Flawless Skin Foundation Routine | Full Coverage (Acne Scars, Hyperpigmentation, Redness)

Hi everyone! Today I'm bringing you another video (I have been LOVING filming lately.) Today I'm showing you my flawless-skin foundation routine. I've dealt with a combination of acne, fair skin and very oily skin for many years so I consider myself somewhat of an expert when it comes to face products. This look is great for anyone with a lot of acne (scars or active), hyper pigmentation, redness or other general uneven skin tone.

I used a combination of drugstore and high end products. This is a routine I do pretty much daily as I love to have a full coverage look, but if you don't, it would be great for any big occasion, night out or fancy event when you need to look great in person and in pictures.

The Scoop: My Makeup

 Hi loves! 

Today I wanted to tell you about the makeup I love and use everyday.

I did a post on my skincare a little while back and it seemed to be fairly popular! I personally love reading what products other people love so I hope you do too.

Some of these things are new and some are old favorites but all of them have been in my makeup bag for at least a month.

I do use other things here and there but I wanted to show you what I couldn't live without!

Make Up For Ever Mat Bronzer: This is one of my favorites, and it perfect for anyone with a very light to medium skin tone. It has no red undertones, which is always the problem I found with bronzers. Definitely worth the investment, mine lasted at least 6 months.

Loreal True Match Blush: In the shade Rose, this is perfect for winter, giving me a glow without looking fake. 

MAC Fix+: This was a recent present from my best friend Jenny, and I'm already loving it. I spray it on top of my makeup to give that last little bit of "dewy glow" before I run out the door.

 Naked Palette: I got this for Christmas last year and haven't stopped using it. I bring it with me every time I travel and use it almost everyday. You can create everything from a natural look to a NYE smokey eye. I haven't tried the Naked2 but this one is great.

NYX Lipstick: Circe is my favorite nude. It's a gorgeous brown nude that is a little darker than Mac's Creme De' Nude. A $4 a pop, what's not to love?!

Maybelline Colossal Mascara & Lancome Artliner: My go to mascara+liner combo. This liner IS worth the money, as it draws amazingly and won't smudge. The mascara rivals some of my Sephora loves because of the collagen formula that builds amazing dramatic lashes.

Garnier Dark Circle Corrector: An under eye concealer that has caffeine in it, I use this when my eyes get puffy (oh yeah, that's everyday). 

Almay Clear Complexion & Chanel Perfection Lumiere: I mix these two foundations depending on how tan I am, but that are both amazing. Medium to very full coverage and a matte finish that doesn't look powdery or dry. I can't go without at least one of these everyday.

NYX HD Concealer: (At the left edge of photo) This is one of my favorite concealers. I use the light shade as well as the yellow shade under my foundation. It covers all of my acne scar redness and created a perfect base for my foundation.

What are your everyday makeup favorites? Leave me a comment! I love finding new products.

When Life Hands You Lemons

{MUFE Foundation | YSL Brightener | Tarte Blush | Lancome Mascara}

{YSL Lippie | Dior Lipliner | Falsies}

Hi my beautiful readers. I've been obsessing over Hart of Dixie lately (it's on Netflix!) and today I decided to show you how to get one of Lemon Breeland's looks!

The makeup and hair team for this show (mostly done by Corinna Liebel and Candy Walken, respectively) do an amazing job of keeping Lemon's looks similar. In almost every episode she rocks flawless porcelain skin and a bright lip. 

How To!

MUFE foundation has an amazing range of lighter colors and covers everything magically. Brighten and conceal with YSL's cult favorite for a solid base.

Lemon never wears blush or bronzer that is really "visible," it always looks as if she has natural contour or rosy cheeks. This Tarte blush will last all day and give you the perfect "I'm-trying-to-pretent-I-woke-up-looking-this-good" cheeks!

Next are the eyes. Not one for dramatic shadow, Lemon always sports gorgeous lashes. A coat or two of my favorite mascara and this set of falsies (or the Ardell whispies) will do.

Last are the lips. The center stage. In this particular episode I lover her slightly darker red lip. Line and fill in your lips with the Cinnamon Dior liner and follow on top with the gorgeous YSL lipstick.

Ta-Da!
There you have it. This is a gorgeous look that can easily be worn everyday, even with the dark lips. I love how "southern" all of Lemon's looks are.
Let me know if you have tried any of these products before, or want to!

Do you like Lemon's flawless skin and deep lips? Or do you watch Hart of Dixie?! (If you don't, you should hehe).
