How to properly apply foundation on your face - step by step photos

Step 1: Cleanse and Moisturize

Photos before and after applying the tone

We prepare the skin for cosmetics - wash with water at room temperature and traditional means by skin type. Apply a light moisturizer.

Step 2: correct imperfections with a makeup base

We use the base

She's a primer. It is these products that we pay insufficient attention to, but primers even out the texture of the face, fill in imperfections and roughness, and extend the life of makeup.

Foundations can be reflective - ideal for an evening out and literally make your face glow; silicone - will hide small wrinkles and pores on the face, making it even and smooth; mineral - thanks to the greenish (or other) tint, they will remove redness.

We wait until the base is completely absorbed.

Step 3: Apply foundation using a brush

Let's move on to foundation

In order not to get the effect of a mask, use a brush to make dots of cream in the center of the forehead, on the nose, cheeks, cheekbones and chin, without touching the lower eyelids.

Step 4: Shading

Shade thoroughly

We start from the center of the face and evenly distribute the tone from the nose to the hair and neck. You can apply foundation correctly using your hands, a brush and a sponge. Regardless of the method chosen, use the dotted line technique - with light progressive movements, as if driving the product into the skin, without stretching or rubbing it.

Pay special attention to the distribution of tone around the face at the hairline - no pronounced lines or shades of transition should be visible.

Step 5: Apply Concealer

Removing imperfections with concealer

If necessary, we hide minor imperfections using a corrector. Masking acne dark spots and circles under the eyes. Make sure the product absorbs well to avoid spots and spots.

Tip: You can hide facial imperfections with concealer even before applying foundation.

Step 6: consolidate the result

Add a little powder at the final stage

Lastly, allow yourself a little translucent matte powder. Powder is needed to reduce greasy shine, smooth out unevenness and mattify the face. Before applying it, let the foundation dry thoroughly for 10-15 minutes.

How to apply powder correctly: move from the middle of the face to the hairline. Using a long-bristled brush or a cone-shaped sponge, go over the T-zone twice - this is where the greatest number sebaceous glands. Then move to the cheekbones and sides, go below the chin and lightly powder the neck.

To the owners oily skin You shouldn’t overuse powder

Those with excessively oily skin should be especially careful when using powder and foundation - to avoid clogging pores in the hot summer, it is better to use light BB creams. To prevent your face from looking like creme brulee, blot it with a mattifying napkin and remove excess makeup. And don’t forget to pause between applying products to allow them time to dry.

What is the correct way to apply foundation on your face?

Choosing quality brushes and beauty blenders

There are several ways to do this:

1. Brush
2. Sponge
3. Beauty blender

An ideal make-up is obtained by combining several types: it is better to apply the tone with your fingers to a small area of ​​the face, after washing your hands. With a brush, work in small circular movements, as if polishing the skin. And for greater coverage, as well as shading near the hairline, it is convenient to use a sponge or beauty blender (girls, don’t forget to clean your tools regularly and don’t spread infection across your face).

Choose brushes based on the end result

Brush

Its type depends on the final task:

1. Flat with tapered ends - good for full coverage and does what you used to do with your fingers
2. A spatula brush will blend any creamy liquid product and paint over imperfections
3. Kabuki brush is ideal for working with dense and crumbly textures and applying powder
4. A brush with a sponge is the same as a sponge, but the handle makes it especially convenient; Suitable for full foundation application, but not for spot correction

Beauty blenders for home use

Beauty blender

The last one, if you haven’t heard, is absolute know-how for shading foundation. The creator of the gadget, makeup artist Rea En Silvoy, assures that now you won’t have to dance around the mirror with a tambourine in the fight for perfect coverage- just run a fragrance- and latex-free beauty blender over your face and create an even color, changing only the degree of pressure.

Magic beauty blenders come in three types:

1. Pink - for home use (original)
2. Black - for professional (pro)
3. White - for fluids and BB creams (pure)

Before use, the gadget is moistened with water, which makes it double its size. Then it is applied to foundation and blends onto the face. The more you squeeze the blender out of the water, the thicker the coating will be.

You can also use traditional sponges

Sponge

The good old sponge works the same way: dip the sponge in the cream applied to the back side hands, and begin to cover the face from the center to the hairline until the result is satisfactory. Finish shading with a brush.

