1. Great makeup starts with great skin so drink lots of water, exfoliate and hydrate the skin with a moisturizer. Don't be afraid of a moisturizer just pick one appropriate for your skin type.
2. Use a makeup primer. Primer will provide a smooth surface for the foundation to lay on your skin and help the makeup stay put for hours.
3. Makeup isn't hard to do if you have the right tools. Find the right tool designed for your makeup. The tools that you want to keep handy are heavy duty sponges and foundation brushes. When applying makeup with a sponge some times if you dampen the sponge with water you an get a softer coverage. If you select a foundation brush apply foundation on the top of your hand and dip the brush into the product then apply to your face. With the proper technique your foundation can look its best in no time.
4. Find a great concealer to cover up any imperfections that your foundation does not cover. Do not depend on your foundation for all the coverage because it ends up looking too artificial. Apply the concealer on top of the foundation be sure to use a concealer brush for the best application. A creamy concealer is used only for under the eyes and a matte concealer for the other trouble areas.
5. Pick a setting powder that you love. Powder will seal the deal and hold the makeup properly and if used correctly will make your face look perfectly polished. Avoid using too much powder because it will settle in fine line and large pores resulting in your skin looking dull. Investing in a velour powder puff and a full size powder brush is a great solution to keep the powder application soft.
6. Find a bronzer or a face glow to warm up the skin and give ideal radiance. Apply bronzer with a chubby bronzer brush and work it onto the face creating a backwards 3. This will give you even distribution and still provide the honey golden sparkle. Dusting bronzer on the neck, arms, and delicate is also recommended.......start light and you can always build.
7. When thinking about foundation always consider the shelf life of it 6-12 months period. When the color, texture and smell changes of a liquid foundation it needs to be tossed. Just as the seasons change the color and condition of your skin may change so you have to update foundation so that the color, coverage and texture match the current condition of your skin.
8. Lastly, allow your foundation enhance a pretty face and reveal the best new you this spring.
