❀ My Foundation Routine ❀

Hi guys, hope it's all going well for all of you. Summer is just around the corner for us in New Zealand, and I cannot wait for it !

Today I have done a mini tutorial on how I contour my face and my foundation routine. I will also show you guys all the products I currently use and which are the must haves ! Are you ready ?? Let's get started :) 

First I applied my all time favourite lip balm from 

Christian Dior. This product helps moisturising and protecting the skin while enhancing my natural lip colour which I absolutely love ♥

Dior Addict Lip Glow ($33 USD ~ $51 NZD)

I like to use Estée Lauder Clear Difference Advanced Blemish serum to reduce any flaws on the skin before I moisturised my face with Biotherm Aquasource Gel (I highly recommend!) to keep my skin hydrated all day long. I would suggest you try these two products out if you have 
sensitive, normal-combination skin like me. 
Remember that the key of having a good make up that is always on point and lasts all day is to have a great base to start with !

Estée Lauder Clear Difference Advanced Blemish Serum ($82 USD ~ $126.5 NZD)
Biotherm Aquasource 48H Continuous Release Hydration Gel  ($80 NZD)

The problem I deal with a lot is the dark circles I get under my eyes from late night sleep which I find MAC Pro Longwear concealer (NW25) works like a treat to conceal my under eyes with. I used a damp Beauty Blender to apply my concealer as it gives more natural effect on my skin rather than cakey  

( Cakey make up = No No !!) 

MAC Pro Longwear Concealer ($21 USD ~$40 NZD)
Beauty Blender ($32 NZD) 

For Foundation in this everyday look, I used Double Wear 

Stay-in-Place Makeup foundation by Esteé Lauder in the shade 'Tawny' (3W1) which is equivalent to MAC foundation in NC30. It feels very light and breathable on the skin but definitely is build-able. 
Again, I applied my foundation using the same Beauty Blender. 
I like to make sure I blend everything well, 

we don't want any harsh foundation line on our faces do we girls ??

'Double Wear' Stay-in-Place Liquid Makeup ($69 NZD)

I ♥ ♥ ♥ using my Mac Prep + Prime highlighter in 'Light Boost' to enhance/highlight where it's needed. This product helps brighten areas on your face in a very settle way which makes you look youthful and fresh. I usually start from my forehead and drag it down on my nose, as well as my chin and my cheek bones then blend it all out with my Beauty Blender.   

Mac Prep + Prime Highlighter ($26 USD ~ $40.10 NZD)


After applying all of the above ✓ I set my foundation with a mixture of the famous Laura Mercier translucent powder and Ben Nye Banana Luxury powder. With the Beauty Blender, I pressed in the products where I highlighted before to accentuate those areas even more. I will go on and do my eyes and eyebrows make up while I let the powder kind sit nicely on my skin. 
This is called "Baking" technique.

Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder ($37 USD ~ $57 NZD)

Ben Nye Banana Luxury Powder ($39.90)

These are products I used to do my eyebrows. 

If you want to know how I fill in my eyebrows and do my eye makeup, 

just drop a comment below or give me a message from the links in bio ! 

I will make sure to check them & do tutorials for you guys ☺☺☺

After doing my eyes makeup, I dusted off any excess powder on my face from baking before with a kabuki brush. I then contoured the side of my face (the hollow part of my cheeks), on the side & the top of my forehead, and also under my jaw line to enhance facial structure and even make my face appear a little thinner. To do this, I used MAC Bronzing powder in 'Golden' with Nars Yachiyo Kabuki brush which is excellent for defining cheekbones, highlighting the complexion, and blending and diffusing colour on or around the eye area.

MAC Bronzing Powder ($26 USD ~ $40.10 NZD)
Nars Yachiyo Kabuki Brush ($55 USD ~ $85 NZD)


Lastly to finish off the look and to add some colours, I lightly applied MAC Powder Blush in Pinch O' Peach just above the contouring on my cheeks.

MAC Powder Blush ($22 USD ~ $34 NZD)

And here you go, this is the finial look, easy right ? I know !
This is my to go everyday look which I normally wear and love. 
It usually takes me about 30 minutes to achieve this make up look, 
so if you wanna try it out I do suggest you leave about 30 minutes to an hour before you go out. This look can also easily be transformed into a night look, all you need are darker eye makeup and your favourite lipstick ! 


Before I go I hope you enjoy my tutorial, leave any question or comment down below. I hope spring treats you well and I will see you guys again real soon, mwah xx
