HOW TO APPLY FOUNDATION


Begin with clean hands and a clean face
Apply a moisturizing sunscreen, moisturizer or primer that's perfect for your skin type. All foundations will go on more smoothly if the skin is well-hydrated. Foundation primer is my pick, because it creates a smooth surface for foundation. (Some makeup artists believe it's a crime not to prime).
Let the moisturizer, sunscreen or primer set for a few minutes.
Wipe off any excess moisturizer with a tissue. Greasy skin will make the foundation slip and slide.
Camouflouge your dark, under-eye circles with a Concealer. Pat, never rub, the concealer into skin.
Using a makeup sponge or the tips of your fingers, apply dots of foundation on your cheeks, chin, forehead and tip of the nose. Makeup artists swear by foundation brushes to apply product. They soak up less foundation and blend flawlessly.
Using the sponge, your fingertips or the foundation brush, blend the dots together. Pay special attention to your hairline and jawline to ensure there's no obvious line.
Set the foundation with loose powder immediately after application.
