Throwback Thursday: Summer Foundation Routine

summer foundation routine

In this not so Throwback Thursday post, I am sharing my current favorite foundation routine that I posted a few weeks ago on my YouTube channel. The routine leaves you looking fresh-faced and sun-kissed but not without a little hyperbole (e.g. the sickening cheek highlight).

The key to looking fresh vs. cakey when applying foundation is to use a light layer that is just enough to even out your skin tone. Next you want to go in with your concealer and target specific areas that need extra coverage. After you are done applying your liquid or cream products, set everything with the powder of your choice to smooth out the different textures of those products. Feeling powdery? A setting spray will take care of that as well as prolong your makeup’s duration.
