after you apply your base foundation, do you apply your concealer, then your contour and highlight. or should i be putting my concealer on first, then my base in this case?

[EnKoreMakeup]

yes, conceal everything that needs concealing first -- then base foundation, this should even everything out. then conctour, highlight, and color away :)

hi :)

is contouring,blushing,and highlighting all necessary?

i mean i only want to wear foundation to make my skin even and hide my acne so do you really need to do all that after my foundation?

[EnKoreMakeup]

its not necessary, t just adds more dimention to your look. Great for evening looks aswell. Contouring just makes certain feature pop, like if you want a more prominent cheekbone, or narrower jawline, or forehead, or a more narrow nose. Then you can contour and highlite to achieve those. Otherwise, foundation and blush or bonzer is just fine.

i wish you were my makeup artist!! I wish I had a makeup artist.. *sigh* how much do you charge? :)

some people say you should apply powder in a "3" motion... you know like around the eye to the cheek & then from the cheek to the jaw bone.
