The Beauty Guru: Beauty Complexion Favorites for August
We are often asked what our favorite beauty products are. So I am going to try to update a monthly list of our beauty favorites. This month I am featuring beauty favorites to optimize your complexion!
Skincare is the basis of your beauty regimen. Be sure that you have a good skincare regimen that will give you this foundation and it will effect the overall look of your makeup. This month's recommendation for skincare is Ole Hendriksen (@OleHenriksen).I love this natural skincare brand! It combines products that deliver effective ingredients and smell wonderfully. This brand truly makes you feel like you have brought the spa home with you. My favorite products are "The Truth Serum Collogen Booster", "Sheer Transformation", and "Invigorating Night Gel". This set will seriously transform the look and feel of your skin!

The next step in your beauty regimen is the primer. This is used after skincare and before your foundation. The purpose of a primer is to fill in fine lines/wrinkles, pores, and hold on to foundation color. This dramatically improves the performance of your foundation. My favorite primer is Smashbox (@smashboxartists) Photo Finish Foundation Primer. Color correctors are also another important beauty product for many people. These are used to correct imperfections in your skintone. For example, if you have redness in the skin then you would use a color corrector to balance out the redness. I also love that smashbox has combine the foundation primer with a color corrector. This elements an extra step with color correction is neccessary. After using this product for many years I still love the way that it leaves the skin looking all day and the feel of the product is amazing!

The next step in acheiving the perfect complexion is foundation. Searching for the perfect foundation for your skin can be a life long search! I have tested and tried a countless number of foundations in my years as a makeup artist and very few have met my standards! One of my go to foundations is (@MAC Cosmetics) MAC's Pro Longwear Foundation. I have used this product both on myself and many of my clients.I have used it for many photoshoots and weddings and I love that it last through busy events like this. It delivers the perfect amount of pigment that gives you the coverage and you need. It doesn't leave you feeling like you are wearing a mask!

The last step that may be needed to even out complexion is the concealer. There are a countless number of concealers out there! One of my favorites comes from a smaller makeup company called theBalm (@theBalm). I love the cute packaging that this brand has! In addition to this they have an amazing concealer called TimeBalm. Not only is this an amazing concealer, it also has an anti aging component! A little goes a long way with this product. The consistency and pigment and wonderful. After applying your foundation if you still have blemish, uneven tone, age/pigmentation spots, dark circles or tired eyes then apply a dab of TimeBalm concealer! My best practice when applying this concealer is to slightly tap it on with your concealer brush. www.thebalm.com/makeup/timebalm.htm
