Since I have a difficult time with foundation looking somewhat decent, I'm going to try different combinations and methods of applying my base in hopes of finding a routine I'm satisfied with.

Today I've used:
Wet n Wild Fergie BB Cream in Light
Wet n Wild Liquid Concealer Wand in Fair
Wet n Wild Cover All Cream Foundation in Fair
Wet n Wild Fergie Take On The Day Mattifying Powder in Pedestal

First I applied the BB Cream. For the record, this gives me zero coverage or any type of evenness from what I can tell. But it says it's an 8-in-1 beauty balm so I tend to use it in place of a primer and moisturizer. I've had issues before with not liking the texture but I came across a technique from GossMakeupArtist that I'm going to embed below.

Next I applied the concealer. I'm not keen on this concealer at all. It's somewhat acceptable at concealing redness, or maybe even for tiny breakouts... But for my breakouts, it just dulls the redness. It doesn't really mute any of the darker pigments from scarring. I never use concealer for under my eyes but I doubt this one would be beneficial to anyone trying to conceal dark circles. I don't even think t would do much in the way of trying to highlight either (though I may experiment with that...).

Then I applied the foundation. I like this foundation a LOT! The is the only foundation that I've bought more than once. Of course my skin is so scarred up that nothing seems to cover-up or even things out...but this foundation has given me the best results at the attempt so far. After applying it, I used the technique that Goss taught in a recent video. You take a single ply of facial tissue paper, wrap it around a clean makeup sponge, and dab your face to pick up excess product. He says that it will help keep the makeup in place and prevent it from oxidizing. Here's the great video!




After doing this technique, my makeup truly did look a lot better! I took a fluffy powder brush and dabbed on the mattifying powder. For the record, this powder reminds me of a pressed version of the ELF High Definition Power. And then I lightly buffed it over my face. This makes all the difference in the world! It really gives an airbrushed affect.

I used L.A. Colors Bronzer in Bronze Gold to do my contouring. Not too keen on this for the wintertime because it's too "warm" but it was the most convenient for the moment. And in the meantime I have Rosebud Salve on my lips to help moisturize them since they're chapped. I'll finish my eye makeup and lips later...
