"So now we're moving onto foundation. Now that the skin care is on you want to do foundation pretty much right away. So that it goes on really nice and smooth so I'm using a very lightweight tinted moisturizer shear foundation. Since she has beautiful skin I don't want to cover her skin I just want to accentuate how gorgeous it is. So like I said we're just putting on this light coat of this tinted moisturizer on her face. Just to kind of cover u a little bit of the imperfections, she has very minor imperfections. So we're just going to put a light coat all over the face and again don't forget the little bit on her neck. You really want it to look all blended and she doesn't need a separate concealer I'm also going to use this as a concealer. Just a little around the eye area, just get the redness away and maybe a little around the nose where it tends to get a little red. A tiny little blemish just to cover it up a little bit and like I said she has great skin so I don't want to cover it up to much. If you have maybe a little bit of drier skin or your skin was not as clear you might want to use a heavier more creamy foundation. If you are oily you definitely want to use a foundation that is a little more for oily skin, something that is oil free that is going to be modifying. With her we're going to do a little bit more of a glow so using something that is a little more moisturizing. Once you have the foundation kind of blended in you want to take a powder and dust it right on top. What that's going to do it's going to set the foundation it's going to keep it on longer and it's also going to smooth out the skin. We're going to get rid of any access oil or shine and it's just going to really smooth the skin out. The powder is something that is good to have unless you are extremely dry then I would say avoid powders. Also you want to avoid them to much around the eye area you don't want to put to much powder around the eyes because it can seep into any lines that you have and can make your eyes really dried. Again don't forget down the neck just blend blend blend you don't need to use a lot of makeup. You just need to use good tool, good brushes and you just need to blend very well. Now that the foundation is her and her skin looks perfect we're going to move onto blush."
