What is the definition to flawless foundation?
Flawless foundation blends naturally into the skin for a beautiful semi-matte finish that lasts all day long. The liquid formula helps restore uneven skin textures and tones for visibly brighter skin and perfect for all skin types.
So, here is the formula for flawless foundation:
1. Wash
- Always make sure sure to start off with freshly cleaned skin. Be sure to choose a cleanser that is suitable for your skin.
2. Tone/Treat
- Toner helps to tighten skin for a smoother appearance. Spot treat to heal acne blemishes if necessary.
3. Moisturize
- Moisturizing your skin helps for an even makeup application. Avoid drying out your skin and flaky makeup.
4. Prime
- Primer reduces the appearance of pores and acts as a barrier between your skin and the makeup, reducing clogged pores.
5. Foundation
- Foundation creates a muted base for your makeup application. Even out skin tone.
6. Conceal
- Concealer, usually a shade or two lighter than your skin tone, is used to brighten areas on your face and hide blemishes.
7. Set
- Setting with a powder helps to keep your makeup in place longer. Without “setting” liquid makeup can “shift” throughout the day.
8. Contour
- Contouring helps to shape your face. Making some areas (nose, chin, cheekbones) appear smaller or more defined.
9. Highlight
- Highlighting helps to accentuate high points on your face and attract more light to certain features.
10. Blush
- Blush is usually applied to add color to the cheekbones.
