Six types of foundation: the correct steps for applying foundation

Foundation is a cosmetic used for base application. There are many kinds of foundation. Foundations of different textures have different usage methods and are suitable for different skin types. Foundation is the basis of makeup and can adjust uneven skin tone.

Foundation is divided into six categories: pressed powder, powdered foundation, liquid foundation, gouache cream, cream foundation, and cream foundation.

Dip a small amount of liquid foundation on a sponge and apply it evenly on your face. This will make the makeup look thinner. Use a makeup brush to evenly apply the liquid foundation on your face. Apply it evenly with a stroke of the brush. The liquid foundation is now applied.

1. Apply the foundation evenly and from top to bottom, along the direction of facial hair to make the foundation penetrate deeply;

2. Applying the foundation gently and finely will help it stay on the skin for a long time. Once the foundation settles on the face, wipe off the uneven excess foundation with tissue paper.

3. The color should match your skin tone. The choice of foundation depends on your skin type. The use of dry powder is to make the makeup smoother, firmer, and less likely to fall off, which plays a role in "setting makeup". When using dry powder, you should also choose a color that matches your skin tone. First, apply foundation, dip a powder puff in a little dry powder and pat it evenly with another powder puff. First, lightly apply the dry powder to five parts of the face: forehead, cheeks, nose, eyes, and chin.
