Let’s take your foundation makeup game to the next level!
1. Start with a Clean Canvas:
• Cleanse: Begin by cleansing your face to remove any dirt, oil, and makeup residues. This helps prevent clogged pores and ensures a smooth application.
• Exfoliate: Exfoliating removes dead skin cells, promoting a more even foundation finish. Use a gentle exfoliator suitable for your skin type.
2. Moisturize and Prime:
• Moisturize: Hydrate your skin with a moisturizer tailored to your skin type (oily, dry, combination). This creates a smooth base and helps the foundation adhere better.
• Primer: Apply a primer to blur imperfections and extend the wear of your foundation. Choose a primer based on your skin concerns, such as mattifying for oily skin or hydrating for dry skin.
3. Choose the Right Foundation:
• Type: Select the type of foundation (liquid, powder, cream, or stick) that best suits your skin type and desired coverage.
1: Liquid Foundation-
• Skin Type: -
All Skin Types:
(However, you should look at the label and go for an oil-free, oil-control, liquid foundation with a matte finish if you have oily or acne-prone skin. Also, you can look for terms like non -acnegenic and non- comedogenic on the labels if you are acne-prone or struggle with enlarged pores
• For normal to dry skin,
a moisturizing liquid foundation will work best (look for satin or semi-matte finishes).
Coverage: Ranges from Sheer (Light) to Full
2. Stick Foundation-
• Skin Type/Concern: Normal to Dry Skin. Also, it works well on hyperpigmentation issues, scars, age spots, imperfections, etc.
• Coverage: Generally ranges from Medium to Full
3,4: Cream to Powder Foundation-
• Skin Type/Concern: Normal, ONLY Slightly Oily Skin, ONLY Slightly Dry (Not recommended for fully dry or oily skin types).
• Coverage: On the spectrum, it falls somewhat in the middle per se, as it gives more coverage than liquid but less than a stick or cream. But it can look heavy, so keep that in mind when making your selections.
4: Find the Right Shade:
Find a shade that matches your skin tone. Test shades on your jawline and choose the one that seamlessly blends into your skin.
5. Application Tools:
• Brushes: Use a flat foundation brush for full coverage or a stippling brush for a more natural finish.
• Sponges: A damp beauty sponge provides a smooth, airbrushed finish and is great for blending.
• Fingers: Your fingers can be used for a natural finish, especially with cream foundations.
