Applying foundation can get tricky, which is why it is so helpful to have these easy troubleshooting tips for your foundation application. Here is the best of the best from my wedding makeup San Antonio experience!
-
Make sure that you always moisturize before applying foundation, and allow it to absorb into your skin completely for at least five minutes. - For oily skin types, use oil control gel for the areas of your face that produce the most oil. Apply it to your T-zone and chin, if needed.
- Next, apply a primer over your entire face to make your foundation last all day long.
- Use a foundation with light coverage because less is always more, and make sure that it matches your skin tone completely in natural light.
- Apply your foundation with a sponge or a makeup brush, depending on whether it is a liquid or mineral makeup powdered foundation. Start at your jaw line, and then work your way upward.
- Finish by using a concealer or color corrector to cover your under eye area completely. Blend well with a makeup brush.
- You can also use a foundation that is a shade darker to shadow and contour certain areas of your face, like your cheek and jaw line.
- Finish with a pressed powder to lock the foundation in place.
And there you have it! Beautiful skin in a few simple steps.
