one layer makeup hack
Sephora customers often prefer the following products when searching for one layer makeup hack.
One layer makeup is a technique for seamless makeup application that prevents a cakey appearance. Apply all cream products at once instead of layering foundation, concealer, blush, and bronzer on top of one another. Dot some of each product onto the face then spray the complexion with a setting spray and blend with a damp sponge. Your makeup will look flawless without using too much product!

Now to be real-if you have huge blemishes the foundation may not work for you in one layer only.

Color: Deep Bronze - a warm red shade for deep skin tones
$32.00
The fair bronze is very light and I kind of wish I went one shade darker, but otherwise it’s perfect. Easy to layer and blend and leaves the skin looking dewy!...This bronzer is everything: creamy and easy to apply, won’t fade or change tone during day; lovely for a “no makeup, makeup look”; layers well on top of foundation, without clumping; also, doesn’t grab dry areas on my very dry skin.

Color: Tone 6.2 N - medium tan with neutral peach undertones
$30.00
The coverage is phenomenal, literally one layer nearly concealed a tattoo on my arm when I was swatching the shade! ...This is lightweight, so if like me you're trying to hide undereye circles, it'll take more than one layer. This looks shiny after application... sort of like how the Banana Bright cream reflects light to blur the appearance of circles?

$42.00
I also loved how buildable it was. Multiple layers made blush pop, while a single layer did a subtle sheer wash of color....I though I was using it wrong because it doesn’t show up on me at all. I tried 2 layers of it, but you still can barely see it. I like subtle makeup, but this isn’t it.

Size: 0.25 oz/ 7.0 g·ITEM: 2228757
Color: Tiger Lily Queen - coral
$35.00
It’s got a fiery red colour, which I absolutely love! You can apply one layer for a subtle look, or build it up for a more bold look. ...I received this product as a gift to review, and it is a good product for the natural makeup on my no foundation days. But it didn’t layer well with my current foundations and pulled it up and caused patchy spots.

What it does: Hot off the runway, and paired with high fashion or bohemian chic looks, All Over Face Color is multitasking and dual-ended with soft color balm on one side and a blending brush on the other end for easy application that will not feather.

absolutely love this product. applies and blends like an absolute dream. i actually enjoy the brush that comes with it too. when using the brush, i find a bouncing motion is the best technique for blending it into the skin, not a back and forth motion like how you would with powder products....mid like the milk makeup one...I was underwhelmed after I bought it tbh, I have the milk makeup one and they feel the same not super blendable, should've gotten the rare beauty or the fenty one.
