Achieving flawless foundation is one of the trickiest parts of a makeup routine.<\/p>\n
Foundation is the base for other applications like your contour and blush, so you need to make sure to get it right. Cakey\/flaky foundation is never\u00a0ideal, but lucky for you, we discovered\u00a0the best tips to get the most flawless finish.<\/p>\n

\n<\/strong>Before applying primer, apply\u00a0a correcting moisturizer. It’s different from standard moisturizers because it improves\u00a0clarity and radiance for a brighter, even-looking skin tone — leaving your shade even more flawless. We recommend\u00a0the Doctor D. Schwab Flawless Skin Fluid<\/a>\u00a0(which also happens to come in the FabFitFun Welcome Box V.2<\/a>!)\u00a0because it reduces the appearance of hyper pigmentation and softens rough patches.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Many think that moisturizer is enough to\u00a0prep the\u00a0skin for foundation. However, primer does what moisturizer doesn’t — it\u00a0smoothes and corrects\u00a0your skin while\u00a0giving your foundation something to hold onto, which in turn helps foundation\u00a0to last all day.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Concealer isn’t just meant to be used to cover blemishes. You can also use it to brighten up certain parts of your face. We like to apply concealer on the bridge of our nose, under our eyes (in an upside down triangle shape), on the cupid’s bow, on the chin, and in the t-zone —\u00a0after<\/em>\u00a0foundation. It’ll look like you’re glowing from within! Tip: Use a shade that’s lighter than your foundation.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Don’t use your fingers to apply foundation because it will make\u00a0it look\u00a0streaky and uneven. Use a sponge or brush instead as it’s more efficient. It will also leave you with a smooth finish and the most natural-looking coverage. We use the\u00a0OFRA #20<\/a>\u00a0(also in the Welcome Box V.2<\/a>)\u00a0for cream or powder foundation as it helps blend foundation evenly while being able to cover small areas and tight corners on the face.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>After you’ve finished applying your concealer and foundation, don’t forget to set your hard work. We like to use a loose setting powder over areas that tend to get shiny (between the eyebrows, down and around the nose, under the eye, and on the chin). If you find your makeup looks too harsh or isn’t blended enough, spray your sponge with\u00a0rose water tonic and blot your face to further set your makeup.<\/p>\n
