Beginner 101 – Some Foundation Must Do’s!

Hello lovelies!

Here are some tips that you need to bear in mind when you are applying foundation. These are the things you must do before or during foundation application:

Always cleanse, tone, moisturize and prime your skin before applying foundation
Apply moisturizer according to your skin need for example; if you have oily skin, apply gel based moisturizer and if you have dry skin, apply oil based moisturizer
Mix one to two drops of beauty oil in your foundation if you have really dry skin
Mix non-comedogenic oils if you have sensitive and acne prone skin
Correct your dark circles or pigmentation before applying foundation
To increase longevity of your foundation, apply a thin layer of powder underneath
Apply concealers and correctors wherever required
For dew coverage use a damp sponge
For achieving natural coverage with a bit of coverage use a stippling brush
For medium to full coverage use a buffing brush with dense head but not tightly packed bristles
For full coverage foundation, use a thick and densely packed brush with no space between the bristles
Let the foundation sit for a while before applying blush or highlighter on top to avoid caking
Spray a bit of fixing spray on your favorite brush before applying foundation to make the application easier and much more smooth
Mix two different colors to get the shade matched to your actual skin tone
Mix two different formulas to create the consistency of your own choice
Correct your flaws before applying foundation and then lightly powder on top
Mix a bit of liquid highlighter in a matte foundation to make it look dewy
