![]() Do you conceal first or apply foundation? Are you meant to hold off on doing your base makeup till you’re done with your eyes, or vice versa? There’s a whole bunch of tips and tricks floating around the internet and everyone’s got their own explanation behind the makeup application order that works for them. I also recommend applying concealer *before* foundation.Knowing how to apply your makeup is one thing, but knowing which steps to follow when is a whole other ballgame. Make sure to blot as well, because an even powder application will be key in hiding discoloration, and leftover moisture from your foundation won’t allow this. Follow the steps in the post, but don’t buff over the area where’s there’s hyperpigmentation, as this would lessen the coverage. I really do recommend investing in a good flat top brush (I can’t hype the Sigma F80 more and it’s relatively cheap too!). Stippling is definitely going to be your friend. I really only use paddle brushes for concealer and occasionally for cream foundations if a model has great skin. And if you do the crosshatch method, you don’t get great coverage. If you want good coverage, you get brush streaks. Granted, I was never good at painting, but using a paddle brush kind of requires the same technique. The reason I normally don’t use a paddle brush (like the 190) is because I don’t like the coverage it gives and I find application a chore. This may seem a tad complicated, but ignoring the setting times, this whole thing takes 5-7 minutes at most, and results in smooth, even, porcelain skin. ![]() Finish with any other powders and blendĪpply any other powder products (blush, bronzer, contour, etc.), and blend well. If your foundation tends to set into your smile lines, you may wish to buff very lightly over this area once more using the same brush as before.Īpply loose powder with a puff, rolling and pushing it into the skin. Pay special attention to the eyelids, lines under the eyes, and the corners of the eyes (where excess product will definitely have creased and collected). Take a tissue, and blot all over your face, avoiding the nose if you have large pores. Keep buffing until the foundation starts to feel a bit tacky (it usually takes 2-3 passes over my entire face and under my jaw to get to this point).Īpply any cream face products (blush, highlighter, contour, etc.) 11. Make sure to buff under your eyes, over your eyelids, and around your hairline to blend the product into the tight borders surrounding these areas. This blurs imperfections and removes any excess product, and melds the product with your skin, giving it a natural skin-like texture. You may now go over your smile line area, which will only be covered with a small amount of product, greatly reducing the chance of creasing.Īfter you have stippled all over your entire face once, lightly buff in small circular motions using the same brush. Stipple all over your face, using any excess product to deal with problem areas. Stipple lightly where your ears connect to your face. Stipple this upwards to connect with the product on your face, and downwards slightly to fade it into your neck. Take the remainder of the product on your brush, and dot it under your jawline. Your entire face should now be covered (except for the small area around your smile lines). Take some on your brush, and stipple it across your forehead and into the hairline (almost as bad as the jawline is a blatant change in color at your hairline, which many people tend to neglect). You should have about 1/3 of the product left. ![]() Stipple across your forehead and into the hairline Stipple lightly over this area, taking the foundation applied under the eyes up and onto the eyelid and brow bone.Ħ. Take a bit of foundation on the outer edge of your brush, and dot lightly under the eyes, concentrating the product at the lower inner corners where your under-eyes are darkest. This next step is only if you regularly use foundation under your eyes, rather than or in conjunction with concealer. If you regularly use foundation under your eyes… Avoid the area where you get smile lines for now (this will look weird, but we’ll correct this malfeasance later.ĥ. With what is left on the brush, stipple over the area above your lips and below your mouth.
