Tips For Flawless Matte Foundation on Dry Skin!
Tangibeauty
BAM! OMG. YOU GUYS.
This has been THE BEST makeup I have done on my face and it actually feels good to have on!
I don’t feel cakey and I look good in EVERY 👏 TYPE 👏 OF 👏 LIGHT!
The first photo is of my skin up close and personal. The second is how it looks far away!
Here are some tips to get a comfortable matte finish on dry skin! I usually don’t fully go crazy over products but THESE ARE BOMB.
1. Get a setting powder that’s hydrating and use a BEAUTY BLENDER to blend the product in.
Let’s be real. I hate baking and always thought a brush would be better at applying powder. A brush is good, but a dry beauty blender is the S**T! When I switched over to this technique after watching Wayne Goss’s video on flawless foundation, my contour and blush were game changing. They didn’t disappear after 30 minutes from the time of application and it set my foundation to a wearable finish. The key is to not slap on a ton of setting powder and to use what you got before dipping in for more product(thanks Wayne!). Even though my other products were powder, nothing built up! Woot! I used BECCA - Hydra-Mist Set & Refresh Powder

Easy (five minute!) makeup for ZOOM Meetings
Doing my makeup and feeling put-together is one of my favorite things, however I don’t always have the time or energy to be able to achieve a full-face beat every day.
Soft and gentle glam, I use this look when I want to feel ~soft~ and glowy, but only spend minimal time on it.
I start with NARS - Radiant Creamy Concealer which I use all over my face, spot concealing redness of pimples, around my nose and lips, tip of my nose, and between my eyebrows. This brightens and evens your skin tone without a full face of foundation. You can use primer if you want, when I do I use a blurring primer like TATCHA - The Silk Canvas Protective Primer or beautyblender - Pore Minimizing Primer which smooth skin and even look good just on their own. I set with BECCA - Hydra-Mist Set & Refresh Powder and then move on to my eyes.
I use one eyeshadow palette with a few colors, two of my favorites are NATASHA DENONA - Mini Nude Eyeshadow Palette and EM COSMETICS - Limited Edition Divine Skies Eyeshadow Palette which have both mattes and shimmers. Important: they don’t patch! This makes blending a breeze. I put a neutral brown in my crease and outer V, then layer a dark brown in my outer v and smudge on my lower lash line. Adding shimmer is optional, but I usually do. For this I just use my finger and swipe on the lid.
All powders for my face bronzer, blush, & highlight applied with one fluffy brush. I apply blush by pinching the powder brush in my fingers to elongate it to place product where I want— my fav is PATRICK TA - Monochrome Moment Velvet Blush which applies smoothly on all skin (prepped or not). I layer with benefit - Hoola Matte Bronzer in a 3 shape, and finish with whatever glowing highlight i feel like. In this image it’s OFRA - Nikkietutorials Everglow Highlighter
Brow filling is optional, but brushing them up with a gel helps you look awake and youthful with little effort. Finish with mascara and a tinted lip balm or moisturizing lipstick like Glossier. - Generation G Sheer Matte Lipstick or EM COSMETICS - EM Cosmetics Lip Cushion and you’re ready to go in less than ten!

Hippie Halloween Makeup on Bestie 🥳
This year I didn’t dress up as anything. BUT.
I had a lot of fun doing makeup on my best friend who’s going to dress up as a Hippie!
I love the blue under eye for this look. It really pulls everything together! Close ups are in photo 2 & 3! Photos were taken outside in natural light along with a ring light with my phone 😊
For her face and skin, she has combination skin with an oily T-Zone. The other areas of her face are dry. The foundation we used is a medium coverage and is great for those who don’t have apparent redness on the face.
For the eyeshadow I used:
VISEART - Grande Pro 3
For accessories:
KINNO - Imitation Gold Leaf Schabin Flakes
And Dollar Store Stickers
For the face:
N°7 - Stay Perfect Foundation SPF 15 and a mixture of color that I used to adjust to her skin color
WAYNE GOSS - The Weightless Veil Blush Palette in coral rose
NYX - Can't Stop Won't Stop Setting Powder

Soft Glam with Anastasia Beverly Hills 😍
I thought I would share a clear photo of what is my Go-to routine for daily makeup 😊
Believe it or not, I actually prefer not to put on foundation if I’m out and about. I LOVE just going out with a little concealer, some lashes, eyeshadow, and lipstick. I don’t put on foundation because love my cheeks because they’re naturally rosy. I also really appreciate the dimensions of my face.
I thought I would show this photo because
1. I love how my eyeshadow looks. It’s hard to sometimes get my camera to show the eyeshadow colors for what they truly are. This eyelook is amazingly soft and wearable with some awesome dimension.
2. I want to normalize “nice photos with blemishes”. It never really occurred to me that some people really get down on themselves when they take a good photo and become discouraged when they see one or two blemishes. I feel like if I can show that I can embrace mine, it can help others embrace theirs 😊
For this look I used:
ANASTASIA Beverly Hills - Soft Glam Eyeshadow Palette
3CE - Velvet Lip Tint

