Tips For Foundation...

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.

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 a few minutes.
• Wipe off any excess moisturizer with a tissue. Greasy skin will make the foundation slip and slide.
• Camouflouge your dark, under-eye circleswith aconcealer. Pat, never rub, the concealer into skin.
• 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.
• 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.

Tips 

• To Find a shade that matches your skin,test the colour on your neck.Your skin tone is more uniform there than it is on your face,and you'll wind up with a shade that's just right.
• You don't have to buy a new a foundation.Lighten up a heavy liquid formula by mixing it with an equal amt of moisturiser or Primer.
• If Your Foundation looks heavy,gently blot with a tissue,lifting away obvious-looking Patches without smuddging the make up.
• Clean your eyebrows.Foundation and powder can stick to the hairs.Remove it with a slightly damp brow brush or a clean toothbrush.
• choose a liquid foundation that contains silicone.Avoid Luminous or matte ones.(they make the skin look either too moist or too flat to be natural)and instead look for the words'lightweight''sheer'or 'invisible'.
• Apply six dots of foundation,each with a centimeter-wide diameter ; two on your forehead,one each on the tip and along the sides of your nose,and the last on your chin.Using two fingers,spread the colour over forehead,down your nose,across your cheeks,over your chin,and along the sideways-never up-to prevent foundation from catching in peach fuzz.
• Apply Comcealer after your foundation in order to avoid using morethan you actually need.
• For day-to-day sheer,natural coverages,your fingers are soetimes the best aplication tools.use them to blend foundation sparingly and only where you want to even out your complexion.
• For Foundation that lasts for hours,smooth on a primer after your moisturiser and before you apply foundation.
