Woke Up Like This Foundation

A week ago I did a photo-shoot and hair/makeup for Fashion-nova.com. My model was black and she had lovely skin tone. So there no need to apply a lot of makeup, only to certain areas of her skin. The makeup line I used was for the Photo-shoot was IL MAKIAGE.

This is a powerful, streak-free foundation that smooths and evens the skin with an advanced, innovative formula for a flawless, uniform natural matte finish. It is liquid and wet to apply so you only use it in small quantity.

Upon completion of the application I recommend to let it dry and of course add a translucent powder to lock in. The makeup held well and did not move around. And it was true to tone. BUT use it sparingly during your application of this makeup line.

Woke Up Like This Foundation smooths and evens the look of skin with an advanced, innovative formula that instantly minimizes the appearance of shadows and pores, effortlessly enhances the complexion, and generates a flawless, natural-matte finish. Give it a try.

The brush I used to apply the makeup with was a M.A.C 190S Foundation Brush. Which is A pro-quality foundation brush designed to create a smooth, even finish and a flawless look. I love this brush for my applications. Especially on smooth skin. And I also set the makeup with Studio Fix Pro Set. A ultra-refined loose powder with ultra-clear powder particles that sets makeup, controls shine and instantly absorbs oil with a dimensional matte finish.

This past week I had a wonderful time doing Hair/Makeup/Photography for a Nike advertisement. In my photo-shoot my model has very light skin with medium skin abrasions. I thoroughly cleaned my models skin and applied a light moisturizer. Then applied the foundation to the face. Medium Honey Tan is what I applied with a brush. Careful to use in a sparingly amount. The product is a liquid and if not applied properly it will become very streaky with lines. After the application a immediately applied MAC Finishing Power to set my foundation. It held well throughout the photo-shoot and looked natural. I did not want to apply a heavy look of foundation, eye-shadow, cheek power. Since it was a outdoors photo-shoot. I just want a little coverage and a clean healthy glow to the cheeks, with some mascara and liner. And a natural eye shadow to give a hint of depth and of course eyebrow coverage.

Feather light full coverage, whipped mousse texture with soft matte finish. Pore-less technology erases look of pores & fine lines. It’s so light and matches so well. Fabulous formula and great coverage. A little goes a long way.
