How to Apply Foundation..

JUST 8 STEPS...

The right foundation will even out your skin tone and give you the appearance of flawless skin. But you have to do it right, otherwise you risk looking like a ... clown. Follow these steps for a flawless complexion.

Difficulty: Easy

Time Required: 2 minutes

1. Begin with clean hands and a clean face

2.  Apply any moisturizing are you like , moisturizer or primer that's perfect for your skin type. All foundations will go on more smoothly if the skin is well-hydrated. Foundation primer is my pick, because it creates a smooth surface for foundation. (Some makeup artists believe it's a crime not to prime)

3.  Let the moisturizer, sunscreen or primer set for a few minutes 

4.  Wipe off any excess moisturizer with a tissue. Greasy skin will make the foundation slip and slide  

5. Camouflouge your dark, under-eye circleswith aconcealer. Pat, never rub, the concealer into skin

6. Using a makeup sponge or the tips of your fingers, apply dots of foundation on your cheeks, chin, forehead and tip of the nose. Makeup artists swear by foundation brushes to apply product. They soak up less foundation and blend flawlessly. 

7.  Using the sponge, your fingertips or the foundation brush, blend the dots together. Pay special attention to your hairline and jawline to ensure there's no obvious line

8.  Set the foundation with loose powder immediately after application.

TIPS :

1. You don't have to put foundation all over your face. Try spot-fixes for those areas that need coverage (likely around the eyes, nose and chin).

2. Don't want to go all out with a foundation? Tinted moisturizers may be all you need if your complexion is dewy, but you want a light, sheer wash to even out blotchiness. My favorite tinted moisturizers are by Garnier

3. If you use a sponge, make sure and wash out it out well so it doesn't start harboring all sorts of nasty bacteria. These foundation sponges are cheap and work perfectly.
