth pores and prevent makeup absorption. 

-TIP: Allow your skincare to fully absorb before you apply any makeup products. 

2) Perfect - Apply a foundation or BB/CC cream with a brush or blending sponge. 

-TIP: Start application where you need most coverage, typically the cheeks, and blend out. 

3) Conceal - Designed to provide more coverage than foundation, use to disguise blemishes and imperfections that your foundation may have missed. 

-TIP: When using concealer under the eyes, match your skin tone for a more natural look and use a shade lighter for a more dramatic effect. 

4) Set - Setting your foundation helps absorb breakthrough surface oils and prevent your makeup from melting away. 

-TIP: A dense brush, like a kabuki, will apply more powder and a fluffy brush will give you a light application. Not using every product listed? That's ok! Just keep the same order for best results!
