A good foundation applied evenly makes a lot of difference to your make-up. Click on for a ‘how-to’ guide:
If your skin is dry, your best bet is a liquid or cream foundation with emollient ingredients like plant oils and moisturisers.
The best way to test the colour of foundation is to apply a small amount close to your jaw line. And once you have applied the foundation it is always best to check the colour in the sunlight (other lighting, such as fluorescent, will effect the colour). If the foundation blends so well that it is invisible, then you have a good match!
For oily skin, an oil-free liquid foundation with matte finish is recommended.
Those with normal-to-dry skin can experiment with liquid or cream or powder foundation that has a silky feel.
If your skin is normal-to-oily, your best bet is an oil-free liquid, cream or powder foundation.
If it’s combination skin (normal or dry on your cheeks and jaw but an oily T-zone), you should stick to a liquid foundation, but go slow on oily areas.
If it is liquid foundation, dip cotton swabs into the bottle once and remove the excess foundation by squeezing it. Apply a thin layer on your face and neck, and blend it.
If a spot requires more attention (a dark spot or blemish), use one of the make-up brushes to apply a very thin layer of foundation over the spot, then blend it with your fingers.
Lightly dust loose powder to set the foundation. And make sure to dust off the excess powder or else your face will look chalky.
If you've chosen a cream or powder foundation, use the enclosed puff or sponge to apply. Cover your face with one even layer. Add more if you need more coverage.
If the spots are still visible, you can try concealer. It should be one to two shades lighter than your skin tone. But make sure it is not too light that it spells disaster. You’ll end up calling attention to the very flaws you want to conceal.
A yellow-based tone will be more flattering than a too-light, whitish shade.
