Your search is over!  

You have finally discovered the perfect foundation that matches your skin tone to the tee. That's great! However...........



You have to know how to apply it correctly.  

Otherwise, you will end up looking like....for want of a better word, a clown.  




To get a flawless complexion, here are eight easy steps.  


Step One

Start with clean hands and cleansed face.

Step Two

Apply makeup primer or moisturizing sunscreen that is suitable for your skin type.  When your skin is properly moisturized, you will find that the foundation will glide on smoothly.   

If you wonder why celebrities have flawless skin, well. this is the secret.   Primers will enhance the skin smoothness far better than just using only a foundation.

Tip: For best results, wait for the moisturizer, sunscreen and primer to set for about 20 minutes.

Step Three

Tissue off any excess moisturizer.  Oily skin will only make the foundation slide off.

Step Four

Even out your dark undereye circles with a concealer.  

Pat gently and never rub concealer into your skin.








Step Five

Use a makeup sponge or you can also use the tips of your fingers.  Dot the foundation on your cheeks, chin, forehead and the tip of your nose.  A foundation brush, if you have one will soak up less foundation and blends flawlessly.


Tips: 

  • Pay attention to your hairline and jawline to make sure that there is no obvious line.
  • Set the foundation with loose powder once you have completed blending.
  • You don't need to put foundation on your whole face.  Spot fix for those areas that need coverage which is usually the eyes, nose and chin.
  • Instead of foundation, choose tinted moisturizers or what we call BB cream.  It is lighter and gives your skin a dewy complexion.
  • If you like to use a makeup sponge, after every application, wash thoroughly with water  and dry it out away from the sun so that it does not harbor bacteria.

Exotic pair twirls mid-air,

Mating dance, And if by chance,

She likes his ritual nuance,

The male's preening prance.

Head raised, a confident stance.

His wings were strong and long in length,

The female sensed the male has strength,

For nature deemed that she must succeed,

To choose a mate, to live, to breed,
