How To Apply Foundation Like a Pro!

Hey guys!

I've  decided to enlighten you on a few foundation tips and tricks that I learnt to get a flawless base. 

Many of us think it's just slapping foundation on your face and you're good to go, well it's not if you want your foundation to last all day. Lets start off with the basics in 5 easy steps

Step 1

EXFOLIATE , I have learnt this game-changing tip from the Huda Beauty Masterclass I've attended last December and I can tell you, It's amazing.

Don't you hate when you apply your foundation, powder and all of a sudden there's a dry patch on your face? Well that's why one should exfoliate for a smooth canvas.

You can also use exfoliating wipes if you're a make-up artist that's always on the go.

Step 2

MOISTURIZE. 

Hydrating your face is key in any foundation routine, I like to use a sunblock during the day. 

Step 3

PRIME.

Many people tend to skip this important step. Priming your face allows the foundation to stick to your skin so that it can last all day. 

You get different types of primers. I like to use primers that give me a dewy glow on my skin, I sometimes like to use a pore filling primer just on the T-zone.

Step 4

TRANSLUCENT POWDER 

This sounds pretty crazy but applying translucent powder will keep your foundation in place all day and also fill in fine lines and minimize pores.  

Step 5

FOUNDATION 

Finally, apply your foundation with a buffing brush and buff all over your skin, then lightly pounce a Beauty Blender to get rid of any lines caused by the foundation. 

After that you can apply your concealer where needed and set your face with a spray. I like using rose water. (diy setting spray coming soon)
