my everyday base for hot weather and long days



Since i'm always in college from 8-8, i made sure that my base makeup is long lasting and i do not need to reapply any concealer throughout the day. After i apply my skincare and primer, i will apply a thin layer of my Laura Mercier oil-free tinted moisturizer (shade: nude) to cover some of my redness and its a nice base from my concealer. On good skin days, i will wear this alone and just apply my powder over it. This tinted moisturizer is perfect for good skin days or when you just want to have a little bit of coverage. It is buildable and will not feel cakey even after 3 layers.

For more coverage, i will apply the Estee Lauder Double Wear concealer (shade: 03 Medium). It is a light-medium coverage concealer, but can definitely be build up. This concealer is long-lasting, sweat-proof and it works well for oily-skin too. This concealer works well on both blemishes and under eyes.

To set everything, i use the Revlon Nearly Naked powder (shade: 020 Light Pale). It isnt the best powder for oily skin but it does the job in setting my makeup. I do find that i do get oily throughout the day. So if you are looking for a mattyfying powder, you might not want to choose this. But if you just want something light to set your makeup, this will do the job.


I think that this is a good base for many people as it is lightweight, buildable and long-lasting.
