Makeup Routine: My Foundation Routine (Drugstore Edition)


Hello beauties, for today's blog-post I decided to show you my foundation routine, using only drugstore products, since, In my opinion there are many (like seriously many) good products out there which may be put in corner because of the high end products. 
You have to remember that buying a high-end product doesn't necessarily mean that you are buying a quality too, so you should think twice and you may also try to find a dupe for that exact product before splurging your money on that awesome foundation you've recently seen in your favorite high-end product shop ;) 


 

1. Before I start with applying my makeup I always make sure to wash my hands or at least use a hand-sanatizer (My favorites are the one from Bath&Body Works) to prevent any possible source of bacteria coming to my skin and making unwanted blemishes/acne.

2. I start of my foundation routine with a freshly-washed and moisturized skin. As for the moisturizer, I     use the L'Occitane Milky Lotion with Anglica.


 

3. After the moisturizer has set, I apply a light layer of Garnier ''Perfect Blur'' Primer, right onto my T-zone area so I would be sure that my foundation won't slide around as well as to make my pores less visible.

4. For my foundation, I use the Bourjois ''Healthy Mix Serum'' (in a colour ''52 Vanille''). I really like it since it gives very natural finish, and is suitable for dry and oily skin. It's very lightweight, and it stays on all day without being greasy or oily.
-I apply it with a damp Beauty blender which helps me to achieve that flawless finish with a healthy glow. The Beauty Blender, in combination with a Healthy Mix concealer and foundation is perfect if you have dry patches from acne on your skin since it glides over those problem areas and you can say bye,bye to the ''Bad skin day''.




5. As for my concealer, I loove using Bourjois ''Healthy Mix Concealer'' (in a color ''51 Light Radiance''). It contains fruit extracts, so it gives a beautiful radiance to the skin and it doesn't crease either! It's one of the best concealers I've ever tried. 


6. For the blush, I use the Bourjois Blush (in ''Rose de Jaspe'') which is a beautiful, pinky/peachy color. It's formulated without parabens, which provides a great benefit for your skin.
I like to apply it with my Real Techniques Buffer Brush.

 

7. I usually don't wear a setting powder on top of my makeup as my skin is on a bit drier side now, but I like setting it with Avene Thermal Water facial spray. It helps with soothing and calming the skin as well as refreshing it.



And that's it, those are the only products I use on a daily basis and that I find work amazingly well, stay on and are quick to use when you are in a rush :)


Love,
Bella
