How To Make Foundation Look Natural
It is easy. It is all about making your skin look even and covering up your blemishes. So, read on to know where you are doing it wrong.
Even-skin tone is all about choosing the right shade of foundation. Test it on several areas of your face before choosing. Remember this: the shade of the foundation should match your skin.
Liquid foundation is better; powder foundation isn't. Why? Well, it gets flaky and dry. Also, it doesn't spread well on the contours of your skin.
Using fingers isn't the right way. Foundation brushes exist for a purpose. Use them.
Apply a moisturiser. Wait for 10-15 minutes. Then start with your foundation. This helps your skin absorb some moisture.
A thick layer all over your face and neck looks exactly like that: a thick layer. Instead, use the foundation sparingly and that too only on 75% of the areas of your skin. You must then blend it evenly all over your face.
It is better to go without it as it doesn't sit well on the foundation. It gets flaky and dry.
Using a primer helps the foundation stick well to your skin and also provides a smoother finish.Y This way, your skin will look good for hours together.
Focusing only on the face and ignoring the neck might make it look odd. Include the neck and blend it well.
Use a concealer over the foundation and cover your blemishes. But blend it well.
To achieve an even complexion, we tend to over do the foundation sometimes; this spoils the look and gives the picture of over make-up.
