Why should you apply foundation?

Foundation is exactly what it claims to be-- foundation. It is the base off of which we build everything else involved in applying makeup. It keeps your makeup from moving around due to sweat, heat or the natural oils our skin produces. It will keep you looking fresher longer and will make your eye shadows more vibrant and last longer as well as keeping your liner from smudging as well as evening out your skin tone.

Foundations have become skin treatments lately and there are loads of options out there. Some foundations have moisturizing properties and Vitamin E. Some have an SPF factor to protect your face from the sun. Some are made from completely natural properties and can reduce the oils your face produces naturally.

There are also a great deal of choices when it comes to coverage. Coverage is how sheer or heavy your foundation is. Some foundations provide what is called "full coverage" but can still feel very light on your skin.

If you are not used to wearing foundation or are worried about looking "made up", try a tinted moisturizer. This can provide many of the same functions as a foundation with a sheer and natural finish. You won't even know you have it on.

I hope this has helped you!

Brush on Perfect Makeup?

The trick to perfect makeup application is investing in a set of quality brushes and applicators. Apply concealer first with you finger, covering any blemishes or under-eye circles. Next, use a soft sponge to apply liquid foundation. The foundation should be a shade that matches your skin tone and is not too heavy. Apply a light coating of loose powder over the liquid foundation using a large, bristled foundation brush. Lastly, apply a small amount of blush to the apples of your cheeks with a medium-sized, bristled blush brush. If desired, apply lip gloss with a small, fine-bristled lip brush.

How do you apply foundation?

It really depends on what type of foundation you're using. There are three types: Liquid, Powder, and Cream. Liquid comes in a bottle. Powder comes in a box. Cream comes in a stick. To apply liquid foundation, you first squeeze a tiny blob onto your hand (if you need more you can always apply it later). Then put your finger in it and place little dots of foundation all over your face, your forehead, centre left and right, you nose, your chin, the sides of your chin, your cheeks, and if you want a little on your neck (especially if your foundation colour doesn't match your true skin tone). The use a blender to spread the foundation over your face so it is even. You want a thin layer so it's not cakey but if you've got a good product it should still offer good coverage. To apply powder foundation, it makes your whole makeup process a little quicker because it has powder and foundation in one. Apply concealer before your foundation, then use a latex sponge and gently spread the dry foundation across your entire face. Include the eyelids, exclude the lips and blend the edges just below the jaw. To apply cream foundation, use the stick to apply light streaks across your face, but don't press or it will be difficult to blend. Immediately after use a latex sponge to spread it out and make sure you get good coverage. Unless you are using a very expensive product, you will find it difficult to achieve a natural looking finish with cream foundation.
