Fitting liquid foundation

Liquid foundation is a very common cosmetic and an indispensable item in the makeup process. However, if the liquid foundation is not used properly, it will be difficult to achieve a sense of adherence, and the makeup will be a failure. So, how can we use liquid foundation to make it more adherent? Here we will introduce the usage, selection techniques and precautions of liquid foundation for your reference!

1. How to apply liquid foundation so that it adheres smoothly?

1. First, pour the liquid foundation onto the palm of your hand, making sure to pour out enough amount.

2. Before spreading and applying, use your fingertips to spread it over a large area in your hands. Just like using primer, use the index and middle fingers of both hands, and the ring finger from the fingertips to the second joint to spread it.

3. Apply from cheeks to forehead. When the foundation is evenly applied, rub the fingers of both hands against each other to make the remaining foundation adhere better.

4. Cover your skin with a thin layer of foundation on your hands to make the surface smoother and improve adhesion.

5. Finally, use a sponge to gently press the entire face to make the skin surface look smoother and absorb excess foundation. Apply from cheeks to forehead. Once the foundation is evenly applied, rub the fingers of both hands together to make the remaining foundation adhere better.

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. Precautions for using liquid foundation

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.
