The Budget Beauty Episode 3

It’s the morning after exfoliating our face and lips.  Now it’s time to prep and prime the face for a flawless coverage of foundation.

Prep & Prime

1.       Revitalize your moisturizer.  Massage moisturizer into your skin in a circular motion.  Do not forget your “T” zone;

2.      Moisturize your lips if needed;

3.      If you use an under eye cream, apply it now;

4.      Allow the moisturizers to absorb into the skin for approximately 15 minutes;

5.      Apply face primer to the back of your hand.  This will warm the product and allow for a smoother application.  Apply produce with your foundation brush.  Apply evenly all over the face;

6.      Apply Eye Shadow Primer;

7.      Remove any access lip balm;

8.      OPTIONAL:  If you use lip erase, now is the time to apply it;

9.      If you COLOR CORRECT or CONCEAL, now is the time to do it.
