1. How to Cake Your Face like a Pro How to Cake Your Face like a Pro Who doesn’t adore some good base? But rumors have it that only expensive foundations that are high end, high priced, and super fancy, can help us achieve what we are looking for; this is actually nothing but a myth. Yes, we do love treating ourselves with expensive makeup and everything every once in a while. Does it feel good? Yes. But is it necessary to achieve a flawless base? No. Drugstore brands have been stepping up their game recently by releasing some remarkable makeup products that are both affordable and high quality. This means that you can now get your hands on multiple makeup products that you desire, especially in Pakistan, in your nearest stores and all trusted online shopping websites in Pakistan. So, here are our tips and tricks alongside our favorite affordable products to achieve that flawless base you have always wanted: 1.Prime it Priming your skin prior to foundation application means you are preparing your skin for the layer of base you are going to be putting on. It’s like a protection yet still an optional step, some primers can change your makeup game entirely. Our favorite is the Diana of London Mattifying Gel (buy it here). This is perfect for Pakistan’s hot and humid weather as it keeps your skin shine-free for a longer period of time and prevents your foundation from separating from the oil and sebum. 2.Use the correct foundation type Everyone has a different skin type like oily, combination, dry or normal. Similarly, there are multiple types of foundation available in the market made to suit all different skin types. Therefore, it is important to first identify your skin type and then choose your foundation accordingly. For example, if your skin is more on the oily side, try using L’oreal Infallible Pro-Matte foundation (buy here). This is by far one of the most raved about drugstore foundation for oily skin types and we’re sure it is going to look great on you too.

2. 3.Powder it away This is a crucial step especially if you live somewhere where it’s hot and humid. Setting your face with a powder (loose/set) is essential to prevent your foundation from budging throughout the day. Try using powders like Glamorous Face Twin Cake (buy here) if you want to double up on the coverage whilst setting your face as well. The key is to set all the oily areas first and use a dense brush to do this. Then set your entire face lightly using a more fluffy brush. This works wonders, guys! If you have not already incorporated this step into your makeup routine, you need to try it now! It’s a game changer. 4.Mist, mist, mist Try a setting mist at the end of your base routine. This could be any type of mist. Urban decay makes some top sellers but some drugstore brands like L’oreal, Mua (buy it here) and Essence have come out with them too. These will help prolong the perfect makeup look for the entire day. It’s an optional step but can be a game changer for those who want their makeup to stay on point. They come in many variants like illuminating (for dry skin types) and mattifying (for oilier skin). So there you have a perfect base for the rest of your makeup to sit on and look absolutely gorgeous all day every day.
