I have said it before and I will say it again... while I love wearing makeup and the confidence it gives me, I'm no pro when it comes to picking out shades or knowing the best way to apply it. I just want simple solutions that work great with little time investment. You won't find me putting on eyeshadow for 15 minutes. I'm also really passionate about finding safe products that don't contain potentially harmful ingredients, parabens, mineral oil or fragrance. My skin tends to break out easily so I want to know that the makeup I am wearing isn't going to cause me to breakout from bad ingredients.
The Beautycounter Flawless in Five set is EASY to use and also contains SAFE ingredients so that I can put minimal effort into my beauty routine and still feel confident! If you buy the whole set together you can save 20% or I linked to products individually below as well. Plus each set is totally customizable so you can choose the shades that work best for you!
You can see the full video of me applying these products on my IGTV here - so be sure to watch that! Then I will outline the easy steps and what shades I use below...
Step 1: Tint Skin Foundation OR (NEW!) Dew Skin
Tint Skin is simple full coverage foundation gives a beautiful and glowy finish to my skin. I like to apply it with a foundation brush but you can use a beauty sponge too! I wear shade: LINEN. And now you can also choose my FAVORITE foundation which is the Dew Skin foundation. It's more sheer/dewy look with a built in SPF20. I wear shade: #2
Step 2: TouchUp Skin Concealer
A little goes a LONG way with this product... I find I need the smallest bit to cover my under eye area. I also have found that one shade lighter than what I thought would work is the best shade for me. I wear shade: FAIR.
Step 3: Satin Powder Blush
These blushes are SO beautiful! You can choose any color you like but my favorite is NECTAR - it's a solid dupe for the NARS Orgasm blush and looks beautiful on.
Step 4: Brow Pencil OR Brow Gel
Next up for your brows you can choose between the brow pencil and the brow gel. I LOVE both but it's up to you which you prefer. I usually touch up my brows each morning with the brow pencil and save the brow gel for date night or events. I wear shade: DARK (pencil) and MEDIUM or CLEAR (gel).
Step 5: Volumizing Mascara
It's hard to find a great mascara that is free from potentially harmful ingredients. I like the "volumizing" mascara from Beautycounter because it's buildable and goes on easy.
Step 6: Lipgloss
These are the only lip glosses I wear. And yes, that sounds dramatic, but it's true! Just think how many times you put lip gloss on and then it gets on your Starbucks cup/straw or you lick your lips?!?? I mean, as women, we basically eat our lipgloss. Gross, but true. Don't you want it to be good ingredients!?!? I wear shade: Bare Shimmer (shown here) or Peony or Dahlia or Fig for fall.
Again, don't forget you can get the entire set for 20% off and it's fully customizable with your choice of shades or you can but the individual pieces as you like. Looking for more? There are add on sets with eye liner and eye shadows here too!
Feel free to ask any questions - I'm happy to help!
