Achieving a Flawless Complexion

Okay, girls,
  I have found the secret to an amazingly flawless complexion.



  You know how I did a post a while ago on foundation and how I was becoming a believer in it?  Well, I now have something else that I can not live without because of the HUGE difference it makes in my overall look.  It's the difference in looking nice verses amazing.  Actually, I would say that it's the difference in looking airbrushed without needing an airbrush system.

How to achieve all that you might ask?  With one, simple, step: Smashbox Photo Finish Primer




I picked up this primer when I was waiting in line at Sephora and immediately loved the way it felt on my skin.
Initially I decided to try a primer because my skin has been different lately - I don't know if it's pregnancy or the fact that it's winter (or age!) but my pores seem bigger and easier for my foundation to accentuate rather than conceal.
This primer does not disappoint!  It's lightweight but silky smooth and will make any foundation just glide over your skin without settling into any lines or pores.  Every time I wear it, I LOVE the way my entire complexion looks smooth, soft and completely blended.  You still look like you have makeup on but it makes it less noticeable and more like you just have amazing skin.

Just like it took me a while to become a believer in foundation, I never spent money on primer because I thought it was just an extra way to blow money.  But primer isn't just about extending the life of your makeup (it will make it stay on longer).  It lays the perfect foundation and canvas for the rest of your makeup to sit on.  It will also cause you to need less foundation because it will spread way more easily.

This primer can be used with any kind of foundation although I am partial to using it with liquid foundation because the primer is a liquid and I think they blend the best together.

I promise you will not be disappointed!

XOXO
Joy
