Foundation is the base of every great makeup look. It can make or break your entire look if not done correctly. Finding out new beauty tricks when it comes to applying your foundation can be great, but once you have the correct beauty tips for applying foundation, you may not need any tricks.

1. Start with a clean canvas: Your foundation will only look as good as the skin underneath, so maintaining a consistent skin care routine is key. Right before applying foundation, it’s important to cleanse your skin to help prevent clogged pores and remove any dirt that may be dulling your natural radiance. Next, gently exfoliate your skin to sweep away any dry, dead skin cells that may cause foundation to go on unevenly or look flaky. Finally, apply moisturizer; foundation sinks best into hydrated skin.

2. Take the time to prime: A primer may add an additional step to your makeup routine, but it will go a long way to ensure that your foundation looks flawless because it turns your skin into a perfectly smooth surface.

3. Be conservative: Always start by applying just a little bit of foundation, and then add more until you have just the right amount of coverage. The goal is to only apply foundation where you need it, so that your skin still looks like skin. If you have to apply foundation all over your face for it to look even, then you’re using the wrong shade.

4. Work from the inside out: Concentrate the foundation in the center of your face where redness and blemishes tend to be more problematic. Apply just a dab of foundation on each side of your nose, and in the center of your forehead and chin, then blend outward. After it is all blended in, pinpoint any other areas of the face where blemishes are visible and apply an additional light layer of foundation in those specific areas.

5. Stipple, don’t rub: Whether you’re using a foundation brush or your fingertips, apply foundation in a stippling motion, which means gently tapping it into your skin. Avoid any wiping or rubbing motions because that will only push the foundation around and cause streaks.

6. Don’t forget your ears!: Often overlooked, your ears are a part of your face, too. If you’re prone to red lobes, lightly sweep your foundation brush over them so that they blend in with the rest of your face.

7.Set it and forget it: Most people associate powder with a matte, cakey look, but dusting a silky loose setting powder, like Blended Loose Powder, over your foundation will ensure it won’t budge without dulling its finish.

Look for BlackGirlSunscreen on Your Next Trip to Target!

BlackGirlSunscreen has now become the first black indie sun care brand to have full time placement in a major retailer, Target.

BlackGirlSunscreen was created in 2016 for the “need of melanin women to have a sunscreen brand that caters exclusively to them.” Many people falsely believe that people and women of color don’t need the extra protection from the sun that sunscreen provides, but there is still a major risk for burns, sun damage, and skin cancer for people of all skin types.

The creator, Shontay Lundy, wanted to be able to go into a major retail store and find a sunscreen product made specifically for her, as well as other black and brown women. After years of dedication and hard work, BlackGirlSunscreen has now become the first black indie sun care brand to have full time placement in a major retailer. You can pick it up at your local Target today! The formula is cruelty free, vegan, reef safe, and contains a high SPF of 30. It is also infused with natural ingredients such as avocado, jojoba, cacao, carrot juice, and sun flower oil that make it perfect for everyday use. BlackGirlSunscreen provides protection from the sun while simultaneously moisturizing, and doesn’t leave the aggravating white residue on the skin that is common with most sunscreens.

Shop today to not only protect and nourish your skin, but to also support a black-owned beauty brand!

Access Exclusive: Ama Osei

Influencer, Ama Osei, speaks with Access PR to discuss her take on the beauty industry.

Influencer, Ama Osei, speaks with Access PR to discuss her take on the beauty industry. During this time I was able to ask about her reasoning for choosing a path in the beauty community, advice she would give to others and her personal style. Read more from our chat below.

IMG_5834.jpg

Can you explain your current role in the beauty industry?

“I am not genuinely sure if I actually have a “role” in the beauty industry... But, what I try my best to do, if applicable, I try to bring an item that’s black owned on set to support my brothers and sisters and share it amongst the team. Some people in the industry genuinely have never heard of certain dope designers, so I feel like it is my responsibility to share my opportunities with them even if they aren’t present on set. “

What made you want to choose this path?

“It was completely random. An associate of mine encouraged me to pursue it. She saw my potential and with that small seed she planted I prayed on it and God has made things beautiful in his time.”

What is your favorite thing about your current spot in your career?

“The glam! I am big on self care. Being on set, getting my makeup done, hair done, facial massage, taking photos ignites this fire in me and gives me that ultimate confirmation that this is where I am supposed to be.” 

IMG_5832.jpg


Can you tell me about your personal style?

“I would describe my personal style as sexy chic. No matter your age, I think it doesn’t hurt to be a little sexy and still maintain a sense of elegance.” #foreversexy 


What have you learned throughout your growth in this industry?

“Being on set and interacting with people of all different backgrounds and visions teaches me how to adapt, how to communicate properly and learn how to improve my craft while picking up various skills from others while working. You can never know everything, and if you show people that you’re willing to learn, they will be even more willing to share.”


Do you ever feel pressure from social media? If, yes how do you overcome it?

“I used to feel pressure, but that was mainly because I was looking at everyone else and not focusing on what God wants from me. I overcame by not looking at the next person and focusing on God alone. He is the only one that will bring my helpers and put me in places with people I could only dream of by making it a reality.”

IMG_5831.jpg


Where do you see yourself in five years?

“I see myself as a BIG brand, sharing my story and encouraging young black women to be still, you will make it. Continue to stand on God’s promise for your life. He is the only one that will see you through.” 

What advice would you give someone who has an interest in this industry?

“The same thing I tell myself daily is to: stop looking at people and look at Jesus. Ask God to fulfill His purpose for you wanting to be in the beauty industry and to let your dream die so his can shine through you!”
