Airbrush Contouring 101
One of the biggest concerns city girls like me have in the summer is that liquid foundations and contouring powders seem to melt the moment I leave the house. And it’s not only about the finish or quality of makeup products I pick -- the City is just way too hot to wear makeup. Saying so, I’m definitely one of the girls who is not okay not wearing a foundation at all.

It Looks Natural. As soon as you know how to properly apply your spray-on foundation, it looks anything like your typical liquid foundation. Instead, it provides a very even tone without being too dewy or too
