Applying Makeup Concealer and Base Foundation
Learn how you can lay down the base makeup for a fresh complexion
throughout the day by following these simple steps in applying concealer
and foundation. This is the base of your makeup. It is important to know
how to apply them properly to get your desired makeup look.
- Apply an oil-free moisturize to your skin and softly wipe with a
clean cloth. This will soften skin and eliminate dry patches. Using
a clean facial tissue, remove the excess moisturizer after a few
minutes. Make sure that your face has been thoroughly washed before
this.
- Blend a makeup primer on your face. Start from the center of
your face then move outwards. If you are applying on your cheeks, do
it on an upward motion. This will give you a smooth base for your
foundation and concealer. A primer actually makes your makeup blend
well and look more flawless.
-
 Choose a foundation that matches your skin tone. You can seek
the aid of your makeup artist or favorite makeup seller for these.
They know how to check the right tone of your foundation depending
on the acidity of your skin. Make sure that you choose something
which texture works well with your skin type. Powder or cream-based
foundation is ideal to use for oilier skin to avoid unwanted sheen
on your skin. Liquid formula on the other hand is better to use for
dry skin. Avoid using a foundation that contains oil because it will
only cause your makeup to break up.
- Check the coverage of the foundation before purchase. Light
coverage is good if you have an even and smooth skin. Heavier
coverage formula is best if your skin has uneven tones and a lot of
blemishes. If you fall somewhere in between, use a medium coverage
foundation. Smooth the foundation all over your face including the
area under the eyes and the eyelids. Foam can help you even out your
application.
- Dab concealer under your eye area. Start at the corner of your
eyes near the bridge of the nose. This will cover darkness without
over-brightening this area. Choose a concealer one tone lighter than
your skin tone. This will even out upon application. Use your ring
finger in dabbing. This is the finger to use since will help you
apply concealer with the right pressure. Be careful in application
since this skin is very delicate.
- Cover scars and blemishes that are still evident under your
foundation using a cover-up of camouflage stick. Use one that is
half shade lighter than your foundation. Make sure that all lines
blend well in your skin for a more seamless finish.
- Finish up by dusting your face with a translucent powder.
Mineral loose powder can also work well.