MILK FLEX IS THAT B
basically a full face of milk makeup 😇 honest review below!
Milk MAKEUP - Flex Foundation Stick Was not a love at first use, but now this is my go to! It really came down to how I was applying this foundation stick. I use the cream foundation brush from the milk x Sephora set. I’m just gonna day, YA NEED IT.
+ easy application ( brush, fingers, sponge )
+ medium buildable coverage; little goes a long way
+ natural finish
+ has a smoothing and blur effect on skin
+ great for contour/highlight
+ sleek, sturdy and portable packaging
- tacky finish without being set; I have to set this with a powder or my hair will literally stick to my face.
Milk MAKEUP - Flex Concealer Bought this on a whim! I had seen a lot of people use it and even used it often on clients when I worked at Sephora, but never tried it on myself at that time. Now that I have it and use it, I absolutely LOVE IT!
+ great coverage; natural and buildable
+ minimal to no creasing
+ nice applicator
+ beautiful for under eye or highlighting
Milk MAKEUP - Blur + Set Matte Loose Setting Powder I’ve been using this powder since it’s launch day! My absolute favorite! So much product. It lasts forever.. I mean almost lol
+ translucent shades; light - *medium*- deep
+ nice consistency and texture
+ no cake face!
+ keeps any glow you’ve applied prior. Not too matte.
+ blur and smoothing effect
+ great packaging with a snap lid + screw on lid
+ great for travel
+ good for baking and lightly setting the face
- sponge it comes with is “meh”
- if you apply too much you will be VERY matte
Milk MAKEUP - Flex Highlighter I’m honestly not big on highlighters, but wow I love this one! I thought it would be too heavy and blinding, but it is very buildable. I’m wearing the shade BLITZED
+ sleek and sturdy packaging; perfect compact mirror
+ nice color range
+ buildable! Not too heavy unless you want it to be!
+ soft and subtle glow
+ creamy and soft texture
+ minimal pan fallout
AND that’s my honest review for these milk products!

Makeup mistakes: choosing the wrong shade
I spent the longest time not really understanding (or caring) about makeup, especially when it came to choosing a face makeup product. I like very light coverage, but was having trouble finding something that suited me. I finally settled on It Cosmetics CC Cream. This is a rather full-coverage product as far as CC creams go. For the longest time I was wearing this product in a shade that was about two shades too dark for my natural skin tone. If I had just fake tanned it looked okay, but any other time it was WAY too dark, especially against my neck and chest. I was just really lazy and did not want to take the time to go to a store in-person and figure out which shade was right for me. Once I finally did, it was a total game changer. My whole face looked so much better, and my makeup looks were so much more natural. So the moral of the story is, take that extra time to find your correct shade! It makes all the difference! #CheriePartner

24 hour coverage foundation
Been using becca 24 hour coverage foundation in the colour fawn as my undereye highlight and my base has been even more flawless than normal. When they say long wear they mean it !
Too Faced Born This Way foundation and concealer
I’m honestly so impressed by both of these products!
Too Faced - Born This Way Natural Finish Foundation has such a great consistency! This product is very hyped in the beauty community so I had to see for myself! I’ve been using this for a little over a month now. I think this would be good for all skin types and if you have oily skin I would just recommend using a matte primer and set your face with powder.
Too Faced - Born This Way Super Coverage Multi-Use Concealer This is one of the more moisturizing concealers I have tried and I love the texture! This has great coverage so be sure to only use a little bit to avoid any cakeyness. This product is also very hyped and I’ve seen a lot other beauty bloggers recommend it. I have been using this for about a month. I would recommend this to all skin types and I think this could be especially good for more mature skin since it has more moisture and therefore won’t cling to fine lines and wrinkles as much.
Too Faced-Born This Way Natural Finish Foundation
my favorite foundation is a cc cream!
it Cosmetics - Your Skin But Better CC Illumination with SPF 50+
The It Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC Cream is my absolute go to foundation, I initially bought it to be a light coverage every day wear base and just fell in love, I haven’t found a better one since!!
For reference, I have naturally pretty clear skin but often get discolouration, red patches, dark circles and lil brown spots. I have an oily forehead and dry cheeks so I use the milk makeup face oil on the lower half of my face before applying my makeup.
Pros
Foundation is smooth and creamy, gives full coverage without looking cakey and dry
Can look beautiful and illuminating without powder while also looks smooth after setting down and doesn’t crack around my smile lines
Has SPF50 and doesn’t look ashy!
The tubes last AGES, I’ve gone through one and a half in two years
The coverage lasts for a long time, I wear it out clubbing and I come home still beat
Cons
The shade range is absolutely abysmal, I’m lucky that it doesn’t affect me but I had to take a star away nonetheless
A bit on the pricey side but for how long it lasts I’ve found it to be worth it
