Tools required for this process are:

· Moisturizer

· Powder

Prepping your face

Wash your face with a cleanser or lukewarm water before applying makeup in the morning. This removes any debris on your skin. Pat it dry with a soft towel.

Apply a moisturizer before applying makeup. This helps your makeup to go on more easily and create a better finish look. Do not forget to massage your eyelid, noise and lips. Leave for a few minutes to absorb before putting on makeup.

Applying foundation and makeup

Choose a foundation that works with your skin type and complexion. Liquid foundations works best in many skin type, however, for oily skin types, powder maybe an option.
Apply foundation evenly over your face using a foundation stippling brush making sure it does not cake or leave clumps anywhere.
Blend your foundation around the edges of your face and let it meet at your chin point.

NOTE: DO NOT PUT EXTRA MAKEUP OVER BLEMISHES. IT WILL STAND OUT MORE.

Applying concealer

Choose a concealer that matches your skin tone or if you have dark under eye circle, use a lighter shade. Using the beauty blender, apply a light amount under your eyes and gently blend it in. Can use a little extra on blemishes if necessary.

Applying powder

Choose a powder that matches your skin tone. Using an angled contour brush and a cheek highlighter brush to apply the makeup. Bronzer maybe applicable to help create flattening shadows while highlighting brighten areas.
