As fall and winter approach, wearing foundation or any type
of face makeup becomes more common to cover up any redness or dryness that has
been developed from the harsh cold. Whether your skin is sensitive, oily, or a
combination of the two, foundation could do more than just make your skin look
better—it could protect it. You may not even realize it, but it is possible to
get sunburn and even wind burn from the weather. With the appropriate
foundation, you could be saving your skin a lot of unknown damage that will
take its toll later in life.
Due to the fact that everybody’s skin is different, I will not be listing exactly what products I personally use. This depends on what your skin is like and what type of product it is tailored to.
Directions:
1. As usual, begin with a clean face and hands.
This is essential to keep any dirt from hiding in your pores and giving you
acne later.
2. Next, apply a moisturizer by putting the
appropriate amount on the tips of your fingers and applying it all over your
face. If you have a moisturizer with SPF, it will be even better to keep the sun's rays from damaging your skin as well as the wind.
3. Prime your skin. This step isn't required but if you're having a long day and there is a possibility of you sweating or your makeup running off, it is suggested. Your makeup will last a lot longer and appear more vibrant and smooth.
4.You can finally begin with your foundation. Make sure it's one that is right for your skin. For instance, if you have oily skin, don't pick an oil foundation. For a complete foundation look, stick with liquid. If you don't need heavy coverage, skip this step or use a BB Cream or tinted moisturizer. Using either your hands or a brush/sponge, begin applying the product onto your skin. Be sure to blend the foundation down to your neck to avoid a mask-like effect. Also, blend out the product to avoid streaks or lines.
5. With a concealer that matches your foundation, begin covering up any blemishes or imperfections. Apply the product to your ring finger and begin patting it into the skin until it is fully blended out. Don't cover up under your eyes just yet because depending on the darkness of them, you might need a different concealer.
6. If you have darker under eye circles, this step is for you. Find a concealer that is a little lighter than your skin tone. With your ring finger, begin lightly patting the product beneath your eyes and focusing on the inner corners. Typically, it is darkest there and by putting a lighter product in place of it, it can draw light to your face.
7.With a powder (pressed or loose) and a large fluffy brush, begin lightly dusting the powder all over your skin. Again, blend the product up into your hairline and down your neck. Focus the powder more so on areas that are more oily and also beneath the eyes. This will "set" your makeup and give a more matte look, but it will also allow your makeup to last all day.
