1.Good moisturizer
2. Foundation, Powder with MACs Stipling brush and then set it with Fix+ with the stipling brush to give it a dewy glow! Fix+ is the key to flawless foundation

Yes indeed, the skincare routine is the most important part. I sometimes forget the exfoliating the past weeks, though, I should take better care of that.

Enough said about the skincare routine-part, here comes the makeup-part:

1. Moisturize (with my super-sensitive skin I use hypoallergenic moisturizer)
2. Radiance Balm (a sort of strobe liquid/cream, but then a slightly different formula, from a drugstore here in Holland. It has lots of vitamines and stuff in it. It’s great for my dry and sensitive skin!)
3. Green concealer (for my red blemishes). I spread it with my fingers.
4. Liquid foundation (also with my fingers due to the sensitivity of my skin, I can’t apply with most brushes. I would love to try out the 187, though!)
5. Normal concealer, undereye areas and other little spots (i apply this under my eyes with my concealer brush, it’s a great way!! the rest of my skin, i will blend it with my fingers).
6. Setting!! : most times I use translucent powder, in days of extra need of coverage I use mineral foundation. When I use mineral foundation, I sometimes give it an extra set with evian spray.

And for the extra dewy look, I use go gosmetics baked bronzer in a pinkish color (http://tinyurl.com/3hym42)

That’s a wrap!

I’m an aesthetician so I’m a firm believer that taking care of your skin is the best way to achieve a flawless foundation application. You wouldn’t paint over a decaying wall would you? You’d prime it first and then add the paint.

Exfoliating is one of the biggest keys in my opinion. Many people cleanse and moisturize, but you’ve got to get rid of that dead skin, ladies:) Also, stay out of the sun! I’m 34 yrs old and most people think I’m 25 due to my fair, shielded-from-the-sun skin. I always get compliments on my flawless skin. Trust me, it works.

That said, MAC’s Studio Fix Fluid is my all time favourite foundation for my own skin. I also find that foundation, concealer and powder always works to achieve flawless skin.

We all know I’m the master of a flawless face (if you know me!); it’s the most important part of me. I can do this with virtually any type of products (even though I have my favs).. a medium coverage foundation, opaque concealer, mineral found. or powder to set, and bronzer. The most important tool is concealer.. to erase any shading, discolouration, or minute spot. I have a teeeenie tiny brush that I use with mineral powder concealer, over liquid concealer applied with my fingers. Bronzer is the second most important, because it camouflages everything. For liquid products, I use my fingers to apply (prefer it over foundation brushes, etc.), and for powder products I use dense brushes.