The easiest way is to apply the products with your hands.

Fingers

And finally, how to properly apply foundation on your face with your hands. It would seem, what could be more natural? Fingers are still the ideal tool for light BB creams, but with foundations, especially if you have oily skin, it is better not to experiment often - this way you will make it extra oily and transfer natural oils from your hands to your face. This causes acne, clogged pores and... healthy looking, about which we at Life Reactor have already written dozens of articles.

However, if you are just starting to experiment with makeup, you can try applying the product with your fingers:

1. Use your index finger to distribute the base
2. Shade with index, middle and ring fingers
3. Apply cream around the nose and under the eyes ring finger tapping movements

The difference between applying cream with brushes and fingers is obvious

How to choose the right shade of foundation?

Actually, color is the basis correct application foundation. Therefore, we go to choose it with a face thoroughly cleansed of makeup. We test the product in natural light and see how it adapts to the skin - this will take about twenty minutes. Ideally, you should apply the tester and go shopping, and then return to buy foundation.

It is important to choose a foundation the right color

If not one of the shades suits 100%, purchase two close ones and achieve natural technology blending, as professional makeup artists do.

Don't forget about simple rules:

1. Pink skin - loves beige tones
2. With yellowness - beige-pink
3. Dark - dark beige/beige-apricot

Choosing a foundation based on your skin type

Your face should always look natural and not show off how many hours you've spent on makeup, so give preference to colors in natural shades.

If the tone does not match perfectly, buy two similar colors and mix

It is also worth choosing a foundation taking into account the type of epidermis:

1. For oily skin, it should not be too thick; look for vitamins A, B, zinc and sulfur in the composition - they reduce the amount of sebum secreted
2. For dry skin, you will need moisturizing components - coconut oil, avocado oil, grape seed oil, hyaluronic acid, aloe vera
3. As part of the funds for mature skin collagen, coenzyme Q10, vitamins A, B, C must be present
4. Liquid light foundation is suitable for young people

By using different shades foundation can correct the oval of the face

How to correct your face shape using foundation?

1. Long face - apply a darker shade to the forehead and chin, highlight the cheekbones with blush.
2. Diamond-shaped - reduce cheekbones using a darker foundation. Apply light highlights with a highlighter on the forehead and chin.
3. Triangular - highlight the forehead and cheeks with darker ones. We put light highlights on the chin.
4. Rectangular - apply a symmetrical contour on the right/left, on the forehead/chin. We highlight the center of the forehead, chin and area under the eyes. We also do the same with square face, apply blush on the cheekbones in oval lines.
5. We lengthen a round face by reducing the cheeks. We hide the protruding parts with tone, highlight the forehead and chin.

In all cases, do not forget to shade the products well so that the transition border is barely perceptible.

More subtleties on how to properly apply foundation on your face with step by step guide, you will find in this video tutorial:

An even complexion is the main key to the success of any makeup. Even perfectly drawn arrows, neatly outlined scarlet lips or a stunning smokey eye makeup with filigree shading will lose greatly against the background of an uneven complexion.

What is foundation used for?

It is important to remember that foundation most often is not able to camouflage absolutely all skin imperfections. It will not necessarily cover dark circles under the eyes and will not “erase” all pimples.

The main task of foundation is to even out the complexion and create a monochromatic “canvas” for subsequent makeup. A light foundation will probably cover only 30 percent of unevenness and imperfections, a dense one - from 70 to 90. Therefore, after applying the foundation, if necessary, correct problem areas with a concealer or corrector. If there are no special problems with the skin, then it is possible that one foundation will be enough.

There are a number of indicators by which you can determine that the foundation has been applied correctly.

• Facial skin looks monochromatic.
• The complexion and neck color are the same, that is, there is no mask effect. To achieve this, test the foundation on the skin in the area of ​​the lower edge of the lower jaw - this way you will see the color matches the tone of the neck and the tone of the face. At obvious difference choose a foundation that best matches the tone of your neck. In summer, if you wear open clothes, also check the tone on the collarbones.
• The foundation does not emphasize skin texture, flaking, dryness, pores and does not add an oily sheen. To do this, it is important to choose a shade that suits your skin and prepare your skin well - we will talk about this in detail below.

