My Foundation Routine for Acne Prone Skin

My Skin is pretty problematic when it comes to acne. I cleanse my skin, moisturize and make sure all my makeup is off before I go to bed. I think it might be my caffeine intake which is casing my break out. Like I said in the video, your foundation is only as good as the skin underneath. So make sure you use moisturizer and primer that works best for your skin. I usually am able to cover my acne with foundation, and when I don’t I use a little concealer. When using a medium to full coverage buildable foundation you can apply a little more foundation over where you need it. So if I have a couple pimples I just apply a generous amount over the pimples and it seems to work! All I do to make sure it lasts, is to seal it with some powder! I use a mineral powder because it is good for someone who has drier/sensitive skin. It is baked in 77 minerals that all come together to nourish and condition the skin. It is a really great powder that even adds a little bit more color.

Where have you been?

I know, It’s been a longggg time since I’ve blogged. It’s sad. I really miss doing graphic design, and working on the web. Since I am now fulltime at MAC it consumes most my time. Not that I’m complaining, I love my job . I just need to practice on my time management skills. I really want to get back into the swing of things. I really cut it cold turkey the day I got my job at MAC. I have been doing graphic design since I was 12 and it’s something I thought I would be doing for the rest of my life. Now I am a makeup artist, who would’ve known? Lol!

Anyway, on more into some new updates about myself. I don’t dress like a girl anymore. I really wanted some change in my life. I feel like without change there is no growth. I feel more confident the way I am now. I feel like I was jumping ship too quick, I now realize I can be feminine without being a complete girl. But don’t get me wrong sweetie, I still rock my 300 dollars Michael Kors bag! Lol! I’m deff the same person just diff look.

I really like the feelings of putting what I’m thinking into a blog post, it gets it out of my system I guess lol. I just hope people realize that I’m still the same person I was before & after I change.
