Creating a flawless look

With the increasing demand of needing to look good, many cosmetics company has competively comes out with new products to enhance facial features. Foundation liquid, Compact foundation, and the list go on.

They have products who will create a radiance look, a glowing effect, covering of pores and so on for an effective flawless look especially under the camera.

There is so many aspects to look after, when it comes to cover ups. Dark Eye circles, freckles, open pores, pimples, acnes scars, mild redness and so much more.

Using one product alone is insufficient to cover all the flaws and using too many products aka layering is also probably a bad idea because if it is over-layered, it becomes thick and cakey. Besides, if there is so much layering to do, it means it also takes the same amount of effort to de-layer the makeup by effectively removing the make up with a proper double cleansing. Either do that or prepare for further skin damage cause by outbreaks and other factors.

Primers

Primers is meant to even out the skin texture and the first step to create a flawless skin. It is also to hold your makeup so that it last longer throughout the day.

Primers are usually transparent in colour.

There are also primers available solely for the eyes aka the eye primers.
Eye primers usually intensifies the colour of your eyeshadow. Common top hits eye primer will be urban decay brand. It also one of the more costly eye primers available in the markets.

 Eye Primers

The best place to shop for any primers will be sephora. They have many good brand primer for your selection. However, the price of each primer on average will kickstart from $45 onwards.

Concealers

No matter how good a concealer can be, it's very hard to conceal the flaws on its own. It's always best to have concealers with a few shades so you can mix to suit your skin tone best. Never layer concealer just to cover the flaws unless it just for photoshoot purposes only.Else, it will simply show crack lines after a while especially under the undereye.

For people who has dry skin, it's better to consider using liquid concealer to avoid all the cakey look. However, liquid concealer is not one of the best options if you are looking for heavier coverage.

After all the basic  is done, the next step is to decide to go for liquid foundation or compact foundation.

Liquid Foundations

If you are prone to oily skin, I will suggest you avoid liquid foundation as liquid foundation contains a higher "oil" content and it probably make you more uncomfortable. Though liquid foundations these days are not as creamy as it used to be and it has a very light feeling, I am still not a fan of liquid foundation personally.

However, if you are a die hard liquid foundation person, you can consider using mousse.

Compact foundation

Easy on the go. Easy for touch ups. Can be used both wet and dry.

Pressed Powder

Press powder is usually used to set makeup on face in instances where liquid foundation is used. Personally, I used press powder regardless which option I opt for.

Pressed powder are much finer and smoother to feel on the skin. However, dusting so many layers on the skin means it can be overlayered. In this instance, I will use  a powder brush to dust off the face to remove the excess powder before setting the blusher and the eyeshadow.

As most cosmetics products are fine tuned these days means it's easy to "melt" on your skin due to facial heat.If you do not overlayered the powder, it should give you a very natural finish once your facial heat sort of melts the powder.
