Now lets get into the good stuff! As most of you know I have been a licensed cosmetologist for almost eight years now and did makeup professionally for Saks Fifth Avenue e-commerce, Estee Lauder, It Cosmetics, weddings and in a salon for events! I love makeup and have enhanced a lot of natural beauty over the years! Learning what works on different skin types and textures is one of my favorite parts of the job. I feel like in those eight years I have really come to know what works for each types of skin. So I want to share my recommendations of a few of my favorite products you can get on sale at Sephora!
You can shop each product by clicking the items in the widget.
My newest and most favorite full coverage foundation is the Hourglass Vanish Stick Foundation. I have the shade “sand” and use it for my face and then bronze with “almond”. I bought a new shade called “beige” for fall and winter. This foundation provides buildable full coverage but does not emphasize pores or cake in my lines. I love it! Watch my first impression here.
My favorite foundation for everyday and one that works on everyone (brides!) is the Make Up For Ever HD. This foundation has been a favorite for 8+ years and I have repurchased many times. I have it in my kit for clients as well. I love the staying power and the medium coverage but also that it looks like skin. It is the most skin like foundation that I own. It does not emphasize my pores or crease on me. I apply this foundation with a beauty blender dry. I do not need to set this foundation (I have dry skin). Powders layer nicely over top and I can use cream products if I want. This is by far the most versatile foundation I own. You can watch a tutorial of me using it here.
The Shiseido Synchro Skin Refreshing Foundation is another foundation that is great for aging skin. If you have fine lines or wrinkles this foundation does not crease and still looks like skin. I haven’t found a shade that matches me perfect like the Make Up For Ever but I still love wearing it. Iapply this with a beauty blender and it also has a medium to full buildable coverage. You can watch my review of it here.
The most used and most repurchased concealer I own is the Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer in “custard”. I love this lightweight medium coverage concealer. I have used this on a lot of different skin types and it always works! I love it especially for aging under eyes. There is a wide variety of shades and its worth the money! You can watch me use it here.
Lately I have been using the Too Faced Born This Way Concealer in shade “almond”. This is probably my most used concealer lately because its more hydrating than the Tarte Shape Tape I was using before. I like that it is full coverage but doesn’t crease. I do not have to set this concealer. This is a great replacement if you are in your late 20’s or 30’s and the Shape Tape is too drying. You can see me use it here.
The Kevyn Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer is the most full coverage concealer I own. Even though it is full coverage it is not cakey and I do not need to set it. I love that it can also be used as a foundation. This is a pro makeup artist favorite! If you have rosacea you can use this over the redness to help conceal before your foundation. I would say this is a top five favorite makeup product of mine.
Thats it for foundation and concealer recommendations! I could talk about makeup all day! Let me know if you have any questions or need recommendations for your specific skin type and if you would like a one on one consolation with me for a personalized makeup lesson I am not taking appointments!
