Okay maybe not that huge, but for me it´s huge.
I have been on a long journey for the perfect foundation for my skin. Not only should it look as though I´m not wearing foundation after I have applied it on my skin, but I also want to avoid breakouts after removing the foundation.
And I have tried EVERY drugstore product out there; We´re talking Rimmel, Maybelline, MaxFactor and every single time their foundations have disappointed me. I´m not one for buying expensive makeup...DRUGSTORE RULES...but when I learned that the danish mall called Salling had 25% on all MAC products I simply had to buy some. And so I did.
First I was shocked about the small amount of money I actually ended up paying, but the service I got was all worth giving a little more money. Did I find the perfect foundation? Yes! I have now owned my MAC products for two days now and I can´t stop using the product called Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation. Not only does it make my skin look flawless, but it feels light and you have to get REALLY close to notice that I am wearing it. I LOVE IT! It´s easy to apply and I have not had any new breakouts since I have used it. NOTE! I tend to breakout REALLY quickly after applying foundation, which is why I only use foundation at special events. But that´s going to change now. Now I´m going to have flawless skin everyday and I love it.

The Natural Beauty
When you don´t know what makeup look to wear, opting for the natural makeup look is always a sure win. Even though it´s not a dramatic look, it is a look that suits every face shape and color.
The products that are used for this look, are products that should be in every girls (and of course also some guys´s *wink wink*) makeup collection.
Step 1: Always make sure that all your old makeup is removed, before applying new makeup on your face. Trust me, even though you might have scrubbed your face the night before, there will always be small amounts of makeup on your face the next morning. Therefore, cleanse your face with some Bioderma makeup remover. Bioderma is a sensitive makeup remover, that every makeup artist swears to.
Step 2: Then apply some concealer on the necessary spots on your face, e.g. under your eyes, in your t-zone and around your mouth. If necessary this step is good to repeat after applying foundation.
Step 3: Then apply your foundation. If you want to apply it with a brush or with your hands, it´s really up to you. Just remember, that if you apply it with your hands, clean your hands with water and sanitizer. Otherwise you might wake up with unwanted spots on your face the next morning...aaand we gurlz don´t like our spots...If you want to add more color to your face, adding a splash of bronzer a millimeter under your cheekbones is the way to go.
Step 4: Since you applied concealer around your eyelids, using a eyeshadow primer is not necessary. I always use the Naked 2 palette from Urban Decay for my natural look, but you might have a different palette. Start with a light natural color (Foxy) all over the eyelids. Then apply a darker brown color (Snakebite) on the outer corner of the eyelid and softly blend it in and up of lid. In the end add a light, pinkish, shimmer color (Bootycall) on the inner corner of the eyelid.
Step 5: Then apply eyeliner, either brown or black, depending on how natural you want to look. Brown eyeliner makes it look more natural. In my example I went for a thin line of eyeliner, however I daily make a thick line, because I like the 50´s natural look. And add mascara, again you can choose between black or brown. I always apply one coat of mascara, wait for a few seconds and then apply a second layer. It gives fuller lashes, instead of having to wear fake ones.
Step 6 (not necessary): If you want you can apply some nude lipstick, I really like the lipsticks by Kate Moss for Rimmel. Aaaaand you can finish the look by adding some brow gel on your eyebrows, however not everyone does that, but I thinks it gives a nice touch to the look.
And here´s the finished look:
