Light Foundation for Beginners

The new year is here and I'm ready to see all that it has in store. One of the things I'm looking forward to is trying new beauty products and seeing what new looks I can create with them.

I've been wanting to dabble in wearing a little more foundation this year. I usually only wear foundation for special occasions. But as I get older, I'm noticing skin aging and I desire coverage for dark spots and blemishes. BB Creams and tinted moisturizers are my go to for this type of thing but think I'm ready to try my hand at a light foundation. Nothing too heavy though because I don't like that cake face look.

I'm really a novice and my daughter (the make up guru) told me to blot on the foundation. I'm old school and used to applying it with my hands but I find that makeup sponges like this one make it easier to control how much foundation you put on. Hey girl, I'm learning.

I really love how much the flawless look of foundation makes my lipgloss pop!

The final results. I'm pleased with how I look and I hope to wear light foundation more this year.



How about you? Do you like wearing foundation?
