10 Top Tips on how to apply foundation-Applying
foundation is where most women make mistakes. You’ve probably seen others who
wear foundation that is so heavy that their makeup starts to crack.
You made the mistake of wearing the wrong tone and now
the color of your face is different from that of your neck. Yes, everyone goes
through this phase especially when you’re just starting out but the good news
is that you can correct this easily by following these ten tips on how to apply
foundation.
·
Double up on concealer. For those who often have dark circles under
their eyes, you can start with some concealer first before applying your base
makeup. Apply a small amount of concealer under the eyes and pat evenly then
apply your foundation. If the dark circles are still visible, you can use more
concealer until you are satisfied with the results.
·
Foundation brush is useful. Another tip that makeup artists recommend is
to use a foundation brush when applying foundation. Start at the center of your
face then brush outwards to blend. When you’re buying foundation, make sure
that you go for one that has a flawless finish for a more natural look.
·
Cleanse. It’s important to treat your skin using cleansing water
and cotton pad. This can be used to remove make up or prepare your face before
you apply your makeup. Cleansing your face can help remove any dirt, grime, or
dust
·
Don’t forget to moisturize. Once your face has been cleansed
properly, the next step would be to moisturize your skin. Moisturizing your
skin keeps it hydrated. Makeup experts recommend that you warm the moisturizing
cream between your palms before applying.
·
Color corrector, foundation, and concealer. The first thing that you should do when it
comes to applying makeup is to apply color corrector as needed, followed by
your foundation. Afterwards, use the concealer to hide other imperfections for
a more flawless look.
·
Blend. When it comes to blending your foundation, use a damp
beautyblender as it helps soften the sponge without absorbing the foundation
that you have applied on your skin. Use a rolling motion when spreading and
blending the foundation so that it will appear even.
·
Conceal with liquid foundation. When you don’t have any concealer on
hand, your liquid foundation will work in hiding your blemishes. You just need
to apply a small dot of liquid foundation on the affected area then let it sit
until it thickens. Smooth it out afterwards to hide any blemishes. If you
spread it too soon, you might not end up with enough coverage which can be a
problem especially when applying the rest of your makeup.
·
Use primer. Women with oily skin often have difficulty keeping
their foundation intact especially when the afternoon rolls around. Most of the
time, their T-zone becomes shiny which is why you need to use a primer so that
your foundation won’t break down.
·
Don’t forget your ears and neck. Another tip when it comes to applying
foundation is to make sure that you blend your foundation over your ears as
well as down your neck to maintain a smooth and even tone. You don’t want to
see any demarcation on your face and neck right?
·
Smooth foundation on your sink when there is no natural
light in the bathroom. What’s
difficult about using foundation inside the bathroom is that you may not have
enough natural light to show that you have applied the foundation properly and
evenly. All that you have to do is apply the foundation then look at it in
natural light.
