BEFORE
The best way to get a fabulous makeup look is to start off with a clean base. Cleanse and moisturize your skin first before you apply anything. I like to do a deep cleansing mask or try the oil cleansing method. For these two looks I have chosen to try out vegan based products by Laws of Nature Cosmetics®. They are an organic and all natural mineral makeup company that prides themselves on serving women of color and all of our beautiful shades. I really love their products because they are non-toxic and chemical free. Who could ask for a better combination! These products not only enhance my beauty, but are also good for my skin!
Apply Foundation and Concealer
I was interested in how the look and consistency of the mineral based makeup would feel on my skin, and I actually enjoyed both aspects. Using both the creme and powder variations of Foxy Finish™ Mineral Foundation in rose beige, I was able to create a beautiful even complexion on my face. Myia suggests when applying mineral based liquid foundation and/or concealer to use “a dense powder brush in circular motions for a flawless airbrushed look.” I personally like to pay much attention to my under eye area to give me a younger fresh face lift. I already have thick eyebrows so I don’t do much filling in, but I like to brush and groom them where necessary and add a little filling in where I see fit.
