EVERYBODY LOVES HAVING FLAWLESS SKIN

The key to any chic makeup look is having flawless skin.

But we weren't all blessed with good genes, so the next best thing is makeup.

Following your skincare routine:

#1 Apply the foundation or base of your choice on the back of your hand or on a palette. Lightly tap your foundation brush (I am using Chanel's #7 Foundation/Powder brush, which is perfect for an airbrushed look) and blend into the skin. Stippling brushes, such as the one shown, create a beautifully blended and natural finish. Flat, traditional foundation brushes are great if you want a slightly heavier, yet, blended application. Make sure to work the product under your chin so there are no harsh lines.

#2 After your foundation is evenly blended, use a concealer or corrector under the eyes and on any blemishes if needed. My favorite is the Bobbi Brown (not pictured) corrector in Bisque. Apply under the eyes using a concealer brush or with clean fingertips to disguise any dark circles.

#3 Apply a bronzer to your cheeks and lightly work the product into the temples and under your chin to create an evenly bronzed, natural finish. 

#4 If you have oily skin or like a matte finish to your foundation, follow this routine with a pressed or loose finishing powder. My favorite is Laura Mercier's Loose Setting Powder. Using a light hand or a fan brush, dust the powder over your face to keep any shine away.