Preparing the face for applying foundation

Cleansing

Before applying foundation, be sure to cleanse your skin with toner. This will provide a more even coverage and reduce the risk of blemishes, since there will be no contaminants between the skin and foundation that can cause inflammation.

• Avoid using toner that contains alcohol before makeup. The skin may react to this component with redness or irritation, and the foundation will apply worse. Check the toner label to make sure ALCOHOL is not listed as an ingredient.

Do not use micellar water before makeup: micelles absorb not only dirt and oil, but also makeup particles, which can also lead to uneven coverage.

Hydration

To provide extra care to your skin and prepare it for foundation, spread a light moisturizer, serum, or oil over your skin before applying makeup.

• It is important to remember that oily skin needs hydration no less than dry skin. If such skin is properly moisturized, sebum production will be reduced and the overall condition of the skin will improve. Wait a little before applying foundation. It is important that the moisturizer is absorbed.

Using Primers

This step is not necessary, but can help prepare the skin for makeup if there are any nuances.

• Mattifying primer. Prevents the appearance of unwanted shine. This product does not need to be applied to the entire face, just go through those areas that are prone to an oily glow.
• Blur primer. Helps fill pores, hide wrinkles and make the skin texture smoother, facilitating the subsequent blending of foundation.
• Radiant primer. “Illuminates” the face from the inside and makes it visually rested and well-groomed. It is applied to the entire face or only to areas that are usually highlighted with highlighter: on the upper parts of the cheekbones, the bridge of the nose, the tick above upper lip, dimple under the bottom, center of the forehead. Avoid areas that are already prone to shine.
• Moisturizing primer. Can replace moisturizer. Hides flaking and fills the skin with moisture so that the tone lasts better throughout the day, does not crease or fade.
• Color primer. Redness is neutralized by a green primer. Tired, earthy-toned skin will be illuminated by a primer with a lilac undertone;

What is the best way to apply foundation?

Each application method is good in its own way. Try different ones to find the one that suits you personally, and we will tell you about their features.

Sponge

Applying foundation allows you to achieve a thin and even coverage with perfect shading. By layering your foundation in this way, you can get a denser coverage for an evening look.

Even a beginner can handle applying foundation with a sponge; the risk of making a mistake is minimal. The result is a perfectly smooth coating.

The disadvantage of this method of application is the greater consumption of foundation compared to other options.

Wet the sponge and squeeze out excess water. Due to the small amount of absorbed moisture, the sponge will not take up too much foundation, and its surface will be as soft as possible. It's comfortable on the face and perfect for easy blending.

First, put the foundation on your hand and spread it over your face in dots. This will help you not to overdo it with the amount of cream on your face and distribute it evenly.

Use a sponge to spread the foundation over your face using patting movements. Move from the center of the face to its periphery, avoid getting it on the eyebrows and hairline - removing the foundation from the hair will be problematic.

With your fingers

The warmth of your hands warms up the foundation, making it more flexible and malleable for blending. This method is good for its cost-effectiveness. But it will take practice - applying foundation beautifully with your fingers is a little more difficult than with a brush, so follow our instructions:

Apply the required amount of foundation onto your hand.

Spread the cream over your face in dots - literally a couple of drops on each area (cheeks, nose, center of the forehead, chin).

Do not smear the foundation - this will only emphasize the texture of the skin. Instead, use patting movements of your fingers to go over the entire face from the center to the edges.

Work through every centimeter of skin so that there are no untouched areas or unshaded borders. Together with makeup, you will get a wonderful facial massage that will improve blood circulation and invigorate the skin.

Brushes

Applying foundation with a brush allows you to act as carefully as possible. In addition, this is the most convenient method in everyday life compared to the previous two - your hands remain clean and you don’t have to wash the cream out of the sponge for a long time (the brush is much easier to clean).

To apply foundation with a brush, follow these rules:

• Apply foundation onto your hand until it warms up a little and becomes more pliable. Then use a brush.
• Do not apply a large amount of cream at once, add it gradually.

• Use round brushes to make circular movements. Flat - linear.
• Do not put pressure on the brush, do not squeeze it too hard, hold it calmly in your hand - this will allow you to apply the foundation accurately and accurately.

How to properly apply foundation to faces of different shapes?

