FOTD (1): face makeup of the day

I don't know why I am obsessed with face makeup. The only makeup product  I would buy over and over is foundation--no matter it's liquid, cream or powder foundation. I have never been tired of trying new foundations.

The article is about the 'face make up' of the day. I always study carefully with the foundation performance each day since  climate or skin condition can change the foundation staying power on the face.

Before starting with my foundation, I apply moisturizer with sunscreen, I apply sunscreen everyday for it's the best anti-ageing product. Today I use Olay complete spf 30 daily moisturizer for sensitive skin. It's a little bit cold and dry in Toronto today but luckily my skin is not super dry, so this moisturizer works quite well for me.

I do not normally use primer before makeup and I do not think I need it. Sunscreen is enough. So I usually skip this step. 

Since I have the mood to test out my foundations on both sides of my face, I apply Revlon color stay on left side of my face and Revlon age-defying (old version) on right side of my face. 

I will have a detailed review comparing these two later. Revlon colorstay normal to dry skin seems to offer better coverage than Revlon age-defying. Both of them are above medium coverage. But colorstay is more full coverage in my opinion. They both stay more than 14 hours!! They never transfer! I wore them at 9:00 in the morning and I haven't remove my makeup yet now as I am typing (it's around 11:28 now) and the makeup is still  fresh as if I just applied this morning. Both of them have super good staying power. 


 


Then I use Gurlain  powder foundation as my setting powder. I had a review on it before. I apply very little of it. 


I use Revlon nearly naked powder in light to do a nature contour since it's darker than my skin tone.


I highlight with physicians formula happy booster powder translucent. 

Last but not least, I use CdP cheek color duo as my blush. The blush does not look attractive on the pan, but once you apply this blush on, you get the most natural, healthy and beautiful cheek as if you just finished workout. 



This look is for a very natural everyday look.
