makeup tips | Raveboutit

With summer fast approaching I find that my skin color is changing quickly too. Being Native American I find that I change quite a bit this time of year, its time to purchase new foundation, blush and concealer. It has also blessed me with natural oils to keep my skin healthy and unfortunately lead to breakout and acne scarring. So, I keep that in mind when I buy my cosmetics.

I have recently found a foundation I really enjoy using: http://www.neutrogena.com/product/skinclearing+liquid+makeup.do?sortby=ourPicks

It has a good coverage and contains salicylic acid for keeping my skin clear as I havedealt with acne and have come to find some processes that are working to keepmy skin from breaking out. Right now I am using the natural tan color, I will most likely try the tan which is the darkest shade they make.

I have also been using a tinted moisturizer with an SPF in it and I may continue to use it throughout the summer as it offer a light coverage with a great color.

It blends well and has a nice minimal coverage. I use the darkest shade and find that in the winter when I am at my lightest skin tone it offers a nice bronzer-look. I use it as a primer, alone or with a touch of powder…it looks great anyway you wear it! (this is one of the products I have spent the most on but I really enjoy it)

Another concern I have during this time of the year is finding a good blush, as I can be darker in color I have a difficult time finding a color that doesn’t look like a clown applied my blush. lol. Have any good blush recommendations? Cream blushes sound great but I have yet to play with them to find a nice way to get a good effect.

I have been curious about highlighter vs. light diffused primer, which to pick? I think I will investigate and get back to you on that one. Which will make my complexion look nice without making it too oily or greasy? I feel like being native limits me in this area, perhaps I just haven’t found the right product. 🙂

One last tip I can not leave without mentioning is: http://www.beautyblender.net/sponge.html

I love this sponge for applying foundation and even powder!
