Foundation & Powders
. To avoid looking dated (especially on photos), keep your makeup simple & natural.
(Hint: use colors belonging to the same family).
. Make sure your foundation (base) is sheer & light to prevent
caking. Apply it on a clean & moisturised face. Use a little bit at
a time & blend it well either using your fingers or cosmetic
sponge, whichever you prefer. A damp sponge would be of some help too.
(Note:
1 way to prevent bacteria on your hand from getting into that bottle of
foundation & contaminating it is to pour the foundation onto a
clean sponge first, & then let your fingers pick it up from there.)
. The foundation shade that is right for you is one that should disappear into your skin.
. Forget-not to blend foundation around hairline, ears, jawline, upper neck, eyelids & lips.
. Powdering after foundation helps set the foundation, absorbs oil & serves as a boost for a flawless look.
.
Never add translucent face powder when your face starts to "oil". This
would make instant cakes! Use a face mist spray instead, afterwhich
blot with tissue before applying face powder. Another easy way to
control oil is to blot using oil-absobing papers. They are certainly a
good alternative to putting more powder.
. Foundations with ingredients that reflect light make skin radiant & blemish free.
. Thick foundation can be mixed with some light moisturiser to give a sheer finish.
. If you are dark-skinned, put on some shimmery loose powder for a radiant look.
. When there is a pimple o
r
any inflamed patch on the face, apply a soothing natural ointment
(containing ingredients like noni or aloe vera) over it before covering
with foundation. Or simply leave that area makeup-free until it has
healed.
