Want Porcelain Looking Skin?

I have found a combination of products that I really like and has made my face feel smooth and finished while avoiding heavy makeup applications. To be honest I'm really lazy with skincare about 50% of the time I do not wear makeup. However I am super selective with what I put on my face. So, here is a little guide to help you achieve that look as well.

About twice a week exfoliate with Image Skincare's Ageless Total Resurfacing Masque mini mask in the shower. You can also mix it with your face wash or you can use it alone and leave the mask on for a few minutes.


It has a nice minty smell and it feels like you just had a facial from your esthetician. Then, follow up with an eye cream and moisturizer, for a moisturizer I'm loving Image Skincare's Vital C Hydrating Anti Aging Serum.


Drumroll please......This next product I think is the real kicker that just evens everything out and makes your face pop. I discovered Benefit's "You Rebel Lite" tinted moisturizer with SPF 15. It's super light and doesn't feel cake-like or mask-like.  Put this on then wait until it absorbs and follow up with a powder applied by a brush and presto!

A make up artist once said to do your eyes first then do your cheeks. So after you've done your eyes, put on a little blush and bronzer combo. Personally I like Chanel's blush because it is good quality and it lasts a LONG time and I like to use Benefit's Hoola because again it's not too heavy and I like the quality of the product. 





Honestly I think it's pretty simple and doesn't take a whole lot of time to complete and what's best is it's a super light application and doesn't leave your face feeling like it has a ton of makeup on, which to me feels weird and I follow the credo "less is best". On a final note, everyone has their own way of putting on makeup. I'm not an expert in makeup and skin care, but I know what I like and feel excellent products need to be recognized and shared with others. There are so many options are out there and it can be challenging to find the right fit. xo
