Flawless Skin
Achieving perfect looking skin comes in many different formulas and textures.  Here are a few ways to determine what is best for your skin type:

-If your skin is oily; you may want to try an oil free foundation
-If your skin is combination; you may want to try a sheer or lightweight foundation
-If your skin is dry; you may want to try a cream or oil based foundation
-Another option is a powder foundation.  If you don't wear foundation, a lightweight powder is a nice option for giving sheer coverage

*The best tool for applying foundation is a brush.  Many cosmetic lines now make a special brush to apply foundation.  This brush is best when applying liquid or cream foundation.

1.   When applying foundation, dot a little foundation over various parts of your face and then blend with the brush until smooth and even.  

2.   Underneath the eye should be ready (eye creams & treatment products) for concealer.  Dot a little concealer underneath the eye area.   Take your concealer brush and gently blend.

3.   Finishing powder is an optional step.  If you choose to use a finishing powder, it will set the foundation and help minimize oil production.   If you prefer a dewy look to your skin, you may want to skip the powder.

*Now it's time to play!  Maybe you want to play up your cheeks, bronze your face or add a little shimmery highlight.

1.   Select your favorite cheek color or choose one from the most current seasonal best.  When selecting a blush brush, it is best to consult a Makeup Artist to find the style that works best for you.

2.  Apply the blush on the apple of the cheek and work back blending accordingly.  

3.   Bronzing powders are great for people that want a tanned look but don't want to self-tan or sun bathe.

4.   Using a powder brush, sweep your bronzing powder allover for desired color.

5.   Try something different!  Shimmer powders or shimmer cream sticks are the latest craze.  They are great applied to the eyes, cheeks, lips or allover the face for a sheer luminous look.
