Base Coat Makeup
“there is no immediate miracle product, but this the closest thing to a miracle product that I've ever tried. if you end up with greasy hair, you sprayed too much. you want to try and coat each hair in a very light layer of this product, but don't spray too much and don't spray too close to the roots. my hair is very long and very tangled constantly”
Makeup For Blemishes
“I find its best for hiding dark circles or more so discoloration than a stubborn blemish. I recommend using it with a loose powder of choice if you're looking to cover up blemishes, as the concealer won't hide them all day otherwise”
