How to use liquid foundation?

As we all know, traditional makeup uses foundation, which is a solid and very dry substance, while its derivative, liquid foundation, is a water-like substance. Liquid foundation is relatively easier to apply and makes the skin more moisturized and hydrating, so it is worth choosing. So do you know the correct way to use liquid foundation? Here I will teach you the most correct way to use liquid foundation.

The biggest mistake many girls make when using foundation is choosing a foundation that is much lighter than their skin tone, thinking that this will make their skin look fairer. In fact, this will make the skin color look unnatural, as if wearing a mask. The correct way to do it is: choose a color that is close to the skin color of your neck, or one shade darker than the skin color of your face.

If you want to be more professional, it is best to prepare three colors of foundation (dark, light, and middle). Light-colored foundation is one shade lighter than your skin color and is used on the T-zone (forehead and bridge of nose); mid-tone foundation is closest to your skin color and is used as the base color for the entire face; and foundation that is one shade darker than your skin color is used on the cheeks, chin, etc. to modify the face shape.

You can also respond flexibly according to your own situation. For example, many people have darker skin tone in the T-zone than other parts. You can choose a foundation that is one shade lighter than the skin tone of your cheeks and apply it only on the T-zone. This will create a three-dimensional effect on the entire face.

Purple foundation can neutralize dry and sallow skin tone, making the skin look white and rosy.

After applying foundation, applying some loose powder containing pearl powder can make your skin look as smooth and lustrous as pearls and make the makeup effect more lasting.

Tips for applying liquid foundation

First, pour an appropriate amount of liquid foundation into the palm of your hand and apply it evenly to the forehead, nose tip, cheeks and chin. Apply from the center of the forehead to the sides, lightly tap around the eyes, 45 degrees downward on the cheeks, and from top to bottom on the chin, philtrum and nose. Remember to push it down in one direction and avoid applying it back and forth repeatedly.

If you apply too thick foundation on your eyes, which blink frequently, fine lines will easily appear. Therefore, when applying foundation under the eyes, look slightly upwards and apply from the inside of the eye to the outside with light pressure.

The foundation should be applied thinly and evenly, and gradually faded when applied to the neck, behind the ears, forehead, and roots of hair. The transition between the foundation and the skin should be natural and soft, otherwise it will give a fake face appearance.

Be sure not to apply until it feels "perfectly just right". By the time you feel that way, the amount of foundation is already too much. It is actually most appropriate if you feel that after you have applied everything, it still looks like something is not enough.
