Basic Foundation + Skincare Routine Video

One thing people ask me about is my skincare and what I do to maintain a clear face.  Recently, I've been using a few different products that has become staples for my daily skincare and foundation routine.  By cleaning, exfoliating, and using a facial moisturizer, I've been able to prevent dry flaky skin during these colder months.  These are my must have product recommendations for skincare and foundation routines.

What I Used

Murad ® Essential-C Cleanser -Filled with Vitamin C, I use this cleanser to brighten and hydrate my skin daily
Sonia Kashuk Limited Edition 10pc Brush Set - Facet-nating - Inexpensive and great quality, these brushes are perfect for a novice or professional makeup lover.
M·A·C 'Prep + Prime' Fix+ Finishing Mist - I spray this on my brush before applying my foundation to create a dewy foundation appearance.  Its also great to mist over a full face of makeup to prevent a cake face look.
Lancôme 'Cils Booster XL' Super Enhancing Mascara Base - My current obsession!  This makes my fine eyelashes really standout and pop.
EOS Visibly Soft Coconut Milk Lip Balm - Daily essential during cold months to keep my lips kissable and moisturized.
M·A·C 'Studio Careblend' Pressed Powder - I use this to set my liquid foundation so it will remain all day.
M·A·C 'Studio Fix' Fluid Foundation SPF 15 - Waterproof foundation that I can wear sheer or full coverage which works great on my combination oily skin.
Bobbi Brown Hydrating Face Cream - Perfect to lock moisture in after I clean my face plus keeps under my eye hydrated.
Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 20 - Very lightweight but medium coverage that I can wear alone, or paired with powder PLUS it has SPF 20 to help protect my skin.  *tip: buy two, one in a lighter shade so can double as concealer too.
