Getting Gorgeous
Makeup tips and tricks

1. The first steps to creating your flawless face
are primer, foundation, concealer and powder. These
steps can be finished quickly because they are
meant to cover everything. Primer is used to fill in
any fine lines and pores so that your face makeup
looks smooth and perfect. If you skip a primer, you
may find that your foundation enhances pores or fine
lines! I use the Arbonne Makeup Primer because it
does not contain silicone or mineral oil. Mineral oil is in
most products in stores because it is an inexpensive
filler ingredient but it doesn’t let your skin breathe!
Look for products without it! Foundation is applied
on the entire face [even eyes, nose etc.] and neck
and blended down the chest. I used a damp Beauty
Blender sponge to blend everything. Concealer is 1
shade lighter than your skin and is applied under
and around the eyes, down the bridge of the nose,
chin, and to cover any blemishes. Blend that out with
your fingers, brush or sponge. Finish by setting the
liquid products with a brush and a touch of powder!
