Mastering makeup: Applying foundation

Foundation is essential to giving your skin a fine and homogeneous look. However, application can be tricky and the end result may not always be what you're aiming for. To ensure an agreeable outcome, follow these easy steps:

  1. Clean your face with your daily toner; avoid moisturizer
  2. The amount you use on your face should not exceed the size of an almond. Dip the tip of your foundation brush and start by applying the product on your forehead.
  3. Spread the foundation into your hairline, working your way downward to your nose. If you're wearing any nose jewelry, remove it while applying make-up.
  4. For your cheeks, spread outwards, making sure to cover the entire area.
  5. For your chin, move the brush from your mouth downward, towards your neck.
  6. If you're wearing a plunging neckline, cover your neck as well, to achieve a uniform color.
  7. Finally, powder your face lightly with some loose or compact powder (use a brush for this purpose–not a sponge).
