Fall, the time of year to put aside your shimmery bronzer and time to embrace velvety soft matte skin. Don’t be afraid to go matte…you can achieve a beautiful matte finish without looking like a powdered doughnut. To get the flawless fall matte look, follow these simple steps:
1 The key to this look is to moisturize! Be sure to apply the correct moisturizer for your skin type to ensure the longevity of your foundation.
2 Primer is always the next step in the foundation process, especially for the matte look. Not only can it provide you with essential vitamins your skin thirsts for but it also provides a smooth canvas for your foundation.
3 Use an opaque concealer to camouflage imperfections.
Note
Concealers that are more opaque are great for hiding blemishes, moles, discolorations and are long-wearing.
4 And finally foundation! To create this matte look, use a powder foundation that best suits your skin. Oily skin? Cream-to-powder or pressed powder foundations tend to work the best. Try MAC StudioTech or MAC Studio Fix foundation. Dry skins can wear this look too. Look for a mousse matte foundation. This will provide you with the right amount of moisture for your skin but will leave you with a matte finish. Try Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse foundation.
Note
Apply your foundation with a foundation brush or sponge depending on the form of foundation you are using. And remember to blend, blend, and blend!
5 To perfect the matte look, set with a translucent powder using a puffy powder brush or velvet puff to keep shine away!
