I Should Have Known Better

I am absolutely horrified when I see young girls frolicking around town serving dessert on their face. Cake Face is not as delicious as it sounds. It's understandable that the main cause of this phenomena is acne, blemishes and scarring, one of many first-world problems. "Less is more" is an excellent solution to this disgustingly sweet epidemic, but sometimes it's just never enough, because of skin pigmentation, visible bumps and flaky skin (no amount of make up will ever cover flaky skin. EXFOLIATE! EXFOLIATE!) But I have found the holy grail to creating a flawless canvas with the least amount of makeup possible. It's all about creating an illusion.

Lisa Eldridge is an English make-up artist, who has worked with countless models, actors and artists on photo shoots and commercials. She has had covers and spreads in Vogue and other high-end fashion magazines and in her spare time, shares invaluable makeup tips on YouTube. This video titled "Acne Covering Makeup" is absolutely amazing. It is a step-to-step guide on how to achieve the perfect face without piling it on like there's no tomorrow. Have a geeze. Be sure to watch to the end for mind-blowing before and after shots.


Subscribing to Lisa Eldridge might be the smartest thing you did today.
