This is my favorite part about applying makeup on someone, applying the foundation!~ Laying down a flawless foundation is so key to making or breaking a look and here are a few of the pointers I’ve picked up along the way. These are tips from SHISEIDO, artists through youtube, friends, internet etc.  I wanted to summarize them to make it comprehensive and easy to use.

I love how Asian makeup artist to stars really know how to finish makeup with such perfection~~

STEP 1: CLEANSE – applying makeup to clean skin is 1 of the key pointers to helping the make up last long.

STEP 2: SKINCARE – after you’ve applied your skin care, let it sit for a bit (3 – 5 minutes) to allow you skin to absorb everything. You don’t want to apply foundation on top of a layer of  lotion. You want to apply it to your skin.

STEP 3: PRIMER – using a primer under your foundation will allow your skin to be used as a smooth palette. Primers smooth out your skin tone and surface.

STEP 4: FOUNDATION -

and Its Purpose (click here to read more)

Foundation is exactly as the word implies : it is the foundation (basis) for a beautiful face. The purpose of foundation is to even out the skin tone and hide imperfections. Its purpose is not to disguise the face, draw attention to inevitable flaws, or even shock the viewers. It is the primer for which to showcase the features that we most adore. – www.makeup-artist-world.com

STEP 5: SET WITH POWDER – this will help the foundation stay put.

- APPLICATORS -

: For liquid, cream, concealer, stick type :

1. Sponge Wedge – you can use the sponge dry or wet. Soaking the sponge will prevent the sponge from absorbing the foundation in the sponge so you end up using less product. NEVER smear the product on your face but dab to blend.

2. Foundation brush (painter’s brush) – I personally like using the brush on older skin. Helps me to get product into fine lines. CONS: if it’s not blended well, you can leave streaks all over your face

3. Stippling brush – (a.k.a. Skunk tail brush) the dual layer of synthetic hairs allows for brush to really get into areas other applicators can’t. Also, the motion of stippling creates an airbrushed finish

4. Fingers – yep! you can even use your fingers. The warmth in fingers will help mold the foundation to your face. (I don’t recommend this if you’re a makeup artist applying it on a client)

: For pressed powders, twin cakes, mineral powder type:

5. Sponge puff – the puff will get the minerals into itself to release as you puff it onto your face

6. Powder brush – apply in a circular motion for light coverage and dab on for heavier

      Hello! If you want to gain massive backlinks for your website and get massive traffic for your website check out this
      xrumer
      I just ordered from them before 1 month as of today my website rankings in google increased tremandously. My website is now #1 for quite a competitive keyword also got some traffic from this campaign. I was stupid enough and ordered also from some other xrumer service providers but oh boy this was like flushing down my money in toilet, I got maybe 30 backlinks from them and almost no traffic. After I read sales page at
      xrumer blast
      I now understand why other xrumer service providers failed with their junk blasts they sent nothing more then shit logs I couldn’t even find one single direct link to my post. Then I got report from
      xrumer

      and ALL of the links in log file was working perfectly. I ordered only 10K links but they provided 12500. What an amazing xrumer service. No other xrumer service can stay even close. This is most powerful backlink service ever I have come accross period.

      Enjoyed the post. This blog was worth bookmarking but this is going on Delicious now!

    10. Can I make a suggestion? I think youve got something good here. But what if you added a couple links to a page that backs up what youre saying? Or maybe you could give us something to look at, something that would connect what youre saying to something tangible? Just a suggestion.

    11. I enjoyed reading your blog. Keep it that way.
