Applying Foundation


• Choose which type of foundation that suits your skin colour. It should match your face and neck colour. Choose carefully or else you’ll end up like a zombie.
• Use a foundation with SPF 15 to prevent future skin damage.
• You can ask for samples from the beauty advisor at the counter but not before determining your skin type.
• Do not use same foundation for the whole season, try blending colours sometimes as this is the only way to get a perfect skin match.
• Make sure to apply foundation around your neck, eyelids and lips for more natural look. This is also a good setting for eye shadow and lipstick to stay on longer.
• For girls with clear complexion you need to put tinted moisturizer to have that natural look.
• Liquid foundation is really good and best for girls with dry skin like me as this is water based. You just use sponge or your finger to blend it.
• Remember to shake it first before use as liquid foundation settle and separate while not in use.
• You can also apply loose powder using a large brush to “set” your foundation and to keep it from melting especially in a hot and humid place.
• Applying a moisturizer before foundation is really helpful for girls who has dry skin like me. I use nivea moisturizer and Max factor liquid foundation these two suits best for my skin.
• For girls with oily skin, powder foundation is best for you as it will help reduce shine.
• For girls with blemishes or dark spot use a concealer with pressed powder to cover it.
• If you think your make up is to heavy add moisturizer to thin it.
• After applying make-up, go outside or near a window to check for blunders and your ready to go……..enjoy your new face!!hehe
