The trials and errors of makeup

I think that best makeup days (for me) start with a well prepped face. Cleaned, moisturized and set with some De Slick. I do not have time to let moisturizer set a lot of the time so I skip the step... but then my makeup falls flat or doesn't apply as evenly.

On days like that a tinted moisturizer is ideal. Now if only I can find my holy grail tinted moisturizer. Any suggestions?!

Back to my point, I think this is where many people go wrong when applying makeup. I definitely do not have flawless skin so the prep time IS important. To make sure I do not have dry skin I have to exfoliate then moisturize. Moisturizing is tricky depending on your skin type. If you are acne prone then you want an oil free moisturizer or one that contains properties that can heal and prevent acne. I am getting quite ahead of myself... I think I will do blog posts in this order:

Exfoliating/Choosing a cleanser

Moisturizing/Toning

Foundation Primers

Setting Makeup.

This is ambitious, especially for me. However, I have concepts and ideas and I should do the research anyway.

Also, don't worry. I have no forgotten to review Cargo's Better Than Waterproof Mascara. I am just waiting on getting some high quality photos of what the mascara looks like on my lashes. ALSO! I made a video, I just need to edit a bit then upload. It is September/Summer favorites. I will get that up, you can bet your bottom dollar on that!

Look forward to my upcoming posts. They will be worth it!
