Following on from our last article on the basics of foundation and concealer…here are some important tips that would help you in mastering these two steps of the application of Foundation and Concealer.

Makeup Tips - Application of Foundation and Concealer

Apply concealer lightly. A little bit can go a long way.

Don’t overdo the foundation. The goal here is to look as naturally beautiful as possible.

Always choose a foundation tone that matches your skin. Going too dark or too light is a mistake all women make. Test out your foundation in the store and make sure you have good lighting when you test it. Don’t test color on the inside of your wrist, test on your jaw line.

You should never apply foundation to your neck to make the color match your face. If there is a color difference, you are using a shade of foundation that is too dark.

Make sure you buy the correct type of foundation for your skin. If you have dry skin, use a liquid foundation and use powder or mineral foundation if you have oily skin.

If you have sensitive or problematic skin, don’t invest on cheap foundation because the cheaper brands can irritate your skin. Higher-end brands can actually improve the quality of your skin rather than irritating it.

If you need a lot of coverage on your face, use a liquid foundation followed by dusting, powdered foundation and then a translucent powder. Using the different types of foundations together will provide maximum protection and coverage and will look more natural than if you just cake one type of foundation on.

ALWAYS apply moisturizer before you start, to protect your skin.

Avoid touching your face during the day. You may rub off your foundation and you will be putting unnecessary oil on your face that may cause blemishes.

Be aware that your skin type may change over the year; your skin will probably be dryer in the winter and more oily in the summer. Use different types of foundation accordingly.

If you use makeup brushes to apply foundation make sure you wash them regularly because oil and dirt build up on them and you don’t want to put that on your face everyday. Nearly all brushes can be washed with a mild liquid soap, rinsed well and hung upside down to dry.

Do you think you’re applying your foundation and concealer properly? Think again! Almost 94% of women apply their foundation and concealer incorrectly!

Foundation Concealer Compact

1 Start by washing your hands to prevent touching your face with dirty hands. If your hands are dirty when you apply your makeup, you may get blemishes or pimples. Try using clean makeup sponges or brushes to apply foundation to avoid this risk.

2 Cleanse, tone and apply moisturizer to your entire face. This will protect your skin and make the makeup appear more natural.

Solid Concealer

3 Apply your concealer to your under-eye circles and to any blemishes on your face. Work with the direction of the eye muscle fibers to avoid unnecessary stretching of this delicate area. Tap the concealer on, working from the outside of the eye to the inside near the nose. Use a concealer with a peach or yellow undertone to counteract the dark color of under-eye circles. Use a green concealer to cover the red of broken capillaries or blemishes. Green cancels out red as they are opposite each other on the color wheel.

4 Apply your foundation with a sponge. Less is best. The aim is to even out the skin tones, not apply an opaque mask. Don’t apply to the neck, rather take it just under the jawline to avoid lines of demarkation.

5 Dust your face lightly with a translucent powder immediately after applying your foundation to give a nice matte finish and hold the coverage in place. The only time not to do this is if your skin is dry as powders tend to draw moisture up and out of the skin.

6 Apply any other makeup you may want to wear.

7 Look at your face closely in the mirror to make sure there are no spots of foundation that are not blended in properly. Also, if possible, ask another member of the household to make sure there are no spots that you didn’t see.

8 You’re set for the day! Follow these steps and you won’t have to worry about reapplying during the day.

Contouring Technique

Today for our YST readers we bring forth a technique that is used by all the makeup artists in the world. A technique that can transform the face shapes when done the right way.

Contouring is the art used in makeup to give the face or any other part of the body a more sculpted look. It plays a very important role in transforming your face.  The art is used to downplay the flaws or to push back the areas that are naturally receding. Generally a matte colour is chosen that is two shades darker than one’s skin tone to contour. The idea is to apply the colour and blend it well so that there are no harsh lines. You get contouring powders in the market. If you have a darker foundation than your skin tone, you could also put it to use for this purpose.

Common Areas To Contour –

• Under the cheek bones
• Jaw line
• Temples
• Bottom of the chin
• Along both sides of your nose
• Crease of your eyes
