Fall Beauty: Matte Makeup
As the fall and inevitable cooler weather approaches, it is natural to switch up our makeup routine. For warm weather, we were all about minimal makeup: cooler shades, and lightweight, dewy foundation (in darker shades to match our tan). When switching back to a lighter shade for the upcoming season, matte makeup will most likely be on the agenda. Dewy skin for warm weather; matte skin for the winter. Because I wanted to get away from liquid foundation, but didn’t want to go too powder-y (if you saw my makeup bag after I cracked my compact powder, you’d understand), I decided to try something with an in-between consistency.
Lancome Magique Matte makeup is a lightweight, mousse-y foundation that has a silky consistency but goes on matte. My skin is left with a perfect finish; the oil is gone without feeling or looking like a mask of makeup. And a little of this stuff goes a long way. For $37, the jar should last at least throughout the fall and winter seasons.

I was always interested in “mousse” foundations. Would you apply it with a foundation brush?

Carressa,
You could apply it with a foundation brush, sponge, or a blunt-edged contour brush (applied in swirls around the face).
