Natural Flawless Foundation


Hey Y'all!
From the looks of it, we are getting more and more pops'! Give us a follow on our insta @20who and we will give you a follow as well!

The Look: On Weekdays I like to have a really natural, flawless, fresh, healthy look. I want something that doesn't look like I'm trying too hard or wearing a lot of makeup. What I want is a neat and finished look. If this sounds like something you would like then read on girlfriends and guyfriends! .

Weekday Tip: I do not like waking up in the morning, so I try to make things as easy as possible for myself. On my vanity I keep a bin that ONLY holds my weekday make-up. I have so much random makeup that I can spend literally five minutes looking for a single item.  This has simplified things greatly.

The Makeup: I got a huge makeup haul last weekend and I feel it has really changed my weekday makeup look. I just felt I wanted to change it up a bit recently. I'm sort of liking a different look these days. I am a very pale person, and I find myself accepting that lately, and going for a more natural (for me) finish. Talk to me come May though.... I'll be elbows deep in bronzer.

Here is a little shout out to my NEW makeup that I use daily, and a lil' tutorial of how I do my Day look.



My Flawless Simple Natural Looking Face Makeup
Good Morning!
Step by Step:
First I start with my Smashbox Photo Finish. If you want to hear me talk more about this product click here.
Next I dot my Bourjois Healthy Mix Gel foundation around my face. I just got this foundation, so I'm still figuring it out. So far I find that it gives me a super natural look. Because of this, this is def a foundation that needs to be touched up with powder at some point throughout the day.... or just call it 'dewy' and rock it. I am the shade 52 Vanilla.



After dotting the foundation, I use my Elf Studio brush to blend it all in. I never thought I would go without my beauty blender, but for this formula I think... Thinkkkkk.... I like the brush better. This brush is SO good! It only cost $3 at eyeslipsface.com.....don't let the cheap price fool you! IT IS SO GOOD!
I use my Sephora Concealer Brush to blend in the smaller areas like my nose and eyes. Try not to get too much under your eyes.


Next I use my Instant Age Rewind Concealer by Maybelline to conceal and highlight. I use the same Sephora Concealer Brush to do this.Look at where I put it for a more natural highlight... not Kim K Boom Boom highlight...although I do love that.


 Boyfriend: "You look like a butterfly with that stuff..."

Powder time. I had taken a step back from my usually Rimmel Stay Matte to try out the Bourjois Powder. while it does not keep me matte all day long as the Rimmel does, I feel it makes me less chalky, warmer, and more dewy, which I really like lately. It also smells SO good.



 I would usually at this point reach for my Hoola Bronzer, but instead I have been reaching for my Stila Baked Blush. I use my Quo Blush brush to apply the blush to my cheek bones and the apples of my cheeks.






More highlight please! An old favorite Physician Formula's highlighting pearls. I do this in a C on the outer part of my eye/eyebrow area, down my nose, chin, and center of forehead.
I set the makeup with  NYX Dewy Setting Spray. I like to do this before I do my eyes, so nothing runs.
I usually work under fluorescent lights which are the WORST, so I like to bring a little freshness with a simple, soft, bright eye! Here I am wearing a combo of My beloved Wet and Wild eye shadows, which carry some great pigment and shimmer.
