Makeup Tip #23: How to Apply Foundation

Applying Foundation

Applying Foundation How-To. Use vegan and cruelty free makeup and brushes.

Step 1: Prep your face with primer. After you have applied your moisturizer and SPF, put on the primer. Primer smooths skin and sets a base for the foundation. Wait about 30 seconds for the primer to set.

Step 2: Next, put concealer where you need to. This way, you can use the foundation to blend away skin color differences that the concealer causes.

Step 3: Apply foundation with a brush. Work in the foundation with a flat top kabuki brush in small, circular motions. Use a smaller rounded tip brush for more precision around your nose and eyes.

Step 4: Make sure to apply foundation to your jawline, neck, and decollete. Putting foundation in these spots prevents you from having a two-tone skin issue.
