How to apply foundation

How to apply foundation


Select a foundation that is appropriate to your skin type and the coverage you wish to achieve. The color should match your skin, disappearing when blended well. For a natural look your foundation must match your skin tone.

Place a small amount of foundation on the back of one hand. Dip your makeup sponge or your middle finger into it. Spread foundation on your hands and pat it on your face, then smooth out with a sponge.

Apply to the center of your face: cheeks, forehead, and chin.
Be extra careful in the area around your eyes where the skin is super thin.
Don't forget to apply foundation on your eyelids, as well.

Blend out to your hair and jaw line until the foundation vanishes. Pay special attention to blending around the nose, mouth and jaw line.
Always test foundations along your jaw line. The best color will disappear into your skin.

After you apply foundation go near a window to make sure it looks natural.
Natural light is the ultimate test!
