I was wondering what is your preferred foundation to wear when you are taking pictures?
–Jeannie Tran
Hey Jeannie,
Wow! I’ve really been getting asked this a great deal lately (YAY!), so it need to have something to make with the modifications I’ve made to my foundation routine.

The whole shebang’s type of included so, uh, perhaps the very best method to manage this is to just go step-by-step.
1. MAC Prep + Prime natural glow Base Visage
My very first step — the product I utilize as a primer around my skin — has been a essential of my makeup bag for a truly long time. I never, ever avoid this step when I’m going to be taking pics as well as have any type of state in the matter since I best regards see a difference between when I do as well as I don’t.
It just makes whatever foundation I’m using look…better, as well as a lot more natural, as well as mellows out my pores.

There are so lots of different deal with primers out there. I’ve tried a bunch, however one’s my favorite. I believe I’m on my third of fourth bottle now. Jeg liker det så mye.
I like exactly how the formula feels — like a deal with lotion, as well as not like a routine primer just sitting on top of the skin, like the kind that have a great deal of silicone. It’s likewise moisturizing, however it doesn’t provide me breakouts, which is great, particularly this time around of year when my skin gets dry.
2. MAC deal with as well as Body Foundation
KJÆRLIGHET! I’ve written a few articles about MAC deal with as well as Body foundation (I utilize shade C5) since I absolutely like it. long story short: it’s lightweight, a lot more like a tinted moisturizer than anything else, however you can layer it to develop up the coverage. I like that it doesn’t look evident or heavy in pics (you see it utilized on a great deal on motion picture sets), when it dries, it won’t budge.
Seriously, I’ve used this out as well as about on 16-hour days, as well as it’s never caked, streaked or gotten funky.
It does have a dewy, somewhat shiny finish, which I really like for daily wear, however for pics, which is what we’re speaking about here, I set it with a powder to tone down the shine.
3. NARS Radiant Concealer
This is one of the a lot more recent adjustments I’ve made to my routine. I had been utilizing Bobbi brown Stick foundation anywhere I needed a lot more coverage, however I ran out a while back as well as grabbed NARS Pure Radiant Concealer on a whim.
I wear the shade “Biscuit.” I dab a bit on the areas where I want a lot more protection — normally my cheeks, around my nose, around my mouth as well as along my jaw line. then I buff it into the deal with & Body with a skunk brush.
I really like this now to Bobbi Brown’s Stick Foundation, which I still believe is great, however Pure Radiant takes much less time to utilize since it’s much easier to blend into MAC deal with & Body.
Plus, I believe it feels lighter, lasts longer as well as just looks truly seamless in pics.
4. Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat
Another one of my recent changes. Ya know, I didn’t truly such as this the very first time I tried it years ago, however then I saw a new shade, 4.5, at Sephora last month as well as thought, why the heck not? It’s still liked by zillions of people. perhaps I’ll provide it one more shot.
And ya understand what? Jeg liker det. I don’t believe it’s going to cover sufficient for those truly rough mornings when my dark circles have dark circles of their own, however it does a great task a lot of days.
For pics, I believe it’s fab, since it doesn’t look thick or heavy or clear up into my fine lines.
And I like the clean — truly convenient.
I just clean a light layer under my eyes, pat that down with a finger, as well as set it with MAC Mineralize Skinfinish natural Powder in Medium.
5. MAC studio Careblend/Pressed
Dang, this stuff appears like genuine skin! — as well as it doesn’t look as well powdery or cake-y. Been using it for a couple years now. I dust it across my forehead, on my cheeks, nose as well as chin, as well as along my jaw line.
Thanks for the question, Jeannie! HTH.
