How to apply the foundation


Here's How: Begin with clean hands and a clean face Apply a moisturizing sunscreen, 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). Let the moisturizer, sunscreen or primer set for about a minute. Camouflage your dark, under-eye circles with a concealer.

 Pat, never rub, the concealer into skin. Makeup artists swear by foundation brushes to apply product. They soak up less foundation and blend flawlessly. But most women use a makeup sponge or the fingers to apply foundation. No matter your tool of choice, apply dots of foundation on your cheeks, chin, forehead and tip of the nose. 

You don't want to apply foundation over the entire face, just the spots that are uneven. 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. Set the foundation with loose powder immediately after application
