For a while, I didn't really like the layout and clutter of the blog, and sort of put it off with everything going on in my life. I've decided to completely revamp the website and make some changes, and I'm really loving the way it's looking! I totally forgot how happy it made me to create posts and make this blog beautiful and informative, so I'm committed and ready to take good care of my baby! 

Ok, let's get to the good stuff! A few weeks back, I was too tempted (thanks to Youtuber, Jaclyn Hill) and finally purchased Sigma's F80 Flat Top Kabuki brush. I didn't expect much, since I figured the reason I can't find a good foundation brush must be because of the texture of my skin. But once I received this brush, oh. my. god. I fell in love instantly. This brush is too perfect for liquid foundation. The most flawless, airbrushed finish ever. Blends beautifully and washes out like a breeze. Hence, recently, I simply had to purchase more Sigma brushes.

I'm sure you've heard the rave on Sigma brushes. It is known to be a dupe for the Mac brushes. From the quality of the F80 brush, it's not as expensive as it should be, but let's keep that between us.

I'll post a review on all of the brushes as soon as they dry, as I just washed them earlier. Expect a post around Friday.

Read ahead of the haul!

Let's face it, no one is perfect.. we have all been there & done that.

In this post, i'll show you my tips & tricks to cover up blemishes, breakouts, and dark spots. Let's begin!

Rule #1: Match your foundation

If you want your blemish to be perfectly concealed, use a concealer in the exact shade of your foundation. If you are not using foundation, make sure it simply matches your skin tone.

If the shade is a tad darker or lighter, it will not match and stand out rather than conceal.

I find the L'oreal True Match Concealer - $8.99 works best for me as it hides and conceals blemishes without caking or smudging and fading.

I sometimes find the foundation in the True Match line is enough to conceal my blemishes, without the use of concealer. L'oreal True Match Super Blendable Makeup - $10.95

Rule #2: Precision

I realize that when applying concealer around the blemish, I get worse results. Apply the concealer precisely on top of the exact location of the blemish and tap lightly to blend it inward, rather than around. You can do this using your fingers, or a concealer brush.

Rule #3: Tap, don't rub

Make sure you slightly and carefully tap the concealer onto the blemish. You don't want to conceal the area around the blemish, only the blemish itself. Tapping also results in better concealing, as rubbing will cause it to fade into the skin.

Rule #4: Foundation, then concealer

Apply (liquid) foundation first, then move on to the concealer.

If you were to apply concealer first, the foundation will fade away the concealer which will cause a cakey mess.

You want to apply your foundation first, to create a smooth canvas, and only then conceal the blemishes.

Rule #5: Set with powder

Once you apply your foundation and concealer, let the liquid set for a little while, and then move on to set it with powder. This way it will stay put all day. It is important to set by tapping the powder onto your face, rather than sweeping it across your face, moving the liquid around. Otherwise, this will cause, well, another cakey mess.

I hope these few rules helped you girls to conceal your blemishes and breakouts! Continues washing your face routinely to keep those guys away.
