How to get flawless skin

O.k. ladies, if you too have imperfect skin and are looking for a way to have beautiful flawless skin, I know what it takes! It is rather simple really and anyone can do it. All you have to do is paint on a new face. Oh, you may be laughing now, but after you read this product list and procedure, you'll be quoting Sweet Brown, "Oh Lord Jesus.....Ain't nobody got time for that."
And no, this is not my everyday routine, I am lucky if I get in two of these steps, because I am a mom and I ain't got no time for that neither. However! There are times in my life in which I want to look all pretty and I am willing to take a little extra time to do so.......like for weddings, photographs, date nights, or when I just want others to be undoubtedly aware of my flawlessness. That sounded vain. Blame my hairdresser. She gave me this sassy new do and now, I go around like I own the world.
O.k. I will stop blowing smoke and let you in on how to get this done. I recently discovered this technique. I owned and used all these products individually. Some of them, like the bronzer, I use almost everyday and others I bought just to try out for fun, like the BB Cream and E.L.F. coversticks, but recently while getting ready for a wedding, I discovered a routine that got me a lot of compliments so I decided to share that discovery.

Step 1:
Get out the primers. I have been using E.L.F. Mineral Infused Primer $6 and Wet N Wild's Fergie "Take on the Day" Eyeshadow Primer $4.99.
Smear those on your face and let them dry.

Step 2:
Use a BB Cream. This will even skintone. I used Maybelline Dream Fresh in Light Sheer $9.99. It has an SPF 30. Yeah, you are going down damaging sunrays!!! (I haven't discovered a favorite BB cream yet so I will have to report back. Those of you that don't like a lot of make up would probably like this stuff).

Step 3:
Conceal, conceal, conceal. You will probably repeat using these products but start now. BeautiControl Extra Help (approximately $12) is great for really bad complexion days, but I didn't use it today. I used an E.L.F. All Over Cover Stick in Rosy Beige $1 (I also have a cover stick in persimmon that is a good under eye concealer & highlighter in later steps) and Maybelline Age Rewind Dark Circle Eraser/ Concealer approximately $6. Apply to problem areas: under eyes, around nose, red areas and zits.

Step 4: E.L.F. Tone Correcting Powder. $3. This stuff is amazing. Mix colors and apply all over with a bronzing brush or use the separate shades to correct imperfections.

Step 5: Highlight under eye with E.L.F. Coverstick in Persimmon and then apply foundation with a foundation brush. This is where you literally paint on the new face. For this I use Revlon Colorstay Whipped Creme Makeup in shade 200 Sand Beige approx. $12.99. It is a heavy makeup so I only wear this for special occasions. Let it dry before proceeding.

What step am I on?
Step 6: Apply any additional concealer, usually one more time under eyes for good measure and then use E.L.F. Translucent Matifying Powder. $3. Another great E.L.F. product that actually sets your make up.

Step 7: This is pretty much the putting on the finishing touches step. Apply a bronzer. My favorite is NYC Smooth Skin Bronzing Powder in shade 720A Sunny. $2.99. I think it would work for almost anyone.
Last apply your favorite blush. I have been using an E.L.F one $3 and as much as I love my E.L.F. products, I don't really care for it. It is in shade Tickled Pink. It is o.k., but a little too pale and dry for me.

Optional: Step 8: Spray face with E.L.F. Makeup Mist & Set. $3 It contains aloe, Green tea, and Vitamins A, C, & E. This isn't really necessary, but adds a little extra moisture and sets makeup. It just feels nice.
Now, you have to put on the rest of your face like lipstick and eye make up. So, I suggest using Maybelline Color Tattoo in Barely Branded (approx. $6) as a base to start your eyeshadow routine.
