Easy as 1, 2, 3; trying the Huda Beauty 3-step Easy routine...


For the most blurred complexion, follow the 1, 2, 3 EASY ROUTINE!

Step 1: Prime with the Easy Blur Primer. Huda recommends using two fingers length worth of product.

Step 2: Apply Easy Blur Foundation and blend & buff into the skin.

Step 3: Set with the Easy Bake Loose Setting & Baking Powder for the ultimate airbrushed finish.

 

The primer is water-based and the matching foundation is oil-based, so it just floats over pores and fine lines as oil and water don't mix. Setting the foundation with powder is a Important step due to combining oil & water.

I got everything a fortnight ago and have been wearing them every day; I have very skin and was very sceptical about a routine involving a matte primer & non-skippable setting powder working for me, but I have large pores that are looking worse because of medication, so I went and bought the 3 products anyway the last time I went to the Trafford Centre...




A silicone-free ultra-blurring primer that is good for your skin, and so easy to use! Our Easy Blur Primer is packed with blurring polymers that help instantly control excess oil, smooth texture and blur pores.

This translucent pink jelly-textured primer blends to clear on application with a cooling effect for fresh-looking skin, ready for make-up application. Worn alone or on top of skincare Easy Blur Primer creates an airbrushed, soft-focus finish to make your makeup last longer!



 

This is not a filter! Our Easy Blur Foundation is a weightless, real-life filter foundation that’s ultra-blurring and smoothing for an easy airbrushed finish. With medium-to-buildable coverage for foolproof, seamless, easy application.

This serum-like foundation is formulated with 1.5% skin-smoothing niacinamide and pore-blurring silica for the most natural airbrushed finish.





The Huda Beauty Easy Bake Loose Powders are inspired by Huda’s strong belief that the technique of baking is a key step to a flawless finish while ensuring long-lasting, melt-proof makeup. This extremely light and silky texture blends seamlessly into the skin leaving it matte with a hint of sheen, for a luminous finish that controls shine throughout the day. The powders work to subtly color correct and highlight different contours of the face, leaving a translucent veil of color on your skin.

• Matte, luminous finish
• Unique powder net to control product waste
• Ultra-refined lightweight piagments
• 9 shades curated for all skin tones





I've seen loving the results when all 3 steps are followed; very silky, lightweight and non-caking. Fantastic all day wear, without needing any touch ups. The shade range is small for this line because each colour product adapts between several different tones - I totally buy into this reasoning because everything was sold out online for a little while and when I went to a Sephora store looking for the products in person, the lightest remaining shades for the foundation & the powder were several shades up from the fairest available. Typically I'll be the second shade from the fairest in any brand at most [sometimes the fairest], but everything I got blends into my skintone flawlessly. 

 
The primer has been excellent. I've been using it with the matching foundation, the Power Plush foundation, Huda Beauty GloWish SkinTint [about to be discontinued] & Rare Beauty Liquid Touch foundation, and have been impressed with everything. No issues or complaints. I'll definitely be repurchasing this in the future. 

The foundation is very nice on my dry skin; lightweight, silky and longwearing. It has worn nicely with my other primers [ELF & Advant] or just over moisturizer, but I do prefer it paired with the matching primer for the best blurring effect.  Huda recommends using a brush to apply the foundation, but when I have used a dry sponge I haven't had any issues - however I found that using a damp sponge made application a bit patchy. 

Using any other powder I have [Rare Beauty pressed powder, Studio 10 pressed powder & Haus Labs loose powder] to set the first steps in this routine has worked just as well for me, so if you can't buy the complete range, then this is the step you can just swap around & replace with another powder you like. That being said I have found Easy Bake is an amazing finely milled powder with everything I've been pairing it with without caking and highlighting dry patches of skin- especially great for setting undereye concealer on my very dry skin. I like it more than my other powders and will buy it again.
