How to Achieve a Smooth Foundation Application

Caked or cracked foundation is definitely an application fo paux we want to avoid.  Covering up tired, puffy eyes or the little lines that give away our age can be a challenge, but adding more concealer or foundation to our skin isn’t always the answer.

When Less is More!

Most foundation users tend to use way too much product which can lead to cakey results.

Instead take half of whatever amount you initially thought was right and work with that.

For liquid and cream foundations place a single dot on each cheek, nose, chin, forehead and jawline. Using a brush or a damp sponge, start in the middle of your face and blend outwards.

If you’re using powder foundation dust a small amount down each side of your nose and blend it outward.
