Let me just start by stating that I have try skin. I have rough patches and I even get lines in my face due to dryness, it’s not age, I promise. Most of the time I can not even use foundation because the dryness and lines will eat it up and just worsen. An alternative to foundation that provides moisture and coverage is a tinted moisturizer. It’s like a foundation and moistizer in one. Please note that this coverage is rather sheer depending on what brand you purchase. I recommend Stila and Laura Mercier for more coverage. I always need moderate to full coverage due to redness and the occasional blemish.

To achieve good coverage without a greasy finish start off with a clean face, moisturizing is a good step as well as applying a primer but both are optional. Put on an even coat of the tinted moisturizer preferrably by Stila or Laura Mercier as those two provide the most coverage of tinted moisturizers. Applying with fingers is the easiest, blending with a brush works well after applying with fingers. After you have applied your tinted moisturizer, apply concealer; the one I am currently loving right now is Boi-ing by Benefit, I am the lightest color. To pull everything together and achieve a smooth finish apply a powder to set the look and make it last longer. You could use the Mineral Veil by Bare Escentuals or Pressed Powder by Stila. To achieve even more coverage put a mineral foundation from Bare Escentuals or any drugstore alternative and place that over the tinted moisturizer and concealer; this will set everything and also allow for more coverage.

Keep being gorgeous!
