Before applying makeup, all women firsttint the skin - this is done to hide imperfections, unevenness, enlarged pores and rashes. How do we usually use foundation? It's simple - we take the product on our fingers and spread the tone all over the face, then grab the neck (and not everyone does this), and that's it - we think the product is perfect. In fact, you just need to understand how to apply foundation correctly, this is the only way to achieve a flawless result. And you need to start with the right choice of product.
Choosing a tonal tool
Sales consultants advise choosingfoundation for your skin type, and they are absolutely right, you also need to consider the color - only a light tone is suitable for fair skin, and the corresponding tone is suitable for dark skin. For oily skin, choose more liquid products - they are sold in tubes and have the consistency of heavy cream. They will not only cover the skin with a thin layer, but also nourish it with minerals and vitamins. If you have inflamed skin, with habitual pimples and acne, then refuse creams, it is better to use dry compact powder. It is sold with a special sponge, which can be slightly moistened before use - this way the powder will lie more evenly. Creams are suitable for dry and sensitive skin - in bottles or tubes. Such foundations contain vitamins A and E, as well as hyaluronic acid. These useful additives will nourish the skin, providing a healing effect. To apply foundation, it is ideal to use a sponge - then the cream will lay evenly, and the skin will appear matte, without roughness and imperfections. For older ladies, whose skin is already riddled with fine wrinkles, you need to choose a liquid foundation - it will lay on the face in an even thin layer and will not highlight wrinkles, but, on the contrary, fill them, making them almost invisible. By the way, in order to apply such a cream, it is not necessary to use special devices, you can resort to the help of your own fingers, just control the amount of the product. So, the foundation has been chosen, and now you need to learn how to apply it to the face correctly - after all, you want to have a flawless appearance, right?
Flawless tone
First, understand one thing - before you startTo apply foundation, you need to clean your face, for example, with lotion or just warm water and soap. Make a base with a day cream. It is better to use your usual cream - apply it to your face and wait for about five minutes, let it be absorbed, and remove the excess with a napkin. The foundation should be distributed over the face in circles - from the center to the cheekbones. Do not try to do it in the opposite order - all your pores and wrinkles will absorb the product and become even more noticeable. You cannot apply large portions at once - it is better to use small peas, so it will be easier to spread the cream evenly over the entire surface. It is much more convenient to use a sponge - this is especially true for liquid products, for creams of a thicker consistency, you can use your fingers. You cannot use a sponge for a long time - it gets clogged and dirty, can lead to infectious rashes, it must be changed from time to time. If you use compact dry powder, then applying it with a porous sponge will be the ideal option. Just pay attention to what the sponge is made of - banal foam rubber will not work, it is so rough that it can cause micro-scratches. You can use a brush, especially since this way the dry powder will lie more evenly. If there is peeling on the face, then you need to first treat the skin with a greasy cream, and then apply the foundation - then the skin will be smooth and flawless. Here, when applying, it is also better to use a sponge. The technique of applying foundation is not special, you just need to put in a little effort and patience. And you should also know that even the slightest errors in makeup will be visible in natural light. Therefore, if you applied the product under artificial light, go to the window and see if everything turned out well. You can correct unsuccessful strokes with dry powder, to do this, make swings with a brush from the cheekbones to the chin. Once your face is in order, be sure to match its color to your neck – a little foundation will help hide the difference.
What is the best way to apply the product?
Ladies have a brush, a sponge andyour own fingers. What to choose, you need to decide individually, but there are some nuances here. Firstly, keep in mind that fingers are the most economical way to use foundation, they do not absorb excess. Secondly, a sponge can only be used for liquid foundation, you can also choose a sponge, but they are usually made of cheap foam rubber and absorb any liquid at all quite strongly, let alone cream.

Just choose a flat brush for this, not a round one - it will be easier to "draw".
