Flawless long lasting foundation routine

Hi Ladies just wanted to show you all how I've been applying my foundation to help it last all day in this Summer heat. Hope you enjoy :)

Step 1:

I apply my concealer first followed by my primer. Some may take I'm crazy for doing in this way but I find that's what works best for me. 

 Step 2:

I spray my foundation brush with my setting spray until it's wet.

 Step 3:

Okay pay attention here. Being that your brush is wet only use half the amount of foundation that you normally would. I've been mixing these two together since one is too light & one is too dark. Being that the brush is wet you will have a dewy look.

Step 4:

If your not into the dewy look like me just apply whichever powder you'd like. 

Step 5:

The fun part now you get to play with blush, bronzer, & highlight.

Ladies seriously using a wet brush really worked wonders for me! I use less foundation & my skin looks flawless. Most importantly I don't have to touch up my makeup during the day & it doesn't melt off. 

Remember: You can use whichever  type of products work best for you. I just showed the ones that go with my skin type.

My review of Sigma's E25, E45, E70, & E55

The E25 blending brush was free with my purchase & I'm really glad they sent me this one. I use it to apply darker shades to my crease. It applies easily & blends all in one. The only downside is after washing this brush the hairs seemed to go a little crazy, but overall It still works great.

The E45 is the Small tapered blending brush. I use this to blend my lid color into my crease & then to blend my highlight color. This brush is truly amazing! Works way better than the one I had from ELF. Held up to a wash just find & still looks brand new.

The E70 Medium angled shading works great for the browbone/highlighting. I love that this brush picks up enough product to get the job done. Held up to a washing.

The E55 shading brush is great for applying color to the lid. Picks up enough color where you can fill your entire lid with just one swipe, unless your going for a darker/heavier look. I also use this to aad darker shadow to my crease. Works great at fitting perfectly into my crease & also the outer "v" area. Held up to a washing.

Overall I'm very satisfied with these brushes & can see the difference that quality brushes make in the application of makeup. 

Can you believe a couple years ago I didn't think I needed brushes, I would just use those sponges that came with the shadows. I've come along way!

my review of the Sigma F05

This brush works great for contouring my nose, jawbone, & cheeks. Also works great at applying blush. I find that it does a great job at perfectly blending the makeup into my skin. Some blush/contour brushes had too much product to the skin causing me to look like a clown, but this brush is amazing. Once again I'm extremely happy with Sigma. The brush is really soft & fluffy. No shedding & holds up after cleaning it.

My review of the Sigma F80

How does it work with Foundation?

I used it for the first time Yesterday & fell in love! This brush applied my foundation evenly & helped offer more coverage, because the foundation stayed on top instead of soaking into the brush. It didn't apply streaky. This brush was so easy to use on the small areas of my face (nose and under my eyes). I didn't have any shedding. I used it with my Revlon Phototeady. Since this foundation as a pump it was easy to apply it straight to the sponge and then onto my face. Super easy & quick

How does it compare to a traditional sponge/wedge?

for as long as I've been wearing makeup I always used a sponge to apply my foundation. After using my brush I realized that the sponge soaks up alot of foundation causing alot of product waste. With the brush there is no waste. My skin is very acne prone so after using my sponge once I would throw it away. That equals alot of money spent on sponges. The brush is only 16 bucks and can be washed after each use. So all in all having this brush will save me money. I won't have to worry about buying sponges & I won't waste any foundation. 

How to clean the brush:

Yesterday after doing my makeup I cleaned my brush with the Sephora brand brush cleaner & it worked really well. My brush didn't lose it's shape or softness. Came out clean & didn't really take long to dry.
