How to use foundation correctly?

For women who wear makeup, they all know that foundation is a must for base makeup. After applying foundation, it makes people feel that putting on makeup becomes very easy. Therefore, beautiful women must always have foundation with them. After all, it is the basis of makeup. However, many beauties do not know how to use foundation correctly, which leads to various problems during the makeup process. So, how to use foundation correctly?

1. No basic care required

After cleansing your face, you can directly apply foundation all over your face, skipping the complicated basic care steps.

Always take care of your skin before putting on makeup

Although some foundations contain skin care ingredients, they cannot completely replace skin care products. Applying makeup directly on your skin can easily clog your pores and dry out your skin.

2: Apply only one layer of foundation to get nude makeup

Many girls see celebrities’ nude makeup and think that nude makeup means using less amount of makeup. Applying less makes you look more natural, but not applying any makeup will make you look even more natural! The beauty of nude makeup lies in its exquisiteness and tracelessness.

Flawless makeup requires partial concealer

If you have severe spots, acne marks, and dark circles, don't always use foundation to cover them. Not only can it not cover it up, it also turns the originally good skin into a white wall. Use concealer to cover local blemishes, applying small amounts and multiple times.

3. Use dark foundation to look thinner

Generally, when choosing a foundation, it is recommended to buy a foundation color that is one shade darker than your own. In fact, it is not only for the purpose of looking thinner, but also to make the skin tone more natural and to avoid the embarrassment of yin-yang lines on the face and neck. If you want to look thinner, you can also use partial contouring, and the darkest foundation on Asians will make the skin look very yellow.

Foundation + contour powder is the right solution

If you want to modify the shape of your face, you can lightly apply some shadow on the side of your face. The color of the contouring powder should not be too dark, otherwise it will look unnatural.

4. No need to set makeup after applying foundation

Nowadays, foundation is becoming more and more effective and less likely to come off, so many girls are too lazy to set their makeup. In fact, this is incorrect, because facial oiliness and sweating will affect the effect of foundation.

To make the foundation more adherent after setting, you can use pressed powder and loose powder to set the makeup after applying foundation. Only in this way can you have skin like a porcelain doll.
