So, every once in a while we find ourselves finding new
products that we would love to try and for me it’s been the Revlon Colorstay
foundation. I worked my routine around this new product. I found that I really
love this liquid foundation. It gives me enough coverage to last the whole day
and it doesn’t make my face look oily or dry. I did buy the foundation that is
meant for combination normal/oily skin. And when I took it to Philippines, no
matter how sweaty or oily I got I still had the foundation on! I admit it’s not
just the foundation; it also has to base upon what other products you’re using.
If you, have oily skin just like me and you use oil based primer then there
goes that matte perfection. Therefore, you have to think the other products you
use. Now, if you have dry skin, Revlon does have the same Colorstay foundation
but for combination normal/dry skin. An oil based primer would also be
beneficial since it’ll give your face that extra moisture. I also, found that Neutrogena
Healthy Skin is perfect for that dewy look. I realized this when my face was
super dry during the winter months. Let’s get started:
·
I start with my Olay toner and let that dry on
my face.
·
I then apply a tiny amount of Olay Complete SPF
15 moisturizer and let that set in for a good amount of time. You can have
breakfast while waiting for this to set, or the way I do it is I put on my
clothes and fix my hair.
·
Once, the moisturizer has seeped in, I smooth in
my Rimmel Fix and Perfect PRO primer and let that dry for a couple minutes.
This is when I do the next step for my routine.
·
I take a clean sponge, go to the bathroom and
wet my sponge with warm to lukewarm water and squeeze out the water. You will
notice that the sponge is softer and bigger.
·
After that, I dab my Revlon foundation with my
finger tip on certain areas of my face such as nose, cheek, forehead, chin, jaw
and under my eyes.
·
I smooth out the foundation by dabbing the
sponge all over my face the way you would with a stipple brush. And blend the
foundation out towards the hairline and don’t forget to take it all the way
down to your jaw so as not to create a line. There really is no need to reapply
foundation twice or three times since this gives your face a full coverage. If
you do, then that’s when you will start having that cakey look on your face.
·
I then apply my Garnier BB eye roll on my eye
circles to diminish puffiness and decrease dark circles.
·
I dab on my Revlon Photo Ready concealer on
problem areas and my nose bridge to accentuate my nose.
·
I don’t set it yet since I want to give it time
to settle on my face. This helps prevent that cakey look. So I do my eyes and
eyebrows first.
·
When I finish with my eyes, that’s when I set my
foundation with my Sephora Matte Press Powder Foundation.
·
And wala! It’s all done! Now, you may apply
whatever blush, bronzer, highlight and lipstick you prefer! Enjoy your look!
