keep it simple. wash your face well. then apply a good moisturizer. it's important your skin not be dry or flaky, if it is, your foundation will clump in the dry areas. then apply your foundation. there are several ways you can go about doing this depending on the amount of coverage you need. you can just use your fingers for light coverage. just put a little on your fingers and apply with a light upwards motion. for more moderate coverage use a wedge shaped makeup sponge, use it the same way as with your fingers, just dabbing a small amount of foundation at a time on your sponge. for heavy coverage use a foundation brush. it's very good for covering up blotchy skin tones, but it requires more practice than the others. try to use light, even strokes. as with all methods, blending is essential. make sure you've blended well into the jawline. you don't want to look like you're wearing a mask.


hope this helps you.Makeup question...ladies please help?
Before you apply any foundation make sure you skin is properly exfoliated and moisturized. The most expensive foundation in the world cant help if you have dry skin. Remember dead skin absorbs makeup quickly and causes your skin to look flaky. You can buy exfoliators and moisturizers at any drugstore or skin counter. You can also use a primer on your face to even the application out. These too can be found in drugstores or makeup counters.





Another trick is to apply your foundation with a makeup brush. I use MAC 187 brush, you constantly dap the foundation on your face giving you an airbrushed look. You can also use any synthetic foundation brush. I also have one I purchased in CVS from Essence of Beauty.





When you set your foundation with powder use a fluffy brush with light strokes. A powder puff puts way too much powder and makes you look flaky.





Hope this helped.
