How to apply foundation

Learn how to create a make up base that will give you glowing and beautiful skin.

1 APPLY MAKE-UP BASE

First apply the make-up base by putting a little dab on the back of your hand and using that as a palette. Then use your fingers to apply it all over your face.

USE A BRUSH TO BLEND FOUNDATION

Take a clean foundation brush and run it over the contours of your face, blend it in to ensure you don’t have too much product concentrated in one area.

 

 

APPLY THE FOUNDATION

Apply the foundation, and always be conscious of the chin area. Make sure you don’t stop at the jaw line, but carry your foundation in a downward movement on to the neck so everything is even. Foundation is really important to cancel out redness in the skin.

Set the foundation with a pressed powder to make sure the face stays luminous. To really let the make up base unlock its true glow you should only powder through the T-zone. Move a soft powdered brush along the forehead and down the nose, creating a rolling motion, by rolling it to really let the brush set that powder into the skin.

 

 

EXTRA TIP:

A common mistake is to use the wrong foundation colour. A good way to judge is to check the colour on the side of your cheek.
