Quick And Simple Flawless Foundation Tips For Perfect Looking Skin
1. Before applying foundation, do a little mixology: Add 2 drops of water (normal), witch hazel (oily), toner (dry) to your founation and apply with a sponge.
2. Bump it up: Get a little extra coverage, but keep it sheer and simple: Just put on your foundation blend some with a bit of your concealer. Dab this onto those spots that need a little extra help. Powder lightly.
3. Love stick foundation but it’s just so heavy? Problem solved! Negate that mask-ey coverage by mixing your stick foundation with a drop of moisturizer. Make it lighter still and just apply where you need it and not all over the face. Dust with a bit of loose powder. Sheer beauty!
4. Were you just in the tropics? Keep a light and fresh bronzey look all year long. Rub a bit of foundation with a brozer. Run it over the “sun spots” like your nose, forehead, cheekbones on your face. This is a good way to keep up the sun-kissed look even in the dead of January!
5. Mix it up: Try mixing a bit of your foundation with a little transluscent powder. The powder soaks up extra oils in the base and creates a matte foundation that stays on hours longer.
6. If you’re super oily, try this trick: Dust your face with powder before you put on your foundation. The powder will help your foundation not turn into an oil slick on your face and it will last longer.
7. Model’s Secret: Models don’t all have that great skin. Besides airbrushing, you can get a nice, photography-level coverage with this tip: Apply your liquid foundation as normal, but use double the amount you do usually. Get a folded tissue and press it lightly around the face to absorb some of the extra foundation and oil. The result is a high-coverage look that contains pure pigment and is photo-ready.
