How do you cover your birthmark?

I get lots of people asking me how I cover my birthmark and what I use, so I wrote this step by step routine, so I hope you find this helpful! 
The best base for makeup is healthy skin, so making sure you have a good skincare routine is always helpful. I always start with priming my face, any primer or mosturiser is good, I use 'Bobby Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base' it is quite expensive at £40 but you only need a pea sized amount so it lasts you ages. (I bought mine in October 2015 and I still have plenty left!)
Next I use Veil Cover Cream in shade biscuit, which is a camouflage cream used to cover my birthmark, I use a triangle sponge to apply that as i find that works best and gets into the nooks and crannies! Then I use the Veil Cover Cream Dusk Finishing Powder and apply this with the same sponge to set the powder. 
Once that is set I use the Youngblood Mineral Foundation in shade warm beige with the Youngblood Ultimate Foundation Brush and blend that in all over my face and over my birthmark. This gives me an even look and matches with the rest of my face.
I then add a bit of bronzer to my cheeks and anywhere the sun catches. At the minute I'm using the Laura Geller Baked Bronze-n-Brighten which I use with a big Youngblood kabuki brush then I use my Bobby brown shimmer brick to highlight my cheek bones.
This is just how I do the base of my face on a day-to-day basis! 
Once I have done my base I then move onto my eyes and lips.
