Nothing afterwards? Maybe to take the shine away?

Moisturize. Wait for that to sink in for a bit. Primer. Wait for that to sink in for a bit. Pump (usually 2 pumps) of foundation on brush and dot all over fave. Then buff in. Then I do the rest of my makeup and use a finishing spray to hold all day. Nothing to take the shine away because I like a more dewey look. But you can always set with a powder

Depends on the texture of the foundation, whether cream, liquid or powder. I use different techniques for all 3.

1. Moisturizer with an SPF
2. Primer- I use Laura Mercier (hydration bc i live in the desert)
3. Concealer for all my red spots
4. Foundation dabs on my face
5. Brush it out with Saphora's "Air Brush" for a flawless finish
Add the blush & my fav. Physicians formula "Translucent" Pressed Powder for a radiant glow

Since I have oily skin I cleanse first. Then moisturize (philosophy hope in a jar) then I wait till it sinks in then I prime ( makeup forever hd primer) then wait for that to sink in.. Then I use the makeup forever brush to apply my foundation. I start from around my nose then blend out. After I apply concealer to my under eyes then set with a hd powder!

1. Cleanse, tone, moisture.
2. Apply primer. (I also lightly apply my Estée Lauder BB cream after I do this, sometimes I cocktail the two together.)
3. One pump of foundation to my back hand (UD Naked in 3.0) and use my UD diffusing brush to lightly buff foundation.
4. Conceal imperfections with Benefit's Bo-ing in Light Medium. Highlight with Glamoflauge in Light.
5. Set concealer with a medium dense dome face brush.
6. Set entire face with Large powder brush with Smooth Operator by Tarte.


I spritz with setting spray when EVERYTHING is complete.

When applying foundation use a brush for the most even look. Start with a primer and apply with the brush and take your foundation onto the back of the hand and work with the brush you used primer for that way it will glide onto the skin and you will use less product. Always start on the forehead, nose and blend outwards with even strokes never apply the bulk of foundation on the cheek or near the chin area or you will see a line and always use a powder to mating especially in summer :)
Hope it helps ! X

Oh ok so foundation before the concealer! I have always done it wrong ! No wonder my face would look with white patches n I would have to take my make up off n just use powder ,but didn't get enough coverage so now I'm switching back to foundation!
