Tips for a flawless foundation...
1.
For a natural look your foundation must match your skin
tone.
Test foundations along your jaw-line.
You will know the best colour because it will disappear into
your skin.
2. Spread foundation on your hands and pat it on
your face.
...then smooth out with a sponge making
sure not to pull or stretch the skin. Be extra careful in
the area around your eyes where the skin is super thin.
Don't forget to apply foundation on your eyelids and lips.
3. To make foundation last apply moisturizer
first giving the foundation a base.
...Dry skin will soak up the foundation
if not given that base. For oily skin use an oil-free
moisturizer and powder foundation.
4. On hot days foundation can be difficult to
keep looking fresh.
...Set your foundation in the morning
using a loose powder and puff, then do regular touch ups
throughout the day.
5. To cover imperfections apply foundation first
...and then go back and dot on a
concealer that neutralizes red. For noticeable imperfections
like very dark circles and birthmarks use a yellow
concealer. Don't use too much powder in problem areas
because it will draw attention to it.
6. To avoid a foundation line around the jaw
..apply foundation as usual then use a
little moisturizer in your hand and blend it down your neck.
7. For evening mix some shimmer powder
...with your powder and put it where you
want to attract light such as the bridge of the nose,
underneath the brow bone, the temples, cheekbone, chin and
shoulders.
8. Always use a foundation with a sunscreen
...of at least 15 to prevent future sun
damage.
9. Change your foundation shade
...if the colour of your skin changes.
10. After you apply foundation go near a window
...to make sure it looks natural.
Natural light is the ultimate test.
