Thank you!!!! Well i’ve been trying to improve my complexion and have been trying to stay away from liquid foundations and concealers. I feel like they seep into my skin and leave too much behind. These days, if i decide to go without makeup im alot more confident now that my skin has improved. I’ve been using Black Opal Foundation stick in Truly Topaz in place of my concealer on the areas of my face i want to highlight and i mix Beautifully Bronze with Truly Topaz for the perimeter of my face. I apply these cream consistency foundations with my Beauty Blender sponge. I spritz my sponge a good 3-4 times with my water to help evenly distribute the foundation. I find that the sponge soaks up product and in this case that works to my benefit. Had it been liquid foundation i feel it wastes your product. This is my weekend routine. Weekdays i only use the lighter foundation stick in my under eye area and MAC MSF all over my face. I get very similar results! Only way to tell the difference is with flash photography. HOpe that helps, feel free to ask any follow up questions!
