Full Foundation Routine

On an everyday bases I don't enjoy wearing a full face of makeup and usually stick to the basics. However on those special occasions I do wear a full face I have a routine for. 

BB Cream

I really dislike the feeling of wearing foundation on my face, because it feels heavy on my skin and I can tell I am wearing it. Instead I like to use a lighter coverage and use the Revlon Photoready BB Cream, I have it in the lightest shade. I just apply this with my hands as I feel like it melts into my skin more and gives it a more natural look that way.

Concealer

I then use a concealer under my eyes and on blemishes, any areas where the BB cream hasn't covered enough. The only concealer I use is the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer in the shade '15'. This concealer has been compared as a dupe to the Nars Creamy Concealer! For blemishes I apply some onto the back of my hand then dab and blend it onto the area needed. As for under my eyes I apply it in the dark areas with the doe foot applicator and using my ring finger, blend it in.

Contour

I personally like to contour before I powder as I think it sits better on my skin but it is all down to personal preference. I use the Sleek contour kit in 'light' to contour and highlight my cheek bones, I don't use blusher as I already have a natural blush. I use the Real Techniques Contour Brush and apply the bronzer in the hollows of my cheeks and in the 3 E motion to define my face. Then to give my face a glowing look I apply the highlighter on the tops on my cheekbones using an eye shadow blender brush.

Powder 

The last but not least step: Powder. I myself suffer from oily skin so this is a very necessary step for me. I use the Rimmel Stay Matte Powder with a Real Techniques Buffing Brush, because I feel like this packs it onto my skin more. I just apply the powder in my T-zone and under my eyes to set my concealer.
