How to use wet foundation

Wet foundation, also known as liquid foundation, is a basic cosmetic that is essential in the makeup process. When using wet foundation, you need to master certain methods so that you can apply makeup better and give full play to the role of liquid foundation. The steps to use liquid foundation are: applying liquid foundation, applying liquid foundation, and checking whether the liquid foundation is evenly applied. Below we will introduce you to the knowledge on how to use liquid foundation in detail!

1. Normal use of liquid foundation

1. Apply liquid foundation: Pour a small amount of liquid foundation into the palm of your hand and apply it evenly on the forehead, tip of the nose, cheeks and chin.

2. Apply liquid foundation: Apply the liquid foundation evenly on these five parts according to the application direction shown in the figure. Be careful not to apply in circles.

3. Check: Check whether the product is evenly applied. Remember not to forget to apply the product to easily overlooked areas such as the neck and hairline.

2. Tips for choosing liquid foundation

First of all, it is very important to choose the nature of the foundation. You must choose a water-based foundation, which is very thin when squeezed out and will not flow immediately if it stays on your fingers. This makes application effortless and makes makeup evenly applied. Secondly, choosing color is very important, especially for girls with acne scars. Don’t choose a foundation that is too white. Choose a natural color with a yellowish tint. Otherwise, it will not cover the blemishes and the makeup will not look natural. Then, choosing the formula is very important. You must choose an oil-free formula so that the makeup will not come off for a long time and it will be convenient to touch up the makeup.

3. Notes

1. The foundation color should be coordinated with the skin color to avoid being too different from the skin color

The function of foundation is to even out your skin tone, not to drastically change it. Wanting to be perfectly fair or completely flawless will only make your foundation thicker and thicker, and your flaws will become more obvious.

2. The color and texture of the foundation should be coordinated with the skin type, season or makeup, etc.

Generally speaking, if you wear makeup frequently, you should at least have two shades of foundation that are close to your skin tone. For example, an OL makeup can be lighter, while a healthy outdoor makeup can be darker. Oily skin requires an oil-controlling, hydrophilic foundation, while dry skin can appropriately choose an oil-loving, moisturizing foundation. Similarly, in the dry autumn and winter, it is best to choose foundation products with better moisturizing effects.

3. Apply evenly and with appropriate thickness

Apply it evenly and with the right thickness so that the makeup will have a cohesive look. Otherwise it will look like patches on your face, with patches here and there. When applying liquid foundation, you can choose some makeup brushes appropriately. A foundation brush is a good choice. If you use a foundation brush, the foundation you apply will be more transparent, thinner, more natural, and the nude makeup effect will be better. You can use a flat-head foundation brush here, such as Makeupshowbrush's H03, which is a good choice. In addition, an appropriate amount of foundation should be applied to areas that are connected to or close to the face, such as the neck, collarbone, etc.

4. The transition between light and dark should be natural

In order to enhance the contours of the face, we often use a combination of light and dark foundation. Sometimes, in order to cover blemishes, a concealer that is slightly darker than your skin color is used. At this time, the difference between the dark and light colors should be avoided, and the transition must be smooth. You can use a small concealer brush to apply it and then pat it with a sponge.

5. Sun protection index

Liquid foundation is usually labeled with SPF. The so-called SPF refers to the sun protection factor of sunscreen products, which indicates the sun protection effectiveness of sunscreen products. The larger the SPF value, the worse its permeability, which will hinder the normal secretion and respiration of the skin, block the synthesis of vitamin D, and affect the absorption of calcium and phosphorus. Over time, it will increase the risk of osteoporosis.
