Applying foundation can be a challenge sometimes, especially if you’re not sure which technique or formula is best for you. There are different types of foundations, each with their own unique benefits and uses. In this blog post, we’ll discuss how to apply the different types of foundations so you can achieve a radiant, even complexion every time!
What are the different types of foundations?
Before we get into application techniques, let's discuss the different types of foundations available:
- BB Cream : BB creams are lightweight, hydrating formulas that give a natural look and often contain SPF. They are ideal for a quick, everyday look.
- Cream Foundation : Cream foundations have a creamy texture and offer more coverage than BB creams. They are perfect for dry skin types and provide a radiant finish.
- Liquid Foundation : Liquid foundations are versatile and can come in a variety of coverages, from sheer to full. They are suitable for almost every skin type and can be easily built up.
- Powder Foundation : Powder foundations are perfect for a matte finish and are ideal for oily skin types. They help absorb oil and can also be used for touch-ups throughout the day.
How to apply BB Cream?
BB cream is a great option for a natural look. Use your fingers or a damp makeup sponge to apply the BB cream evenly over your face.
Start in the center of your face and work your way out. For an extra fresh look, apply a light layer and then add a second layer where you need more coverage.
How to apply Cream Foundation?
Cream foundation is ideal for a radiant finish. Use a foundation brush or a make-up sponge to apply the cream foundation.
Start with a small amount and gradually build up coverage. Apply the foundation with the sponge using a tapping motion for a natural look and make sure to blend the edges for a seamless finish.
How to apply Liquid Foundation?
Liquid foundation is one of the most popular options and can be applied in different ways. Use a foundation brush, a makeup sponge or your fingers (but preferably a sponge ;) ), depending on your preference.
Start with a pump of foundation and apply it to your face. Work from the center outwards and make sure to blend it well. For a light finish, you can use a damp makeup sponge to pat the foundation in.
How to apply Powder Foundation?
Powder foundation is perfect for a matte look. Use a large, fluffy brush to apply the powder.
Start in the center of your face and work outward. For extra coverage, use a smaller brush on specific areas, such as the T-zone. Make sure to blend the powder well so you get an even finish without any visible powder.
Tips for a perfect foundation application
- Always start with a well-cleansed and hydrated skin. This helps the foundation to apply better and gives a radiant finish.
- Use a primer that suits your skin type to extend the life of your foundation.
- Always test the foundation color on your neck to find the right match.
- For a natural look, apply the foundation in layers and gradually build up coverage.
