Essential Tools for Foundation And Concealer Video
In this video professional make-up artist, Davee Troublefield discusses two of the essential tools that can be used for applying foundation or concealer. A brush can be used for foundation and concealer to apply an even amount without giving you the caked on look that other tools may give you.
Step 1: Sponges
Sponges can be used either wet or dry and come in many different shapes and sizes. Using a damp sponge can help keep you from wasting excess foundation or concealer. Dab some concealer or foundation on the inside of your wrist and then dip the sponge in and apply it. A sponge with smaller pores will help reduce the amount of the liquid being absorbed. Sponges can be washed in warm soapy water. Be sure to allow ample time for them to dry. When the sponge begins to lose it's shape, it is time to replace it.http://www.beautysnob.com/2009/07/beauty_poll_how_often_do_you.html
Step 2: Brushes
Brushes can be used to apply foundation and concealer. The brush is a good choice, especially for concealer because it allows you to cover blemishes and those harder to reach areas with some precision. Brushes need to be washed using a gentle soap. Lay them on a flat surface to dry.http://makeupforlife.net/2006/04/how-to-take-care-of-your-brushes.html
Step 3: Your Fingers
Using your fingers to apply foundation and concealer can help you save money. It is best to use your ring finger to avoid using to much pressure when you are applying the make-up. The heat of your finger will help make the foundation and concealer easier to spread. The oil in your fingers can have an effect on your makeup, so if you already have oily skin another method may be best for applying the products.http://makeupforlife.net/2006/02/tools-for-applying-concealer-and.html
