This post is all about my face and how I apply foundation, powder, and concealer. My routine can vary from day-to-day depending on how much time I have to get ready or if I want to try a new trick.
Step 1: Apply moisturizer to your clean face. Apply one with SPF, or you can apply sunscreen, too.

Current Foundation: CoverGirl Outlast Stay Fabulous Liquid Foundation in Classic Ivory
I use a round latex-free sponge (mine are from Ulta) to dot the foundation on my face. I get four uses out of my sponges by using the front and back sides, bottom and top.

Next, I use a round stippling brush (mine is from BH Cosmetics) to blend my foundation well and to create clean, even texture and tone.

Step 3: Apply concealer.
Current concealer: CoverGirl CG Smoothers Concealer in Light 710
My concealer is a creamy, lipstick-shaped one, so I smooth it on my problem spots. I then use my round stippling brush to blend it in.

Step 4: Apply powder.
Current powder: CoverGirl Professional Loose Powder in Translucent Light 110
I have combination skin, and I find that loose powder covers and sets best for my skin type. I use the included puff to gently powder my face. Sometimes I use a powder brush instead.
My finished face!
If I have time, I like to apply highlighter at the end of my basic routine. That's for another post, though!
I hope this is helpful to you if you're stuck in a rut with your face makeup. What do you do to cover imperfections?
Pretty Panda's Ponderings:
- Animal Crossing: New Leaf came out today for the 3DS! I don't own a 3DS, so I pre-ordered the special edition bundle pack! I'm picking it up tomorrow after work.
- I slept so much today. I was just exhausted from last week.
- I want to see Now You See Me!
