so you want a flawless face for inexpensive ?

I get a lot of question on how to maintain a flawless face what moisturizers to use ? to keep your face nurished and looking vivid and what foundations are good for everyday wear and have spf well I am here to answer all your questions & NO you dont have to spend alot of money on high end products to achieve great quality skin car . I personally love drugstore brands in the last year drugstore brands have really added quality from their product like loreal for exmaple its from london so you are getting THE BEST QUALITY . I like to keep things affordable the best way I can for my readers because like myself I know its hard to bulid a kit or simply add to your own personal collection with all these pricey products on the market so lets get started shall well :D



MOISTURIZER: absoultely everyone should wear this product why ? its basically like the body needing water to survive you need to moisture to help the skin maintain a healthy glow to keep your skin looking young and healthy . So what do I recommend cetaphil its cheap it gets the job done works well on all skin tip perfect for your kit or for personal use . My other favorite is Ponds cool cream not only is it a moisturizer but it takes off your makeup tooo ! need I say more ? two in one who doesnt love that & let me tell you it takes off makeup like no other I sware by these two their my secret little weapons muhahahaha

Eye cream : the eyes are what attracts people to you mostly right ? ladies & gents hehe well why dont you keep these babys looking good and forever young I recomend oil of olay cheap and inexpensive

now for makeup

FOUNDATION: Sometimes I feel people are afraid of foundation because their always afraid its gonna look cakey and orangey . well yes and no  if you do not buy the proper foundation then yes you are left with those two things however here are my go to foundation products and alittle TIP : FOR PICKING FOUNDATION COLOR MAKE SURE YOU PUT YOUR FOUNDATION UP TO YOUR CHEST AND FACE BECAUSE YOU WANT COLORS TO MATCH BOTH FACE & CHEST ALSO BUY A SHADE YOUR COLOR AND ONE COLOR A TAD DARKER BECAUSE OUR SKIN IS NOT ONE TONE AND IT ALSO HELPS TO CONTOUR YOUR FACE WITH A LIGHTER & DARKER COLOR. but back to business here are my favorite drugstore foundations


L'OREAL - true match ( every makeup artist swares by this ) feels weightless and long lasting great color rang
REVLON color stay & photoready . dewy perfect glow light weight and long lasting

POWEDER :  rule of thumb every thing liquid always needs to be set with powder . powder helps everything staying in place and not greasing up my recomdation is ELF HD HD POWDER  I know I rave about this all the time but for 6 dollars you can not beat this its an exact dupe for MUFE HD POWDER

These are my little tips - I dont know all my readers skin colors so its hard to say what colors will look best on you . feel free to leave me comments and I will try to help the best way I can


ALSO I WILL DOING A GIVEAWAY FOR ELF HD POWDER because I want my readers to see what the hype is about . SO SUSCRIBE AWAY MY FRIENDS

MAC PRO WEAR

As you all know I am a freelance Makeup Artist who is always looking for the best foundations for brides , photoshoots or just everyday well I think i found a great foundation and I wanted to share !!!


INTRODUCING MAC PRO WEAR for the pros & for inspiring makeup artist wanting to start their kits

MAC Pro Longwear Foundation with SPF 10
NC20, NC40, NC45

<i>long-wear foundation that gives up to 15 hours of wear in any environmental condition. Lightweight and creamy, applies smoothly to provide sheer to medium coverage. Even in hot and humid conditions, controls oil to keep skin fresh, natural and flawless. Provides everyday SPF protection." - MAC Website</i>


Unlike other MAC foundations, MAC Pro Longwear comes in a glass bottle with a pump. Having a pump is more hygienic and the best part of it all you can control how much product comes out of the nozzle, which I like because I tend to get OC with my products hehe.

Likes:
- Lightweight!
- Buildable Coverage
- I don't oil as much
- LONGWEARING
- Part of MAC's Permanent Line so yayyy!
- Affordable at only $30usd
- Perfect for outdoor shoots and long shoots

Dislikes:
- Don't know when this will be available in Manila and how much in PHP
- I wish it had a tad bit more coverage in one layer instead of building for more coverage.

 
So overall I will have to give MAC Pro Longwear Foundation two thumbs up!! I made the right decision in choosing this foundation for my kit! Yayy! :)