With the help of foundation you can not only even out your complexion, but also make light-shadow correction. This is a well-known technique that is often used by celebrity makeup artists. You will need two shades of tone - slightly lighter colors your skin and a little darker. The difference may be 1-2 tones.

Apply light foundation to the entire central part of the face.

Place the darker shade in drops around the periphery of the face and under the cheekbones.

Blend with a brush, erasing the boundaries with the already applied light tone.

Such an easy way to contour suitable for girls with any face shape. You can see the application pattern depending on the specific face shape in our gallery:

Applying foundation to different skin types

Oily skin

Oily skin is characterized by unwanted shine throughout the face, enlarged pores and frequent inflammation (acne, comedones).

• Before applying foundation, it is important to thoroughly cleanse the skin (remembering to complete this stage with a toner; it restores the pH balance of the skin). Then, if necessary, apply a caring serum or cream. To hide enlarged pores, use a leveling foundation - the main thing is that it does not contain oils.
• For oily skin, the ideal foundation is mattifying. It will control unwanted shine throughout the day. Do not try to cover up skin imperfections by layering foundation; use special correctors of different shades and apply them locally to problem areas. This way you will create the most natural coverage.
• Set the tone with transparent or mattifying powder, avoid products with reflective particles.

Dry skin

The main problem when applying foundation to dry skin is flaking.

How to use foundation correctly?

It should always be in your makeup bag, even if your face without makeup can easily be placed on the cover of some glossy magazine. women's magazine. Due to violations menstrual cycle even a pimple can pop up on a perfect face, and deadline-related insomnia usually makes girls happy dull color face and peeling. Only a high-quality product can cope with all these imperfections. How to use foundation to always look perfect?

Regular use of tone by cosmetologists is not recommended. Mineral oils and petroleum products that

They are included in mass and middle market creams because they are cheap, clog pores and, with prolonged use, cause the appearance of acne and comedones. They are difficult to wash out of the skin, especially ultra-resistant compounds. Due to the disruption of oxygen supply upper layers epidermis, appear early wrinkles And violated work of the sebaceous glands. Conclusion: saving on the purchase of foundation is highly undesirable.

To mix Negative consequences Keep constant use of foundation to a minimum; use an exfoliant regularly. You can “pull out” the remaining cream and dirt from the pores only by refreshing the skin using a scrub with large polymer particles or enzyme peeling. Once or twice a week, cleanse your face with a cleansing gel, then apply a small amount of exfoliant. Massage your skin with your fingertips for 2-3 minutes, then rinse off the mixture with plenty of water and pat your face dry with a terry towel.

If you have enlarged pores that are especially prone to clogging, pay attention to the packaging of the cream when purchasing it in the store. It should indicate that the product does not contain comedogenic ingredients. This means that the cream has a light and non-greasy texture that does not provoke the appearance of “blackheads” on the nose, forehead and chin. Carry with you thermal water and regularly spray your face with it - this will additionally moisturize and soothe the skin.

The tone will not penetrate the epidermis if you use a special makeup base. This is a translucent foundation that has matting and leveling properties. It lays on the skin in a thin layer and prevents the absorption of the foundation. Besides, she much extends the life of your makeup, which is a big plus. If your face often looks dull and colorless, purchase a make-up base with shining particles - the so-called “highlighter”.

However, using foundation also has some advantages. Residents of megacities, applying a toner to their skin, protect it from dust, the harmful effects of exhaust gases, and the hot air of offices equipped with heating systems. Creams with SPF factors do not “pass” ultraviolet radiation, which is the cause premature aging. Antibacterial toners for oily skin treat inflammation and mattify, so you don't have to use mattifying wipes and powder every hour.

Focus on your skin type
Most skin problems arise due to improper selection of skin care and decorative cosmetics. When choosing a cream for dry skin, give preference to moisturizing and nourishing options. The product should contain Shea butter, vitamin E, proteins and lactic acids. Such a cream is usually unusually liquid, since small wrinkles form early on dry skin, and the thick composition “flows” into them and makes them more noticeable.

