you a full coverage foundation. Now, most of my foundation routines are full coverage,

even my everyday casual no makeup routines are full coverage, because I have olive skin,

hyper-pigmented skin, under-eye circles that are crazy, and lots of imperfections -- that

probably only I notice. I have a pretty bad -- it's not that bad -- but, for right now

and for most recently, my skin has been really good, so now I feel like it's really bad.

I definitely struggled with acne the most in middle school and in high school. Now,

I definitely feel like if I get an acne breakout, I know why, it's usually something that I

did, like drinking or eating or not working out or stressing or not sleeping enough. Normally,

in these situations, I will hide from social media and from the general pubic, unless I

can't avoid it, but I thought that this time around, I would instead try to help some of

you who could benefit from some of the tips that I use. Yaaaaaaaaaay! I will also teach

you how to contour and highlight, which if done wrong, when you have an acne breakout,

it could make your breakout stand out even more, which you don't want. So I hope you

enjoy this video, thank you so much for watching, let's go ahead and get started. First up for

products, I'm never without my Neutrogena healthy skin primer, this is my favorite.

I never believed in primer, until I started using this, honestly, and what I'll do is

I'll paint on a thick coat -- yeah, not just a pea size, a THICK coat -- all over, especially

on dark and dry spots. And, as you can and will see, it lightens, it brightens, it smooths

your pores and blemishes, even scabs, and -- most importantly - it protects and nourishes

my skin. I honestly feel like this prevents breakouts, and it keeps my makeup on all day

long. Like, I'm convinced it's waterproof, and I honestly can't say enough good things.

I'm gonna grab a spoolie brush to gently flick off any dry skin flakes that have now softened

from the primer. And make sure that that brush is clean, or else you could end up with some

mustaches all over your face. Now for foundation. This is my obsession, Studio Fix fluid. But

rather than using concealer, which can so easily be spotty and require a lot of retouching,

I just brush and build up this full coverage foundation, which covers absolutely every

imperfection. I'll layer it up first in the darkest areas, work my way all over, and then

revisit areas that need it. I do like using a foundation that is one to three shades lighter

than my skin. This helps with hiding dark spots and also gives me a little shortcut

with contouring and highlighting. And I'm sure that there are people watching who are

gonna say that full coverage foundation is what's causing all of my breakouts, which

it's not true, I will save that for another video, but I do wanna say that if you skip

primer and if you're not washing your face, you are going to break out no matter what

you're using, whether it's full coverage foundation, sheer foundation or even face paint, so those

two steps are very important. And no blending brushes here, because we really wanna build

up that coverage. Now for some color, I'm using two different bronzers, because parts

of my skin are dry and parts of my skin are oily. So first up, I'm using a powder on my

cheeks, which have some blemishes. I'm gonna avoid that area, because I don't want to make

spots darker or for the area to look even more bumpy, so I'm just sculpting my cheeks

by going along the outer rounds and then along my jawline. I'm also a nose contour person.

If I'm breaking out here, I will skip this step completely, because I don't want the

bumps to make a crooked line. It's not too bad today though, so I'm gonna go ahead and

do it. As for my forehead, it is super dry and broken out; powder would definitely make

any flakes or bumps stand out even more, so I'm using a soft solid and blending with my

finger, definitely focusing on my hairline and not where there is a lot of irritation.

Now, I do use some concealer, only around my eyes, which are the hardest and biggest

dark spots on my face to cover. I actually call them my panda circles. And you'll see

that I'm pressing instead of rubbing, which will allow for max coverage. I'm gonna go

ahead and apply my blush, which is more of a coral salmon color because I don't wanna

bring out any other pink or redness on my face. And just a little bit here, a little

dab on the apples of my cheeks, and that's it. Last, just for a little extra coverage

and protection, I'm setting my under-eye circles, along with really any other dark spots or

areas that need it with this Studio Fix matte powder, which really makes everything disappear.

So here is the final look. I hope you enjoyed this video, the results! If you have any questions
