Step 1 – Primer

Begin with a primer to assist your other products in staying in place throughout the day. Apply Smooth Affair Primer to even out skin tone and texture, and ensure a smooth canvas.

Step 2 – Concealer

Apply PureMatch Liquid Concealer only where needed. This versatile concealer hides imperfections with weightless, buildable coverage and an undetectable soft matte finish. If you have good skin, skip this step, or use in place of foundation, in areas where you need extra coverage.

Step 3 – Foundation

Next, apply PurePressed® Base Mineral Foundation. This best-selling one-step foundation, concealer and sunscreen blurs lines and nourishes skin with weightless, medium-to-full coverage and a second-skin finish.

Step 4 – Eyes

Next is a quick swipe of a ColorLuxe Eye Shadow Stick. This multi-use cream-to-powder eye stick is for shadow, liner or highlighter. It glides on smooth, sets to a velvety-soft powder finish and blends effortlessly with just fingers – plus it stays on for long wear! Finish off with one of the fabulous clean beauty mascaras.
