Beauty Tuesday: Foundation Basics

Hi there! Today we are all about the base of our makeup, foundation. Foundation can make or break the look so here are some essential tips:

  1. Ensure your skin is well cleansed and moisturized before applying the foundation: Moisturizer smoothes the skin’s surface for a more even application of foundation and can even help makeup to stay on longer. If your skin is uneven or oily, apply primer to enable smooth foundation application.

2. Apply foundation in layers: Instead of applying a thick layer of foundation, start by applying less and blend. Add until you are content with the coverage.

3. Try your foundation before you buy it: Always try your foundation on your face and not your hands as they tend to be lighter than the face. Test it on your cheek towards your jawline and rub it into your neck.

4. Use a beauty sponge to blend: Beauty sponges are readily available and are now very affordable. Use the sponge damp with foundation, bounce it onto the skin for natural coverage.
