I've been asked time and again by my dear friends to share makeup tips so on popular demand from my girlies out there I'm starting this :
post # 1
& for
1. Match your foundation to your skin as closely as possible but go 1 shade lighter.
to appear bright complexioned.
2. Your skin tone is as important as the colour. For warm tones use yellow based foundations for cool tones use pink toned foundation. For neutral skin tone you can choose either of above or orangeish toned
foundations.
3. Do not use a foundation of the same shade as your skin as it will get darker in a couple hours due to oxidation and you will look like oompa loompa . Neither use a foundation too light as it will make you look like a circus clown or the Japanese Geisha.
4.Its best to use foundation sparingly and with a light hand increasing the amount as you go on first keep the coverage very light, then slowly increase in areas where you need more coverage. Do not slap on foundation all over your face like its a moisturiser because its not. Its best to use fingers, beauty blender or a stippling brush.
5. To avoid looking like a round piece of cake either trace your cheekbones later ( ) after using foundation or strategically place more of foundation in areas of your face where light hits more like high points of cheekbones, nose, forehead, under-eye area and chin ( ).
6. Extend your foundation to your neck and chest as well so your face doesnt appear weird in colour against the rest of your body.
5.After applying foundation lock it in place with powder. Liquid and powder together seal the deal. Use a fluffy brush and dust face powder all over lightly after applying foundation and you're ready to face the day with your flawless face!
