My Foundation Routine :)

I'm one of those unfortunates of the world that has oily skin. Before I discovered and tried my current products, by the time I would get home from my day, my face would look like a nappy mess. After much research and trips to Sephora, I finally found products that would help everything stay put throughout the day. So here is my full foundation routine:

1. Wash your face of all dirt and toxins (I use the Biore Blemish Fighting Ice Cleanser-found anywhere like Walmart, Target, CVS, etc...LOVE this wash! Makes my face tingle with a cool burst that makes me feel so fresh especially in the morning!)

2. Moisturize your entire face with Murad Oil Control Mattifier with SPF 15 (I used to think MOISTURIZE was a curse word for people with oily skin but this does EXACTLY as it's name says!-featured in Allure Magazine)

3. Take a few drops of Philosophy Total Matteness Oil Free Mattifying Pore Eraser and pat this all over the face (You'll see your pores shrink and the excess oil suck right up!)

4. Take a small amount of Becca Ever-Matte Poreless Priming Perfecter and apply this to all the oily problem areas (Don't put this all over the face! It will make your face feel super tight! I usually apply this to my T-Zone: under my eyes, forehead, nose, and chin...Even if you choose to skip the first two products this is a MUST products for anyone who has oily skin! Priming the skin is KEY!)

5. With my dampened Real Techniques sponge (I reviewed previously) I apply my foundation all over my face and part of my neck to blend it all in. I use Kat Von D's Lock-It Tattoo Foundation in shade Number 62. This foundation is an almost gel like foundation which gives you full coverage that lasts all day! It's perfect for people to cover entire tattoos so a blemish?? Pish posh! It's nothing!!

6. Set all your makeup with a loose powder (I feel like a loose powder is better since I already have foundation on. A pressed powder has some sort of coverage to it and you don't want to look cheesecaked remember!).

You're all done!! It looks like a lot, but it really isn't! It's a quick routine that makes you look and feel flawless and not oily at all! For those who have oily skin like me should definitely try this routine and let me know if any of these products work for you!
