Current foundation routine —> All about That Base

OK, it’s true, I seemingly have a new foundation routine every two seconds since I like to switch things up all the time. Lately I’ve been utilizing a somewhat different combo of some old faves, as well as I’ve been getting a great deal of concerns about what I’ve been doing with my skin. So I assumption it’s working for me! Here’s the product lineup in buy from begin to finish…

MAC Fix+: A few spritzes on bare skin

MAC Prep+ Prime natural Radiance: One pump used around face

MAC Mineralize Timecheck Lotion: One pump on oily areas (forehead, nose, chin)

MAC studio repair fluid foundation in NC42 mixed with a few drops of Pinklite Strobe cream (1-3 extremely thin layers)

Charlotte Tilbury Magic Away liquid Concealer in shade 7 (under the eyes) as well as shade 8 (on cheeks as well as around nose)

Mac minéraliser la poudre naturelle de la forme skinfinish en tan doré

MAC Fix+: A few a lot more sprays besides of the powder products have been used (powder, blush, bronzer, highlighter, etc.)

I’d phone call this a medium-coverage base. The protection is just timid of full, as well as I like that this combo doesn’t feel heavy, however there’s still sufficient protection to even out the skin.

It does take time, though. absolutely a lot more than a one-minute task with tinted moisturizer as well as concealer used with my fingers as well as buffed out with a clean or sponge (which is likewise a absolutely legitimate process, however likewise a absolutely different look).

If you’re gonna go this route, I suggest doing a couple things…

1. wait on your deal with primer to dry

I normally apply my deal with primer at the begin of my makeup, then do my brows as well as eyes to provide the primer time to absorb. If I’m in a hurry, I’ll wait a minute or two, as well as then blot down as much as I can with a tissue or paper towel, however you generally want the primer to have completely absorbed so it can do its chose. You don’t want to jump to the next steps while it’s sitting on top of your skin.

2. thin layers are key!

OH, THE MAGIC OF thin BASE LAYERS. I might talk about this for ages, however here’s the gist of it: If you’re going for a great amount of protection however don’t want your base makeup to look like cake frosting, utilize several thin layers of foundation and/or concealer, rather than just stacking a ton of product on bare skin.

The thin layers will provide you the protection you want without appearing like batter.

It does takes time as well as effort, though…

Apply each thin layer with your fingers or a sponge or brush, as well as blend it in with a buffing clean (you want to get the layers as close to your skin as possible). Also, wait on the previous layer to dry (at least a minute or two) before applying the next one, as well as repeat up until you reach the protection you want.

It’s like walking around with a goat in your arms…

Not that I’ve ever brought a goat in my arms, however I picture it would be similar to that or to working out with a sandbag…which is what I did last night at the gym.

Mondays as well as Wednesdays are my HIIT class evenings, as well as even though the classes are brutal, I look ahead to them for lots of reasons, one of which is since I get to focus on myself for a while, as well as likewise since I’m not staring at a screen.

I’m in my head all the time LONG, as well as it’s exhausting, however when I’m in HIIT class, even though it’s physically extremely tough for my worn out 40-something body, I like having to concentrate on my breathing while I do burpies (which truly are the devil’s work!). It’s really kinda fun for me.

I understand — craziness.

Anyway, last night we did reverse alternating lunges utilizing a sandbag…

OHEMGEE. This is what they look like:

This woman is a bad-@ss since she’s utilizing — not one, however two sandbags! I only utilized one, as well as I might barely function. just to get with it, the entire time I was doing them I pretended that the sandbag was a goat named “Beatrice,” as well as I had to bring her across a field to return her to her infant goat.
