Lets start with the basics Primer, Foundation, and Contouring
Did you know a liquid makeup can settle into fine lines and can actually make you look older?? Pro Makeup Artist Tip: Try a primer just a few minutes before you apply your foundation, powder or tinted moisturizer. Primer goes on silky smooth and acts as a base coat, it extends makeup wear and helps to create a flawless finish. FYI: A primer is meant to create a barrier between foundation and skin…a primer helps fill in pores and fine lines so your foundation doesn’t. You’ll be surprised when your foundation stays on in hot weather. Primer also helps prevent skin from absorbing pigment and powder from your foundation as well as preventing talc from drawing oil from the skin. They contain botanical and extracts to soothe and refresh the skin. Using a primer underneath foundation helps you avoid that “caked makeup face”.
A Little About Me
I’m based in Orange County, CA I’ve lived here for most of my life, since I was 5 I believe before that I was in Texas yes I’m Texan born I’m middle eastern originally from Palestine. I graduated in 2010 with a bachelors in business with a concentration in entrepreneurship. After graduation I started working for the family business and still do I love it and hate it all at the same time. Only people working with family will understand that. I’ve been into makeup for years and recently became a certified makeup artist. By getting certified I was able to learn skills and techniques that I can use to improve my skills. I’ve decided to start this blog so I can organize my thoughts.
I’ll be using my blog to post looks that I create, products that I use and much more. It won’t be all about makeup though so stay tuned!
