How to apply foundation correctly?

For women who love beauty, a pretty face is their asset, so in daily life they should not only learn how to care for their skin, but more importantly, they should use some makeup techniques to make themselves more beautiful. When applying makeup, in addition to basic care, the first thing to do is to apply foundation, but many women apply foundation incorrectly. So, what is the most correct way to apply foundation?

How to Apply Foundation Correctly

1. Apply the foundation evenly on the face by tapping or using a foundation brush.

2. Use your ring finger to gently press on areas such as the wings of the nose, around the eyes and lips to make the foundation fit better to the skin.

3. If you want to make your skin more translucent, you can apply foundation in small amounts and multiple times.

Tips: Applying foundation with fingers requires less amount, is easy to master, and has a light and transparent makeup effect, which is suitable for beginners; applying foundation with a sponge is suitable for blemished skin, but the foundation will be more absorbed by the sponge; applying foundation with a makeup brush is suitable for skin with better skin, but it is not easy to apply evenly. If you are skilled, applying makeup with a makeup brush will be fast and the makeup effect will be good!

The secret of applying foundation

1. The color of the foundation should be the same as your skin color

The purpose of foundation is to cover up skin problems and make the skin look more ideal. If you want your skin to be as white as your natural skin, your makeup will look very unnatural, so when choosing a foundation, you must choose it according to your skin tone. The best way to try it out is to apply it on the collarbone and then observe the color difference from far to near.

2. Use foundation brushes and fingers to apply makeup

We all know that fingers are the best makeup tools. The temperature of fingers can make the base makeup better blend with the skin, but sometimes we also need to use a foundation brush to make the base makeup more perfect. Especially the corners of the eyes, corners of the lips, and the sides of the nose need more careful treatment, because these areas are particularly prone to oiliness, and are also the hardest hit areas for powder sticking and makeup coming off. Using a foundation brush to apply makeup can make your base makeup appear lighter. However, for the details mentioned just now, we should press with our fingertips after applying with the brush to better avoid powder floating and makeup coming off, so that the base makeup can better fit the skin.

3. Master the thickness of foundation

For a perfect base makeup, the thickness of the foundation must be even. Many women do this: they apply a light foundation first, and then apply a slightly thicker application on certain parts when applying local blemishes. Although this may not be noticeable in a short period of time, after a long period of time, the thin part of the foundation will be quickly absorbed by the skin, revealing the true color, while the thick part will be exposed, making the entire makeup look uncoordinated. Therefore, we need to take the thickness of foundation seriously. The editor’s suggestion here is to follow the law of uniform large blocks of color. The properties of concealer and foundation should also be basically the same, that is, liquid foundation corresponds to concealer liquid, and cream foundation corresponds to concealer.
