Want smooth, glowing skin?? How to achieve it using MAC and MUFE!

[mreichert]

I wanted to do a tut on how I "put on my face" each morning so that when I do Eye Tuts, I don't need to restate what I do with my face (it's always the same anyways )

I hope this helps at least someone Have a great week everyone!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


What you need:
-MUFE concealer palette
-MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation
-BE Mineral Veil
-MAC Emote blush
-Nars Orgasm blush
-BB Shimmerbrick in Gold
-Fix+ spray
-Small shader/concealer brush
-Fluffy face brush (similar to 136)
-224 brush
-Blush brush
-187 (only if you have it)


1. Begin with a clean, moisturized, primed face.
*Even if you have oily skin, MOISTURIZE! Just use a lighter moisturizer
*It is your option to use primer- I use Smashbox Photofinish primer.


AHHHH.... I'm naked!

2. Apply concealer.
*I just started using MUFE concealer palette (#1)

*I applied the peach color under my eyes with a small shader brush to cover dark circles.



*I then used the green color where my redness was.


You should look a little bit like the grinch or kermit at this point...

3. Apply foundation.
*I use Studio Fix Liquid Foundation as it has good coverage and blends very easily. I applied using my fingers, but if you have a 187 brush, that might work better.
*If you use your fingers to apply the foundation, wash your hands right before! And, don't do this on other people- just yourself.



4. Set foundation with powder.
*I use Bare Escentuals Mineral Veil as it seems more finely milled, which I like.
*Tap some MV in the lid, swirl the large powder brush around, tap the excess off, and buff onto your face in circular motions. Make sure to go down your neck some.


5. Contour!
*Dip your blush brush into Emote blush and swipe under your cheekbone up towards the temple, blending as you go. (don't forget to make your fish face )
*Dip your 224 into Emote and swipe down sides of nose, also blending as you go.



Here's the difference- one side is contoured, one is not:

(ignore my reeeally dry lips )

6. Add blush
*Dip blush brush into your fav. color- I used Nars Orgasm. Start at the apples of your cheeks and blend up. Avoid making a strip across your cheek- you want to follow the natural curve of your cheekbones.


7. Highlight
*Dip blush brush (or 187 or 188) into BB Shimmerbrick in gold. Brush across top of cheekbones, blending towards temples.
*If you would like more shimmer, dip the brush into s/b then lightly spray with Fix+ before applying to face



8. Finish the look with Fix+
*Lightly mist the spray on your face- this gets rid of the "powdery" look. You could also mist your 187 with Fix+ then buff the face- this is the key to giving an even, glowy finish!



And.... you're done!

I spray it about 3-4 times, but not directly on your face as it will splatter in spots. Spray it in front of your face then walk into it.
But, I honestly find it better to spray once on a large fluffly brush (187 might work better if you have it) and lightly swirl on the face. I just hate having that powdery look to my face- this seems to "set" the powder and smooth it out some.

You may have sprayed too much- try spraying a large fluffy brush then LIGHTLY swirl on your face. Fix+ also works great if you dip your blush brush into the shimmerbrick or MSF then spray with Fix+ then buff into your cheeks- it gives a nice shimmer

I hope that helps some!

[aquadisia]

thanks for posting this! i always wondered about green concealer. do you feel it masks redness better? is there a significant difference compared to using only foundation and normal concealer?
