Covering Trouble Spots to Get Flawless Skin

We all know that I do not have flawless skin! I have been searching forever for a foundation that will cover my acne scars and the Dermablend Leg and Body Cover works great for me! The only problem with it is that it is very mattifying, drying, and it does not give a nice finish to the rest of your face! Also, I do not need a very heavy foundation all over my face, just on my cheeks (my trouble area). I have started using this foundation routine in order to get the coverage I need, but it also allows me to use different foundations for the rest of my face to achieve different coverages and finishes. I have really been loving the results.

First I apply a moisturizer to my face and let it dry for a couple of minutes. I either like the Cetaphil Moisturizer (thicker formulation) or the Neutragena Oil Free Moisture (lightweight and available for all different skin types). Then I apply a primer, either the Ulta Professional Color Corrector Primer (the green one) or the Rimmel Fix and Perfect Primer (this is better for more oily skin). I think use my Beauty Blender Sponge from Ulta and apply my Dermablend Leg and Body Foundation (only in my problem areas).

Then I like to wait for it to set, so I apply my under eye concealer and eyelid primer. I have been using the Physicians Formula Gentle Cover in Yellow and I set it with the Bare Minerals Mineral Veil. For my eyelid primer I use the Tarte Lifted Eye Primer and MAC Paint Pot in Soft Ochre.

After the Dermablend is dry, I use my Sonia Kashuk (found at Target) Synthetic Flat Blush Buffer Brush. I love this for blending and buffing liquid foundation. I used the Revlon Color Stay Foundation (will review soon) in the color Medium Beige.  I apply the foundation all over my face and and I buff it into my skin with the brush! I love this foundation for its finish and staying power! I like the more dewy look it gives, so I like to set it very lightly with my MAC Mineralize Skin Finish Natural in Medium Deep with my Sonia Kashuk Kabuki Brush.
