How to Apply Foundation

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Foundation helps to even out skin tone and give the look of flawless skin. Apply in the
morning and set with powder to keep a smooth complexion all day.

Instructions

• STEP 1: Begin with clean hands and a clean face.
• STEP 2: Apply moisturizer appropriate to your skin type. Let it set a few
minutes, particularly if your skin is oily.

•

STEP 3: Camouflage under-eye circles and blemishes with concealer.

•

STEP 4: Select a foundation that is appropriate to your skin type and the
coverage you wish to achieve. The color should match your skin, disappearing
when blended well.

• STEP 5: Shake the bottle well to mix the formula. Or, simply open a stick or
compact version.
• STEP 6: Place a small amount of foundation on the back of one hand. Dip your
makeup sponge or your middle finger into it.
• STEP 7: Apply to the center of your face: cheeks, forehead, chin.
