When I sat down to write this blog post, I promised myself I wasn’t going to use that silly phrase and say I’m ‘all about that base<\/i>‘, but I can no longer deny it: I really am all about the base. The part of my makeup I like to take plenty of time for, is without a doubt applying foundation, concealing blemishes and dark circles and hoping my 10 minutes of hard work stays put all day with some help of a setting spray. I briefly told you about\u00a0my makeup routine\u00a0before, but today I’d like to give the two star products in my foundation routine their moment in the spotlights.<\/p>\n
YSL <\/b>Le Teint Touche Eclat is the foundation I’ve been using almost exclusively since August. At first I didn’t get along with it; the product wouldn’t set properly and started to look patchy on my chin in no time. Luckily, as the temperatures dropped after a hot July, it would last on my skin all day with a thin layer of powder and a setting spray on top. Le Teint Touche Eclat is a light to medium coverage foundation with a dewy finish. I like to apply one layer and cover up any blemishes with concealer, but you could easily build up the foundation if you wanted to. The main reason why I adore this product is because it instantly makes my skin look glowy and healthier. Didn’t get enough sleep? Pow<\/i>. Le Teint Touche Eclat makes sure my skin doesn’t look dull. This has made it as my number one foundation for autumn and winter.<\/p>\n
My current favourite finishing powder to use on top of the YSL foundation is the Ambient Lighting Powder by\u00a0Hourglass <\/b>in the shade ‘Diffused Light’. I wouldn’t say this is th\u00e9 best powder I’ve ever had, but I do really like the subtle effect it adds to my makeup. Diffused Light is a white pressed powder with yellow undertones, which would reduce redness. When I visited the Hourglass counter I wasn’t sure if I should buy this or a pink-toned powder, but when I tried both – Diffused on one half of my face, a different one on the other – it was clear that Diffused Light would be a better match for my skin tone. The powder is lightweight, isn’t visible on the skin and sets foundation well. It can add a bit of a powdery feeling if I’ve applied a lot of concealer on blemishes so I make sure to use a light hand. The Ambient Lighting Powder adds a soft focus to my makeup. Combined with the base I’ve applied before, blemishes and unevenness on the skin are less noticeable while my skin looks more luminous.<\/p>\n
These are my top products for when I want my skin to look nice and glowy. Depending on the look I’m going for, I will also contour and\/or add blush and a highlighter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
