Applying makeup foundation
When correctly applied, base makeup will never make a woman look “overdone.” Some ladies worry that applying a base will look unattractive or too thick. This is incorrect. Application of a makeup base is just that: a lovely base for the rest of the features. Every lady who wishes to keep an attractive appearance should pay attention to the proper use of skin-toned makeup. It is a simple procedure that anyone can master if they invest a little time.
A makeup base gives a smooth finish to the overall look. It makes a significant difference in the success of using cosmetics. Powder and liquid products both work equally well. To choose the best color and type of makeup, test a small amount on the inner wrist or elbow. The color should go with the exact shade of the skin, and blend will. The proper tone will seem to fade right in without smudges or streaks. Make sure that the foundation is not too dark or too light for the occasion. If you have facial wrinkles then make sure that you get a foundation to cover wrinkles
Using the correct shade is only the first step in using base makeup. The base makeup should always be gently rubbed on the skin from top to bottom. This process causes the tiny hairs on the face to lay flat, and therefore be less noticeable. Place a small amount of the base makeup on fingertips or palm. Carefully place small amounts of the liquid on the forehead, nose, cheeks, and under eyes. Place some also on and under the chin. After the product has been place on the skin, then smooth it over the areas until nicely blended. Do not neglect the hairline or sides of face. Adding a toner to the base makeup can make it into a thinner solution. This will give a sheer look to the makeup, allowing the natural skin tone to come through the translucent sheen. Use these tricks every time, and the effect will be rewarding.
In addition you will need to get a facial cream that will cover all wrinkles and creases on your face.
