Foundation
The basic purpose of foundation is to even out your skin tone. Remember, less is more. You want the natural glow of your skin to shine through. To choose a formula, think about your skin’s needs. For oily skin, try a liquid foundation with pressed powder over it or a mineral makeup. For normal or combination skin, all forms work well – it’s just a matter of finding the form that you are most comfortable with. For dry skin, a cream, mousse or liquid foundation with a moisturizing formula works best. To find your shade, test several options on your upper jawline – the right one will disappear on your face. To apply, dab a few dots on forehead, cheeks and nose. Using fingers, a sponge or a foundation brush, blend the dots evenly onto the face and neck. Work from the center of the face outwards.
Concealer
Concealers should be used over foundation to provide extra coverage where needed. You’ll often need two concealers: a lighter shade with orange tones for dark undereye circles and a buttery shade with yellow tones for redness and blemishes. Apply to trouble areas and blend gently by patting in a circular motion with your finger.
Powder
Set foundation and concealer with loose or pressed powder. It’s the finishing step that helps your skin appear smooth, vibrant and natural-looking, and it helps absorb oil throughout the day.
Blush
Dot blush on the apples of cheeks and blend in a circular motion moving toward upper cheekbones. Choose a shade that makes your face come alive. In general, juicy berries are great for darker skin tones and soft pinky peaches look lovely on lighter skin tones. |
