First things first, I am sure it is not a surprise that I have seriously obsessed with Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua Foundation– $45 USD, something about the lightweight texture, and instant ‘no makeup’ makeup look just has me. Glowing, dewy skin that last for quite a bit of time on the skin- instant goodness. But as with all foundations there are a few other components that make for the perfect base, so I now bring you The Flawless Base Threesome…
The key to starting with the perfect base is of course finding a foundation that works for your needs and your skin type. I have quite a few {here} depending on the mood that I am feeling- full coverage or light coverage. Follow up your foundation pick with a great concealer. I have been loving NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer– $29 USD, this do it all concealer is ooooooh so dreamy. Literally covers bags, blemishes and good ole hormonal redness- its creamy and great coverage almost on the edge of being full coverage, without feeling too thick or cakey. Richly pigmented this concealer is phenomenal, and just blends with the skin as a second layer of gorgeousness.
Last addition to the threesome is a AH-MAZING powder. I opt for loose powder as it just gives makeup a little bit of oomph to the staying powder. Urban Decay Naked Skin Ultra Definition Finishing Powder – $34 USD, is one of my serious favorites. Lightly dusted on the skin it helps set foundation beautifully. You can read my full review {here} but this powder is pretty amazing. Light on the skin, blurs imperfections and seriously feels like silk on the skin. In LOVE!!!
I can’t even begin to explain my love for this fabulous threesome. When skin is looking a bit dull, or problematic and in need of some major covering without feeling to heavy- I reach for this trio, Gorgeous, flawless skin. I think that is an award-winning trio of goodness.