Foundation for combination and oily skin it is usually available in the form of a fluid, spray or gel. Such textures allow you to exclude from the composition fixed oils, which are completely useless with increased activity of the sebaceous glands. Cosmetics for oily skin should have anti-inflammatory properties to dry out pimples, pustules and minor inflammations. Typically, their packaging indicates that the cream contains tea tree oil or witch hazel extract.

Stick pencils and thick creams intended for normal type. Since this epidermis does not have any special problems, you can use foundation different types and consistencies. If you have this type of skin, but you usually don’t use foundation, buy cream powder. It is practically harmless and easy to apply.

Choose the most suitable shade of cream
It is correct to use a tone that completely matches the color of your face. However, to select perfect color, you will have to try a lot of remedies. To avoid being the subject of ridicule because of the noticeable “border” on your neck, go to the store for tone in the first half of the day. The fact is that the tinting agent can look completely different in daylight and artificial light.

Apply a little shade from the tester with a cotton pad to the bottom of your cheek and look in the mirror. Why not on the back of the hand, as sales consultants usually do? Because you will “wear” the cream on your face, and not on your hand, where the color of the skin can differ significantly. A cream that seems to blend into the face, but has a slightly yellowish tint in the light of store lamps, is most preferable. Be careful: it should be a slight yellowish tone, not an orange tone. To make sure you made the right choice, just go outside.

If you still made a mistake with the color of the foundation and chose too dark version, buy a tone from the same brand, but two shades lighter. Before applying to your face, simply mix two peas of different colors on your palm or a special palette. The pigment can also be “softened” by diluting the foundation with regular day cream.

Foam sponge
This is the easiest way to apply foundation to your face. Usually the sponge is included in the original packaging along with the tube so that you always have it at hand. Using this piece of foam, foundation is evenly distributed over the face without special effort– simply rubbing it over the skin like a puff. However, regular use of a cosmetic sponge contributes to the accumulation of cream residues in it, which are the best “habitat” for pathogenic bacteria that cause dermatological problems. Therefore, the sponge must be washed with warm water and soap about once or twice a month.

Own fingers
This method of distributing foundation is suitable for beginners - it will help them learn how to blend cosmetics correctly. Apply a few drops of the product to your face, then use your fingertips to gently distribute the tone over massage lines, as if “driving” it into the skin.

Flat wide brush
It is used by professional artists when applying stage or catwalk makeup. The brush is used to ensure that the tone lays down in an even and thin layer and does not flow into the nasolabial folds or roll off. Required condition– after you finish your makeup, rinse off any remaining foundation from your brush with warm water and dry it. Not every cream can be applied with a brush; products with a thick structure are best put aside.

Squeeze out required amount tones from the bottle onto the palm. Use the tip of the brush to place “dots” on the forehead, nose, cheeks and chin. Turn the brush with the flat side intense Blend the cream over your face using movements. Rub the tone border on the neck with your fingers, then apply with a loose powder brush.

Cleanse your skin thoroughly before applying makeup
Be sure to wash your face before applying makeup. Cleansing your skin with a gel or foam cleanser gets rid of dead skin cells and sebum particles. After washing, wipe your face with toner. If you are lazy and skip at least one step, the cream will flow or lie unevenly. After all, for the make-up to be perfect, the skin must be properly prepared for the application of decorative cosmetics.

Naturalness is right
If the tone looks like a “mask” on your face, do not rush to criticize the cosmetics manufacturer. Most likely, you are simply applying too thick a layer of product during makeup. Some girls do this deliberately, trying to hide pimples or “blackheads” in this way, thereby only aggravating the skin condition. The epidermis, being under the thickness of the “plaster”, begins to “revolt”, increasing the production of sebum. To make your makeup look natural, mix the foundation with moisturizer in a 1:3 ratio and spread the mixture over your face.

Foundation is not intended to disguise large inflammations and bruises.
Foundation is not a magic wand: it cannot solve absolutely all problems. In order to “hide” dark circles under the eyes, burst blood vessels and subcutaneous pimples, use color correctors. They must be used before applying foundation to dull the bright pigment of the product. Dark circles“cover” under the lower eyelids with a green pencil, red spots from rosacea with purple, and cover ulcers and post-acne with a thin layer of green concealer. Blend with your fingers, apply foundation on top and powder.

