Okay beauties, I exfoliate and moisturizeon a daily basis, but something isnt right. How can I make my skin look better when I do my face makeup routine. I want to be able to have a nice dewy look some days and some days a nice soft matte face. I already made a thread about new foundations I should get, but maybe my foundation isn't the only problem. Here is the way ny face looks now, when I have done my face routine and I am standing in natural sunlight. I am just not satisfied. Help?!?!?!?!:(

Thanks ladies. I have been wanting to get a mist like that. I have also heard good things about the Nyx one. I will probably either buy that one or Mac Fix+... Know anything about the Mac one?

I think you should try using different face washes? I think your face looks good already though.

A cheek highlight makes everything look amazing. Use a cheek highlight or a blush with a sheen (I just started using maybelline dream fresh bouncy blush)

Apply some mosturizer to your foundation it helps with better application. Use a cream or liquid highly we such as the benefit one or a drugstore alternative is the one from maybelline x

Agree your skin looks great already :-)you could also use a face mask once a week too, I always find a difference after having used one. clay or mud in particular are really great.

@Symone, I have wondered about those bouncy blushes!:) Are they as good as people say they are?

@Cece, thanks doll I will look into the liquid highlighters.:))

@Mhairi, thank you, I will look into some face masks as well! Any recommendations??

I know it's not related but. I LOVE YOUR BROWS!! X.

Haha, thanks, I work hard on them. I literally spend about ten to fifteen minutes on them everyday. I just feel like brows really frame a face, and they can make a look or beep it. lol:))))

Speaking of face masks, the other day I used a self-heating chocolate&orange one. It felt AMAZING! It was kind of messy but when I took it off even my skin looked fabulous!

I think your skin looks great already and I'm so jealous of your cheekbones!

They totally do preach it. I'm so jealous I wish I had time to do that cos I defo would. You also have such a nice face shape you would DEFINATELY suit a Kim kardashain contour look x

Dead sea spa magic mud mask is the best I've used, your skin looks amazingly clean afterwards, now I've found this one I wouldn't change it, highly recommend :-)

Your skin looks nice MaKenzie (: I wouldn't exfoliate everyday though. I agree MAC Fix + is great for a dewy finish. It's worth the money because people have made their own and it know to break people out.

Oh, I don't exfoliate everyday, oops wrong word, I meant wash my face, I exfoliate about once a week. Thanks, I will probably purchase that.:))))

@makeup sis, they are cool. I have toffee cake or something like that lol. I got it on Christmas and I'm just now wearing it. I loveee it now. I put it on with my real techniques stippling brush on the very tops of my cheekbones and it's such a nice sheen with a hint of color.
