How to Apply Foundation
In this video, professional make-up artist, Davee Troublefield shows you the basic steps to use when applying foundation. He also offers a few tips to assist you in applying your foundation for the best coverage.
Step 1: Choosing the Correct Foundation
Choose a foundation that matches your skin color closely and gives you the coverage that you desire. If you have blemishes you will want to choose a heavier foundation that offers good coverage to cover the blemishes and make your skin look smoother. For skin that is blemish free, a lighter foundation can be used. You don't want to change the color of your skin with foundation, so it is best to use one that is as close to your skin color as possible. Test the color of the foundation on your face if possible, so that you can see if it will blend well with your skin tone and color.http://www.hairstylescut.com/beauty/applying-foundation.htm
Step 2: Applying the Foundation
To apply foundation you can use a sponge, a brush or your fingers. Dab the foundation on your skin and then use whichever method you choose to spread the foundation on your skin. Sweep away from the T-zone and down towards the edges of your face. Apply foundation in a well lit area with a mirror so that you can make sure it covers your entire face and is blended completely.http://beauty.iloveindia.com/makeup/applying-foundation.html
Step 3: Foundation Types
Foundation is available in liquid, powder, stick and cream forms. If you have oily skin, you will want to choose a foundation that is oil-free. Foundations for dry skin will have a moisturizer added. It is also wise to choose a foundation that includes protection from the sun. Look for a foundation that has an SPF of 30 or higher. It may take a bit of trial and error to find the foundation that will fit all your needs, but in the end it will be worth it.http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/10/fashion/10SkinSide.html
