Adding Foundation for Applying Makeup for a Jessica Simpson Look

Video Transcript

"Okay so now we are starting with the foundation. I'm using MAC Hyper Real foundation. It's a very sheer iridescent foundation and it's going to give a glow to her skin. She has really nice skin so we don't need to cover up a lot of things. So I'm just using this very very sheer natural foundation. And then maybe we will put a little powder on top of it just to set it. What you really want is to see the skin underneath. You don't want to put a tremendous amount of heavy foundation so that it looks like there's a mask on, cause this look is very very natural and very pretty. Like I said like a dewy dewy fresh faced look. It's very girl next door. You want to make sure you go around the whole face and again if you're doing this on yourself you can use your fingertips but I like brushes better. I think they are smoother. They don't make streaks. They blend everything in better. Sponges I don't prefer either. I would prefer fingertips rather than sponges. Sponges kind of soak up all of your product. And just make sure you go all over the face and again down the neck a bit because you want everything to look even and then underneath the eyes. You can use this foundation just as you would a concealer. And if you need to put a little more on certain spots like a little zip or something like that. That is fine too or use a little bit of a concealer. It just depends on your skin type or what you are comfortable with. And then I am just going to take a little bit of powder, a little bit and just dust it over cause we don't want to matte her face too much. We still want it to look dewy and sun kissed and just nice and natural. When you are putting on powder try to avoid the eye area too much. It's going to be a little swipe because powder can sort of set into the lines around your eyes. Okay and now we are ready to start with some color."
