Video Tutorial: How to Apply Foundation for a Flawless Finish

My dear reader Alvira recently suggested that I do a video tutorial on how I apply my foundation, and I thought, why not? So here it is! I was really vain and couldn't stand the thought of appearing in a video without makeup, so I wore a pair of false lashes. Forgive me for my vanity!
I used a lot of control colors in this video, so if you are not going for that perfect finish, you really can skip those steps and just go with foundation, concealer and loose powder =)
I really hope that you will find this tutorial helpful!

ENJOY!

12 Steps:


1. Moisturise your skin well following your daily skincare regime. Apply sunblock/ foundation primer (pardon the blemishes on my face!).


2. Using the spatula provided, take a small amount of the cream foundation.

3. Warm the foundation at the back of your hand by spreading the foundation this way.

4. Use your fingers to pick up a little of the product.

5. Dub the foundation onto your cheeks, nose and forehead. Spread the foundation over your entire face by gently tapping the foundation onto your skin.

6. Your skin should look glowy and the skin tone should be evened out and brighter. It should look natural as if you have not put on any foundation.

7. Use 2 different concealers. 1 should be 1 shade darker than your natural skin colour and the other just right for your skin colour.

8. Use the darker shade concealer to cover any blemish. Use a small amount and blend the concealer with the foundation using light tapping motions. This darker shade will help to cover the blemish.

9. Tap the lighter shade concealer over the blemish you have just covered. Remember to use light tapping motions. If you sweep the concealer over the blemish you will just rub away the initial darker concealer you have just used to cover it. This lighter shade will ensure that the darker shade concealer you have used is covered and will not look obvious that you have used a darker shade concealer to cover your blemish.

10. Your face should look flawless now!


11. Set your foundation using any loose powder. Pat a small amount of powder all over your face. Do not use too much powder or your face will look too powdery and lose its "nude" look. Pay special attention to the sides of your nose.


12. Voila! Perfect skin for perfect make up!
