Top Tips For Perfecting the Very Foundation of Makeup


There are many women who have this unwanted fear that applying foundation will make them look as if they have gone overboard with their makeup. Nothing could be further from truth since foundation quite literally is the foundation for looking good. Applying makeup foundation is therefore something that no fashion conscious woman can neglect if she wants to look at her best. Moreover, there is no rocket science involved behind applying makeup foundation too. The whole process is rather simple and you just need to invest a few minutes.


The reason why applying makeup foundation is important is to get that even finish to your look. Depending on your preference you can use both liquid and compact foundations for your makeup. Whenever you are choosing from among different foundation brands make sure that you test it on the inside of your forearm skin. The foundation that you choose should also exactly match the tone of your skin. The right color will disappear into the skin.


Whenever you are applying foundation makeup, you must make sure that it is applied downwards. The impact of facial hair is minimized when you apply it this way. The best way to start off with the application would be to take out a small quantity of the foundation on the palm of your hand and then apply it in the form of dots on the different sections of your face. You can start with the forehead region and then gradually move down till the neck region. Take special care to ensure that it is applied properly on your chin, nose and cheeks. There is one more tip that you can follow which is to dilute the foundation and add a bit of astringent to it. What this does is to make it soft and allows your skin to virtually show through. These steps need to be followed carefully when you are applying makeup foundation.
