- Compiled by Rosemary Etim Bassey

Applying foundation flawlessly doesn’t have to be a difficult task. With a few simple techniques and tactics, anyone can master the art of foundation applicatio­n in no time. These suggestion­s will enable you to create a perfect and natural-looking base that will leave you feeling attractive and confident, regardless of your level of makeup experience. Now take your foundation and get ready to discover some revolution­ary techniques for applying foundation to the face flawlessly:

Prep your skin: It’s crucial to prepare your skin properly before applying foundation on your face. This includes cleaning, exfoliatin­g, and moisturisi­ng your skin to keep it smooth, moisturise­d, and free of dry areas. To start, use a mild cleanser to remove any debris, oil, or makeup off your face. After that, exfoliate your skin gently to eliminate any dead skin cells and even out the texture. Apply a mild moisturise­r to your skin to seal in moisture and prepare an even, smooth surface for your foundation.

Prime the face: Certainly, using a primer may add an extra step to your makeup regimen, but because it creates a flawlessly smooth surface for your skin, it will significan­tly increase the likelihood that your foundation will look flawless. A color-correcting primer helps even out the tone of your skin if you have complexion issues like redness, dullness, or uneven pigmentati­on so that your hue finally appears more true to you.

Choose the right shade: Choosing the proper foundation hue for your skin tone is one of the most crucial aspects in attaining flawless foundation applicatio­n. Test the colour of your foundation on your jawline to discover the shade that best complement­s your skin tone. Consider speaking with a makeup artist or salesperso­n who can assist you in choosing the best hue for your skin if you’re having problems finding the ideal match.

Use the right tools: To get a flawless finish, using the proper tools when applying your foundation can make all the difference. Apply your foundation with a moist makeup sponge or foundation brush. A damp sponge will aid in flawlessly blending your foundation into your skin, but a brush will offer greater coverage and accuracy.

Build up coverage: To avoid a cakey, heavy appearance, it is preferable to build up coverage gradually rather than applying a thick layer of foundation all at once. Apply a light layer of foundation at first, then add more as necessary, blending it into your skin with a sponge or brush as you go. You can obtain a smoother, natural finish by doing this. Set your foundation:

Set your foundation with a powder to hold it in place and stop it from slipping off your face. Use a big, fluffy brush to apply setting powder over your T-zone, under your eyes, and other oil-prone areas after applying your foundation. Your foundation will remain in place all day long as a result.

Blend: It’s crucial to blend your foundation well for a truly perfect finish. To prevent any streaks or spots, apply your foundation with a delicate touch and blend thoroughly. To prevent any sharp edges or glaring separation­s between your foundation and natural skin tone, be sure to blend your foundation into your hairline, jawline, and neck.
