Now that 2014 has ended and you have tried and tested many products it’s time to sit back and decide what has worked, what hasn’t and what should be added. My Face routine has changed maybe 3 or 4 times and all happened in 2014, I must confess I did not really have much of Face routine prior to 2014 or shall I say blogging. I used to just wash my face with whatever was in my bathroom or whatever worked for my mother. After I started blogging I started seeing how different people did theirs and thought why not me.
Last year I also introduced you to some amazing products I have been using like the OZ Naturals serums and eye gel and other Vitamin C serums which so far has worked wonders for me. Today I wanted to share with you a new routine I will be trying out for 2015 on top of my current Face routine. If you are like me and do not really wear makeup as much but want to have a flawless skin foundation routine when you do then try these steps below.
Step 1 – Erase pores
I got my first test of benefits porefessional last year when I got it as a freebie from my UK Cosmo magazine and I have not looked back. I do not have that many pores but the little I have have been taken care of.
Benefit Cosmetics – The POREfessional 0.25 OZ Pore Minimizing Balm – $12.78, 5.48 shipping – Available at Fullfillment By Amazon
Step 2 – Prime skin
I have tried countless primers and most have been disappointing so the verdict is out on this too. If you know any great primers for oily skin please share

Step 3 – Apply foundation

Step 4 – Blend
I recently purchased a beauty blender and so far not been disappointed.

I love my MAC concealer they have always worked for me but I rarely use concealer.
MAC Cosmetics – MAC Pro Longwear Concealer – NW15 9ml/0.3oz – $32.44, 5.48 shipping – Available at Fullfillment By Amazon
Step 6 – Illuminate
For me Maybelline has always been a hit or miss kind of brand so will see.
Maybelline – Lumi Touch Maybelline Dream Concealer – $5.99, 5.50 shipping – Available at Amazon.com Marketplace
Step 7 – Set
Smashbox is fairly new to me as I usually use ELF or MAC powder to set my makeu

Step 8 – Bronze (Optional step)
Love Too Faced products, for those who love to bronze give this product a try.

Your skin looks amazing.. seems like a lot of products to use on your face. But then again I don’t know, I don’t use anything. I just have a simple wash I do every morning & night.
Mia Myrabev says
Thank you hun, its 7 products which i rarely use excluding the porefessional.
Alysia from My Domestic Dish says
Gah, I’ve seen your photos- you don’t need all this crap!! lol Your skin is beautiful!
For oily skin, I would suggest a charcoal soap. That’ll kick some serious ass and leave your skin squeaky clean without dryness 🙂
Mia Myrabev says
hahaha thank you so much hun, its a lot of products but i dont wear them often maybe once in a blue moon when i have some occasion to attend then i make the effort otherwise its good old bare me.
Tami - This Mom's Delight says
I am looking for some alternatives to what I’m currently using. I can’t afford to pay high prices. Some of these look like they would be better priced.
Mia Myrabev says
Most of these are nicely priced so you looking in right place
Margarita Ibbott says
You don’t actually put all those products on at one time, do you? I love the pore reduction product from benefits. I’ve tried that before. Have you tried the primer from Smashbox it’s pretty good. My favourite concealer remains Clinique. Nothing beats it.
Mia Myrabev says
Yes I put all these once in a blue moon and no i have not tried smashbox primer will check it out
Rebecca Swenor says
These sound like great tips for a flawless skin foundation. I don’t use to much makeup myself but I will have to look into so of these products like the Mac concealer. Thanks for sharing.

I actually don;t wear makeup at all, but that pore eliminator sounds like it is pretty cool for people with issues. I didn’t even know they made such a thing 🙂
Mia Myrabev says
I didnt know about porefessional until last year
Vicky @ the Outback Expat says
Such a great routine, I want to give the pore eliminator a try now!
Mia Myrabev says
Thanks Vicky
Samantha Angell says
The pore eliminator sounds amazing! Like you (used to) I don’t have much of a skincare routine- wash my face with a cleanser, then moisturize and foundation and that is really it for me. So many different products out there!
Mia Myrabev says
That sounds like my normal day routine excluding the foundation as i dont wear it often
Fi Ni Neachtain says
Great routine Myrabev and you use a great mix of products too. I have The PoreFessional and never use it, I’ll have to start. I’d love to try the Stila primer, it looks like such a great product.
Mia Myrabev says
You so need to try the porefessional hun it’s great product
Angelic @ SimplySinova.com says
