The better you take care of your skin the better the makeup will look hands down! I can not say this enough to my clients, but when I say it they get it! lol
It's really this SIMPLE ....
1st - Cleanse
2nd - Exfoliate
3rd - Moisturize
* and if you can add a basic facial once a month to your skin care routine to get rid of toxins that's even better!
Throw some treatments in there if needed ... ex. eye cream, acne, manual exfoliater(scrub), chemical exfoliater, hyper pigmentation treatment, etc ...

Makeup Forever HD Invisible Cover Foundation ....
My Story:
I have been wanting to try MF foundations Invisible Cover and the Mat Velvet + Matifying Foundation for a while to try something different.. Soooooo after work one day I ventured into Sephora for a sample of Makeup Forever HD Invisible Cover Foundation shade #153 and the Matte formula from Sephora. However there are only #16 shades in Matte and I couldn't find a shade to match me I was totally bummed! The HD retails for $40. I applied it with a stippling brush or some people call it a skunk brush because of the white tips of the brush. I also set the foundation with a MAC Select Sheer pressed powder in shade #NC 35. I found that the coverage for me was the same as any other full coverage foundation. I have an oily T-Zone area and I feel like the wear was a little longer than and didn't feel as thick as my MAC Studio Fix foundation shade 40. Which retails for $26.50. I also felt that I looked less shinny in my T area. Which is kinda strange because they are both oil free.
