maybelline’s dewy+smooth foundation
♦
nars radiant creamy concealer

benefits

the dewy+smooth foundation in 125 nude beige literally glides over my skin. i apply it with a damp real techniques sponge in dabbing motions all over my face. if i have specific problem area, i will apply a second layer. this foundation helps reduce the look of pores on my skin, evens out any discoloration, and still provides a natural looking finish–not too cakey.
♦
the radiant creamy concealer in chantilly gives my skin a medium coverage look. it brightens any dark circles and helps camouflage red patches or acne. i bought the lightest shade in this line because i’m really digging the bright under eye trend at the moment. i do blend in my concealer with a damp real techniques sponge, and i make sure that there isn’t a distinct line between my concealer and foundation. if you’re like me and love this look, the secret is to apply a few additional dots of concealer right under the eye and let it “bake” for about 5-10 minutes, and then blend blend blend downwards in tapping motions.

thoughts

for $5.99, this foundation provides your face with a dewy, non-oily canvass. your skin will look smoother, and have a more even tone all over. even though the concealer is pretty pricey at $29.00, it covers like a magician. instead of having to use multiple concealers each day you could invest in this product and get away with using only one concealer that provides amazing coverage, and brightness.
