Foundation

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE make-up. I love trying it on. I love buying it. I love playing…it’s just fun. I am always looking for good ideas and tips. Below are two of my tips:

1. Foundation – For a long time I was using mineral, loose and/or pressed powder and liked the effect of a natural face. But, I have larger pores and needed a little (I mean little) more coverage, so I went back to foundation. The huge difference, and here is the tip, is to use a brush to apply!!!!!!! First, you will use a lot less, which makes it more natural; second, you can really focus on the areas that need attention. Which for me is my chin, nose and apples of my cheeks. The finish is amazing – I have had many of my friends comment on my skin and ask what I am doing to my skin.

2. Highlight for the Eyes – using white on the brow bone (from the arch of your eyebrow out to the outside where the brow ends – on the bone) and then in the inside corner of the eye (surrounding the tear duckt). HUGE difference! Especially the inside corner – it really brightens the eye!

Now I know some of you are going to say “AHH, ya Trish, I have been doing my make-up this way for years!!!”…and I know they are not new techniques, but they are newly adopted (or re-adopted) to me. So now it’s your turn, what tips do you have for me?
