Complexion perfection

Ladies, I am sure that you will agree with me that the most common beauty blunder we make is wearing the wrong shade of foundation. You are either wearing shades too dark or too light, which make the complexion look fake. And yes, finding the perfect foundation shade is like the quest for the Holy Grail.

Dig this, an Australian brand called Becca with an oh-so lovely name features complexion-perfecting products that make it possible for women to experience the un-made-up look.

So, the cool thing about Becca is Skin Perfecting Makeup System for a glowing complexion. First, you need to prepare the skin with a Becca’s Hydrating (for dry skin) or Mattifying Primer (for oily skin), which smooth the skin. Follow up with Becca Luminous Skin Color with SPF 20. As a perfect base, it contains antioxidant vitamins and SPF to protect the skin. Step two is perfecting the skin with Becca Stick Foundation with SPF 30 and Compact Concealer to hide blemishes. Lastly, lock the products on the skin with Becca’s Fine Loose Finishing Powder or Fine Pressed Powder. Now, you get flawless skin with the most natural finish that lasts all day.

Here are some products I love from the wonderful world of Becca that will surely be a staple in your beauty booty:

Best In Glow

I first got into Becca because of the name, of course, around two years ago. My friend just came from a US trip and gave me two tiny samples of the Luminous Skin Color in Cashmere, I was completely and instantly hooked. This multipurpose and ultra-sheer foundation works like a tinted moisturizer that improves the complexion. Plus, it blends really well on the skin and creates a fresh-faced glow that looks and feels completely natural. And oh, it is loaded with SPF 20 that protects the skin against UVA and UVB. Definitely a beauty must-have.

Double Coverage

If you want a concealer that covers the most stubborn skin problems without caking, try Becca Compact Concealer. Two blendable shades provide total camouflage problems. The Extra-Cover shade on the left is perfect for spots and blemishes like scars and birthmarks. While the Medium-Cover shade on the right has a creamy texture to hide under eye dark circles. Just mix, blend and say goodbye to imperfections.

Pretty When Not Pinched

Aside from the foundation another iconic Becca product is the Crème Blush. Just dab this ultimate blush on the apples of your cheeks with fingers to get a natural, just-blushed look. The best-selling color is Turkish Rose, a neutral brownish rosy nude shade. If you want a dual-purpose lip and cheek product, try Becca’s Beach Tint. Named “Best Lip Stain” in Allure magazine’s “Best of Beauty” rundown, this watermelon-scented, oil-free crème lip and cheek stain is waterproof, kiss-proof, and meant to last all day.

At last, we can be flawless in a flash and achieve an immaculate complexion.
