Applying makeup foundation the right way
When it comes to applying foundation on the face you need to know what you are doing.
Many people make the worst mistake ever which is covering the whole of your face with
foundation. What this results in is the worst possible look they could hope for – an un-natural
look which portrays them to be wearing a mask. This article explains the correct way of
applying foundation makeup or tinted moisturiser to the skin.
Step 1
Before applying any kind of makeup to you face, ensure your face is clean and moisturised.
Apply dabs of concealer on under eye circles and any areas which have blemishes. When
applying concealer it is important to dab the concealer and nor rub it. Many makeup artists
recommend you apply concealer before applying foundation because you will use less
foundation if you first use concealer to cover the problem areas.
Step 2
If you have any red spots or uneven areas of skin – usually the chin, around the nose, under
your eyes and corners of the mouth, always dot foundation on these problem areas. What
you are not looking to do is cover the whole face, you are just looking for an even skin tone.
Starting at the inside of your face and moving outwards, slowly blend the foundation into
your skin. There are a number of ways you can do this – using your fingers, using a nylon
brush (the best method) or using a wedge shaped sponge.
Step 3
What you want to do is avoid the mask look. To do this you need to blend the foundation at the jaw line and hairline so you have a nice even tone.
Step 4
Once you have applied your foundation you can finish off the look with compressed powder.A good tip is to carry blotting tissues with you just to soak up any oiliness throughout the
day. This is great because it means you don’t have to keep topping up with powder. If
you apply makeup foundation in the correct way your face will have a beautiful even tone.
Ensure you choose the correct foundation makeup suitable for your skin.
