Apr 30, 2008 Author: admin | Filed under: Foundation TipsChoosing Colors and Blending Tips
• Apply two shades of foundation to your face, a lighter on your whole face, and then a darker shade on your cheekbones to make your cheekbones look higher.
• If your face’s natural color is light, avoid any dark foundation color.
• Shade the border between your face and neck until it’s invisible. Follow with Your favorite loose or pressed powder (translucent loose powder for normalto- oily skin and pressed powder for normal-to-dry skin).
• Brighten up your face–For a natural, subtle, and flush of color reach for bronzing powder with a large, fluffy brush and dust a light layer on forehead, nose, cheeks and chin.
• Get rid of laugh lines–Use a concealer pencil and draw three horizontal lines (like cat whiskers) next to the corner of your mouth. Sponge blend in an upward direction for an instant lift.
• Ultra sheer foundation–Mix your foundation and a moisturizer together for a light foundation. You can also use a dampened cosmetic sponge for the sheerest, most natural look.
• Plump up sunken cheeks–Apply a lighter shade of foundation or highlighter to the hollows of your cheeks.
• Cover redness–Use a yellow-toned cream to neutralize redness instead of a concealer to cover blemishes, red blotches or eyeglass marks.
• If you have dry and parched skin, you should stay away from foundation (it falls on dry skin badly and does not hide peeling). Instead of that you should thoroughly nourish and moisten your skin. Buy oily crème; make a hydrating mask 2 times a week. If you don’t have serious problem with your health, you should drink more water, juice and herbal tea. Use scrub and peelings moderately.
• If you have any blemishes on your face, avoid any pink tints (pink color accentuates blemishes).
• Usually foundation crèmes are laid over and arranged with a special sponge. It is possible to do with fingertips also. If your foundation crème is very dense and it is arranged unwell, you can dilute it with day crème for your skin. Squeeze some foundation on your palm and add gradually your day crème to the consistence you need.
• For better results use large powder brush. Pick up powder over sifter and apply. The powder must be the same tint that foundation is. If you are used to doing it with a sponge, please, but try not to rub skin and put a powder with light movements. If you put on too much powder, don’t try rub excess out. It would be better to run over your face with a brush without powder from up to down.
