Misunderstandings about using foundation How to use foundation correctly

Foundation is the most important step in makeup. If the foundation is not applied well, the makeup afterwards will be a disaster. But you can’t just pick up any foundation and use it all the time. There are some tricks involved!

1. Use the same foundation all year round

Throughout the year, our skin color changes due to different climates, temperatures, and sunlight. Therefore, it is important to have at least two different foundations throughout the year to accommodate your changing skin color. You can choose two foundations from the same brand in different shades and then adjust the color to suit your skin in proportion.

2. Apply thick foundation

The thickness of the foundation should be kept uniform to make a beautiful base makeup. When the skin is in poor condition, when using local concealer, many girls will apply a thick layer on certain areas, but this method is not recommended. Although you can't see any difference in a short time, after a period of time, the foundation will be absorbed by the skin, and the whole makeup will look particularly inconsistent and uneven. If there are blemishes, you can use concealer to cover the blemishes on your face.

3. Apply foundation on your hands to test the color

It is incorrect to apply foundation on your hands to test the color. This is a mistake most girls make. Since the thickness of subcutaneous fat and facial skin is different from the thickness of arm skin, the effects of these two parts are completely different. If you want to test the color, you can apply it to the chin or the outside of the cheek.

1. Apply liquid foundation on the forehead, cheeks, nose wings and chin, then spread it with your fingers and pat it evenly.

2. After applying the liquid foundation on your face, use a sponge to gently spread it evenly.

3. Take an appropriate amount of liquid foundation on the back of your hand, then lightly sweep it with a brush and apply it on your face.

When choosing a foundation, you must first figure out whether your skin is cool or warm toned, so that you can choose a foundation that suits you.

You can compare the color card according to the color of your clothes or makeup, so you know what tone of foundation you should use.

You can also look at your own veins. Generally, people with warm green tones have more veins, while people with cool purple tones have more veins. Both are common in people with neutral skin.

When choosing foundation, you can apply some foundation on the intersection of cheeks and neck to better judge whether it blends with your skin tone. In short, natural concealing is the key. If the foundation is too white, it will give people an unnatural feeling. Remember to apply foundation on the exposed neck as well.

Different textures of foundation represent different uses. Generally, liquid foundation is the most popular choice. It is not picky about skin conditions and is relatively easy to use. It can cover blemishes and marks with one touch, and the makeup lasting effect is also good.

Pressed powder is more suitable for touch-ups or for girls with flawless skin.

Cream foundation is used for special effects makeup, stage makeup and studio makeup.

Choose makeup remover water or makeup remover oil to remove foundation. Generally speaking, the thicker the makeup, the more you need to use a makeup remover containing oil. If you wear heavy makeup every day, it is recommended to use makeup remover oil. If your makeup is light, then using makeup remover water can remove the makeup on your face very cleanly.
