Step 1: Jane Iredale Smooth Affair Primer and Brightener. I applied with a foundation brush all over in a circular motion to prime and smooth the skin. Primers are amazing at controlling oil, minimizing the pores, and keeping your make-up in place. I especially love JI's because it is the purist of them all, no harsh chemicals, dyes, fragrance, or parabens! It is truly a "skincare" make-up! It is an anti-aging primer, with antioxidants!
Step 2: I used Make-up Forever Matte Velvet foundation and mixed it with Nars Orgasm Illuminator. Matte Velvet goes on very smooth, has great coverage, and looks natural after applying. I love to mix my foundations with Nars to create an amazing "illuminating" and radiant glow! If you are taking pics its's gorgeous and captures light, naturally giving you a perfect highlight! I used a round foundation brush, an applied in circular motions as well, this will evenly smooth the foundation, giving you a more flawless appearance.
Step 3: I set the look with just a touch of powder, not heavy at all! I used Jane Iredale pure pressed in golden glow, with a large powder brush. Once again, I love it because it's breathable, pure and clean. Great for your skin's health.
Step 4: Time for "HAC"... highlighting and contouring! I used a contouring chisel brush with Jane Iredale So Bronze 1 to contour. I used NYX High Definition Photo Concealer Wand for highlighting and concealing. I also used Jane Iredale Pearl Powder for extra pop of highlight and to set the look. For the cheeks... I used Nars Orgasm blush, with a small blush brush, applied on the apple of the cheeks. Here is a diagram to help with HAC and blush!
