Foundation and Face Color Tips
|
|
1. |
Apply
eye creams and moisturizers before foundation. The eye
area especially is the first place foundation tends
to crease. Mixing a few drops of shimmer lotion into
liquid foundation gives a subtle gleam. |
|
2. |
For
even coverage, apply foundation with a slightly damp
sponge, or foundation brush. For maximum coverage, creme
covers best. For medium to sheer coverage, try liquid
foundations. For maximum versatility, try wet/dry compact
makeup. |
|
3. |
Avoid
creme or moisture-rich foundations if your skin is oily.
Sheer foundation is best for blemished, or freckle lined
skin. Acne prone skin should avoid compact foundations,
the sponge grabs' bacteria's and they breed in that
closed dark space. A heavy base can accentuate pimples
and wrinkles. |
|
4. |
After
foundation, and before powder, simulate fresh, natural
flushed cheeks with a gel blush color. |
|
5. |
Recipe
for Tinted Moisturizer: Make your own by mixing one
part foundation with two parts moisturizer in the palm
of your hand, then apply. |
|
6. |
Too
red or too sallow? Correct natural skin tone under color
with tinted primer. Use mint-green to neutralize redness
or blotchiness. Use violet to neutralize yellow tones.
White primer will neutralize all tones to give skin
a porcelain pale finish. Bronzing powder can help tone
down ruddy, uneven coloring skin tones, or rosacea |
|
7. |
When
applying concealer use a small nylon brush-a natural
brush will soak up the concealer. A nylon brush helps
blend in evenly without smearing |
|
8. |
Dark
olive, or African American skin is often darker on the
forehead where the sun hits. A slightly darker foundation
might be needed in this area. |
|
9. |
Soak
up excess foundation by pressing a clean sponge on the
face, especially around the nose and mouth where foundation
tends to collect. |
|
10. |
If
foundation looks heavy at the end of the day you can
freshen it by dabbing a moisturizer under the eyes and
smoothing it across the cheekbones. |
|
11. |
Light
reflecting foundations contain particles that detract
attention from lines and blemishes and add a subtle
glow to mature skin. |
