Spring Foundation Routine

{CoverGirl Aqua Smoothers Tinted Moisturizer, N.Y.C. Green Cover Stick, Maybelline Fit Me Concealer, MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural, N.Y.C. Matte Bronzer in Sunny, Sonia Kashuk Rosey Creme Blush, Neutrogena Healthy Skin Custom Glow Blush and Bronzer in Rosy}

As it begins to warm up outside, I try to go for a fresh and light face of makeup. These are my everyday essentials and staples. And most of these things I actually use all year round, but they are very fitting for the warmer months. And contrary to the title, I don't use a foudation (I feel like foundations don't work very well with my skin texture) but I do use a tinted moisturizer. This keep my face looking healthy and natural and also helps to keep off minor dryness that I get from acne medications. And to any blemishes I like to start off with a green concealer to cancel out redness and then top it off with a creamy, skin toned one. I have fallen in love with the Maybelline Fit Me concealer! It blends so nicely into your skin and looks so natural. I top all that off with some MSFN and a big kabuki brush. 
Next I'll add some bronzer to my face, I normally use a matte one but if I am going out or something I like to add a little shimmer. Sometimes I'll for just one formulation of blush but I usually use both. I'll start with my cream blush and pat that onto the apples of my cheeks and then top it off with a light dusting of a powder blush.To finish off, I'll give everything a final blending with my bronzer brush!

What are your favorite fave products for the Spring/Summer months! Let me know down in the comments!

Maybelline Fit Me Foundation

Image
On the hunt for a good, new foundation? Well, look no further! Lately I have been loving the Maybelline Fit Me Foundation. I have always been on the fence with liquid foundations, due to my fear of cake-y makeup, however I don't think my skin has ever looked any better with makeup on than when I use this. It gives your face a sheen, which some people dislike (mainly the oily skinned girls out there), however I have moderately oily skin, and I have found that the more moisturized my skin is, the better this foundation looks (I think I may do a little skincare type post too, b/c when I say moisturized, I am not just talking about a normal face lotion. I have a little, semi-secret trick! Let me know what you think!) . Not to say that this isn't for girls with dry skin, I would not really know that, it's just something I've noticed. Now to the other pros and cons...
