Two Ways to Wear PUR Foundation

I have never been a heavy makeup person. I’m usually good with a tinted moisturizer, bronzer and mascara. But every now and then it’s nice to glam things up just a bit. I was introduced to PUR Cosmetics last year and have been a huge fan ever since. Their products are super lightweight, affordable and they have everything you need to create the perfect day or night look.

I received the latest goodies from their Bare It All 4-in-1 Skin-Perfecting Foundation and Skin Perfecting brush collections and y’all – they are so good! Because I typically like a lighter, more airbrushed look versus super heavy, this creamy foundation + brush combo is perfect for creating that natural yet still pulled together look.

When I received the new goodies in the mail, like most blogger mailers for beauty products, I received every shade of the new 4-in-1 Skin Perfecting foundation. In the spirit of not wasting all of this fabulous product, I decided to do a little experimenting. I’ve seen a few of my favorite beauty bloggers use a darker shade of foundation than their typical coloring to for contouring. Now that I have my new Skin Perfecting brushes, I couldn’t wait to try it for myself.

I started with a few drops of Light Tan as my base using the larger brush. I then swiped a few dots of the Tan shade right along my cheekbones and used the smaller brush to blend and contour my cheekbones and around the outer edges of my face. You could even use one of the more fair shades to do some highlighting but I don’t think I’m quite that sophisticated!
