My Favorite Foundations and Brushes Drugstore & High End

Hey!

Today, I want to talk about my foundation routine. I like to wear makeup everyday! I think that it is really important to invest in good brushes because they make the application of makeup easier and more flawless. I think that drugstore makeup is just as good as high end, you just have to find the products that are actually good. Just for a background on my skin, I have very oily skin, redness, and some acne. I always go for medium to full coverage foundations because I do want to cover my redness and acne. Heres a glimpse of products that I'm going to be talking about:

Benefit Porefessional ($30)

When I wake up, I wash my face with a gentle cleanser, I use purity by philosophy. For me, I don't feel the need to exfoliate in the morning because I usually do that at nighttime along with a mask. I follow with my oil control toner then moisturizer. I do like to prime my face before applying any foundation. I love the "benefit professional". This is really a product I use everyday, and haven't found an equivalent one from the drugstore. Primer is a good base for your foundation to apply smoother and last all day.

Then, I dot foundation on my face and blend in with my favorite brush which is the Sigma Flattop or  whatever is clean! I've used the Real Techniques Buffing Brush before, and it also works well with liquid foundation. It comes in a core collection with a contour brush (I love the contour brush) and 2 others at Ulta for $17.99. 

Sephora Mineral Powder #45 ($24), Sigma Flattop Kabuki F80 ($21)

Beauty Blender ($20) on the left is the BB damp and on the right dry


I use my Beauty Blender damp to blend in my concealer, but you can also use it for your foundation for a more natural look. 


Some of my favorite foundations from the drugstore are these. These are perfect for everyday use. They are really affordable and look good. I like to get these products at target because they tend to be a couple dollars cheaper than cvs or walgreens. But I would consider buying them there if you have coupons or extra rewards. Cvs/Walgreens usually have deals each week either BOGO or extra bucks/rewards.

Covergirl 3-1 Stay Fabulous ($8-$10), Revlon Colorstay Whipped  ($10-$13), Garnier BB cream shine control ($11-$13)

Then, my favorite high end foundations are these. I use these on my days off of work, girls night, or special occasions. The naked skin is the lightest feeling and I think work for all skin types. Double wear and lock it are for really flawless full coverage and better on oily skin.

Estee Lauder Double Wear ($37), Urban decay Naked Skin ($39), Kat Von D ($34)

After applying foundation, I add concealer to my under eyes or any red spots my foundation didn't cover. You want to set that with powder, so it don't move anywhere. I apply the powder with a fluffy brush, sweeping it all over the face. Then you can go ahead with your bronzer/blush/highligher.

Real Techniques Blush Brush ($8.99)
Currently on BOGO 1/2 off at ulta!

Revlon Nearly Naked ($7-$10) found at target, cvs, walgreens

MUFE Duo Mat Powder ($34), found at sephora!

That's it, you have a flawless face! After applying the rest of your makeup and you feel like you may have added to much blush or bronzer you can use a duo fiber brush to blend it out.
