Tips and Tricks for Applying Foundation

by MayaJanuary 24, 2019 in Beauty Blogs, no comment

Makeup artists are the true professionals who often share their secrets on how to achieve the best looks. The proper makeup and makeup tools are essential to achieving this goal, but it is always good to listen and see some of the tricks from the experts.  Almost every makeup product has its suitable tool and way of applying it, but it does have to be the basic way. When it comes to the foundation as a makeup product, one thing that we all should bear in mind is that it should not be applied in a way you apply your day cream. That is totally wrong! Foundation is considered to be the base of every makeup look. Investing in the right foundation will not only make you face look good, but it also has health benefits – it will keep your skin protected from the outdoor influences. The most famous makeup artists had few tricks and tips to share for the process of buying and applying the foundation. You might find them useful.

Find your right shade

Finding the right shade can be tricky and it always has to be done in the natural light. Pick 3 shades that look similar to your skin tone and test them in the daylight. The one that looks like it has disappeared is the one that is the shade of your skin tone. Makeup artists suggest that you also buy a foundation in darker color that will be used to highlight your cheekbones, chin and nose.

Pick your formula

The right formula of the foundation can do wonders, so be careful what you pick. According to your type of the skin, find the foundation that best matches its needs. If you have oily skin, use foundations that are oil-free based. Also, the matte powder will soak the extra oil too.

Buy the right tools

The best way of applying foundation is with a round brush. Find one that has synthetic hairs. They are most usually used as powder brushes but they are perfect for foundation because they make the blending easy. Also, the sponge will do the work – just press it on your skin until the foundation is perfectly blended.

Prepare the skin

Before applying the foundation, your skin must be prepared. This means that every skin ritual you have got will be good. For those wondering what it is, start with washing your face, tone it, apply a hydrating cream or moisturizers, and after all that – the foundation.

Use the concealer

The concealer should always be used over the foundation. This means that dark or red sports should firstly be covered with foundation, and then concealer.

The finish is crucial

For perfect finish, use the contouring technique, but it should not be over accented. With a bit of darker shade, define your cheekbones, nose line and hairline.

Achieve healthy glow

For a skin that reflects a healthy glow, makeup artists suggest that you put few drops of shimmering gel into the foundation.
