Flawless Skin
The beauty of makeup is being able to create an illusion of even tones and coverage. I’ll admit, I usually spend way more time paying attention to my eyes and lips for my everyday look. I’ve totally been neglecting my complexion. Now that I’m getting older, and the wrinkles cannot be stopped, I’ve paid more attention to concealing. Want to look like you have glowing skin and cheekbones again?
FIVE Top Makeup Trends
- Primer – add extra hydration and vitamins to your skin, make your foundation stay-put longer and give your skin a matter finish. It’s a triple win!
- Blend – have you seen one of these sponges yet? Game changer! Dunk it in water and squeeze out any excess, then use the pointed side to blend your concealer. Use the bottom, flat side to then apply your foundation, in short, upward strokes.
- Contour – Hello Cheekbones! Apply this darker colour in a 3 shape with your blush brush, starting over the outer corner of your eyebrow, come down under your cheekbone and then finish along your jaw line for a more defined chin.
- Blush – Apply blush on the apples of your cheeks. Use the blender again to blend the contour and blush if you feel that it is too strong!
- Highlight – My favourite part! Add shimmer and glow under your eyebrows, over your cheekbones, along your nose and forehead.
I love the bold red lip, very pretty!

Flawless skin is definitely something I don’t have, but try to fake! thanks for the awesome tips!
Same here! Especially with aging! I’m more self-conscious about it too.
Love this! I do not know much about makeup so this was a great and easy list to follow!!
I love the contouring pallet. I have been wanting to try to do some contouring but not sure I know how to do it. I will have to look on Pinterest.
I’ve been working on my skin too! It’s totally not the same now as it was in my 20’s. I wish I had taken more care to it when I was younger now. I definitely need to give one of those sponges a try!
