Natural makeup and a perfectly matched foundation are the dreams of many women. Unfortunately, not all of us can choose and apply colour cosmetics. See how it should be done and what mistakes should not be made.
Skin care vs makeup
These two elements are always connected. There is no perfect makeup without a well-maintained face. Before you do the makeup, take care of moisturizing, smoothing, firming and nourishing the skin. I mean the use of appropriate cosmetics, consumption of non-carbonated water and good-quality foods, makeup removal and regular visits to the beauty salon. How about taking care of your skin every morning before doing makeup? This is related to the first principle of applying the foundation.
How to apply foundation?
First of all, skin care
Every morning, apply a cream that matches the type of your skin. Do not forget about a toner, which will restore the proper pH of your face. Directly under the make-up, use a makeup primer and a concealer. Also, remember to cleanse your skin regularly, use exfoliating scrubs, apply masks and other products. Evening care is just as important as preparing your skin for makeup.
Secondly, foundation
The foundation should have the right shade. It cannot be too light nor too dark. Also, it should be chosen according to the season, type of skin and its condition. It may have mattifying, covering or brightening properties; it should always contain nutritional ingredients and as little as possible of artificial substances. Do not apply one thick layer; sometimes two thinner ones are enough and make the face look better.
Thirdly, makeup brushes
You can use not only brushes but also silicone sponges, regular sponges, and your own fingertips to apply the foundation. Remember that all accessories must be kept clean at all times. If you do makeup with dirty brushes or sponges, you can transfer germs to your face that have gathered on the bristles or in the applicator pores.
Last, but not least
The so-called mask effect is the biggest mistake made by girls when applying makeup. Luckily, it is very easy to avoid it! All you need to do is to blend out the cosmetic along your hairline, at the brows, mouth, nose and along the jawline. This way you will get the natural look and a perfect, flawless makeup.