Eliminate excess
If you overdid it and applied too much cream, the situation can be corrected. Blot your face wet wipe, then powder your skin loose powder. The compact one will not work, since it usually does not contain absorbent particles, because it is used only for correcting makeup during the day.

Use long-lasting and firming toning products only for “going out”
Foundations with a lifting effect and waterproof formulas are not suitable for daily use. A huge dose of caffeine and hydrolyzed animal collagen in their composition disrupt the natural metabolic processes in the skin. Over time, from such a “diet” the epidermis will begin to peel off and turn yellow. It is correct to use such creams maximum two to three times a month, no more.

How to choose the color of foundation?

To do this, it is better to use probes. Do a little test. Apply foundation to chin and cheeks. Wait about 10 minutes. You will see the result. If your complexion has become more natural, closer to natural color, then the shade is yours.

How to use foundation?

Apply the day cream first, let it absorb and blot off any excess with a tissue. Apply foundation using circular movements. Direction – from the bridge of the nose to the cheekbones. This way, excess cream will not be absorbed into wrinkles. Add the cream to your face in very small portions, lightly tapping with your fingertips.

To apply compact powder, you need a cosmetic sponge. Use it to gently rub the powder into the skin of the face without smearing it to the sides.

Helpful Tips:
1) Achieve a natural effect from foundation. You can experiment. For example, mix foundation with liquid day cream to get a more even shade.

2) Neutralize red spots on the skin with a green concealer pencil, and then apply compact powder.

3) In summer, you can use a foundation with a protective effect against sun rays.

4) Foundation does not apply well to dry, flaky skin. Therefore, preliminary preparation is necessary. First we apply fat cream, after a few minutes - light moisturizing. After this, you can even out the skin with foundation.

Instructions

Choose a foundation according to your skin type. Liquid foundation is suitable for oily skin. It is sold in a glass jar or bottle. This cream absorbs excess sebum. Therefore, the skin remains smooth and matte for a long time. Creams for oily skin include extracts of quince and licorice root. If the skin is inflamed, has many open pores and acne, use foundation compact powder. It covers the skin with a denser layer. The cream is distributed evenly over the skin without accumulating near open pores. As a result, the face takes on a healthy appearance. This powder contains antiseptic substances that promote acne healing. For dry and sensitive skin choose a regular water-based foundation with various vitamin supplements.

The complexion of the face is, of course, also important. Therefore, while in the store, ask the consultant for a sample of the product to apply to the back of your hand or nose. Choose cream in daylight. For light skin will fit light shades, and for dark - dark. A good foundation always adapts to the complexion, as if merging with it into one whole. Please note that the foundation should be invisible on the skin. For evenings, choose a product that is a shade darker than your natural complexion. If you apply the cream to your face, wait 10 minutes. In almost all cases, the foundation tends to darken a little.

Before applying foundation, wash your face with soap and various cleansers. After this, apply a very light moisturizer to your face. Let it absorb well into the skin. Walk over your face with paper napkin to remove any remaining cream. Apply the foundation to your face in a thin layer. Move strictly along the massage lines: this way you will not stretch your facial skin. In the area around the eyes, the cream should not be stretched over the skin, but rubbed in with your fingertips. Never apply cream from the periphery to the center of the face: this will make wrinkles and pores even more noticeable. To ensure that the paint is distributed evenly, use the cream in small portions.

Apply compact powder using a sponge or brush. Simply massage the cream gently into your skin. This method of application is recommended by professional makeup artists. With it you can achieve stunningly natural results. The best sponges for foundation creams made from natural rubber. They have a fine porous structure. A sponge with large pores absorbs too much cream, making it difficult to apply. Each time after use, rinse the sponge with warm water and dry it. This will prevent germs from appearing on it.

To prevent your makeup from looking artificial, mix equal amounts of foundation and day cream in your palm and apply to your face. This way you can create a very natural effect, because the skin will acquire a beautiful and even shine. If the foundation shade seems too dark for you, also practice mixing it with your regular face day cream in a one-to-one ratio.

To disguise red spots, there are special creams with a green tint. Apply a thin layer of this product and gently massage into the skin. Visually green color neutralizes red. After this cream, powder is applied to the required areas. Therefore, the redness seems to disappear. To disguise bags under the eyes, it is customary to use a yellow foundation. Because yellow neutralizes purple circles.
