Breakouts | The Power of Makeup

Whats up guys!

So inspired by my last post I though it would be super helpful to some of you on how I cover up my breakouts. As I have reached adulthood I have had more frequent breakouts for some reason and I am not sure why because when I was growing up I rarely had pimples and acne and my skin was smooth for the most part. Its not all the time that I have a break out now either, I will go a few weeks with only a few that go undetected under makeup and then all the sudden I will get multiple really bad ones that take a month to heal and when they do they leave scars. Anyway, I thought it would be so helpful for those of you who struggle with acne and maybe don't know how to cover it up.

Here is an Example of a bad day vs. a good day 

Here are the steps that I take to try to apply flawless coverage to cover up the redness and try to get it as even as possible :)

1. Foundation - I love a full matte foundation like Frankie Rose Matte Perfection Foundation

2. Concealer - I have to have a full coverage concealer or i feel redness will peak through and we dont want that so I really like It Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye

3. For powder I usually use a translucent powder from Ben Nye but if im looking for more coverage then what i already have then I go in with another powder and I like Kat Von D Lock It Powder

For the remaining I just finish up with my contour and highlight and blush per usual and do my eyes. I just wanted to mention these products to give a little insight on what I use.

Wet n Wild Photo Focus Foundation Review

Hello Babes!

Today I am letting you know what I think of the new WetnWild Photo Focus Foundation and I know I'm a little late to jump on the bandwagon to review but I've actually been using it for a couple weeks now and I love it so much I had to get on here and tell you guys about it!

I have oily skin especially in my T-zone area and I can go a couple hours and have to make a touch up stop to blot my skin. With this foundation I loved how it wore through out the day and I still had to blot a tiny bit but it was different because even though I was a little bit oily my skin still looked flawless. Thats not even the best part! Its only 5$ and thats INSANE! depends where you buy it from to get it for that and the cheapest I have found it at was my local Walmart.

The Coverage is a medium coverage but if I do two layers I can get that full coverage look and cover any blemish I have going. If you haven't tried this foundation out I highly recommend you try it out!

Another thing id like to mention on how good it covers up is acne! So just recently I had an INSANE break out and im not sure what it was from!:( Maybe a new product or something but I used this foundation to cover it up just recently and it did an amazing job!!

What I Wear to Work

Hi!

My favorite way to dress is to mix casual with business because I think its nice to look classy but still have that comfortable part so your not "too" dressed up. I would totally wear this outfit to work and even to an event because you can't go wrong with black and white.
