How to Apply Liquid Foundation Make Up Like a Professional

script>

One of the most essential steps in your make up regime is applying liquid foundation. Please choose mineral liquid foundation as it is easy going for the skin and do not cause irritation. Not many people like to use liquid foundation because it is harder to apply but if you follow these guidelines, you will be an expert in no time. 

First of all, you need to identify the best color for your skin tone. If you have yellow undertone, you need to choose a yellow cast for your foundation. Always remember to test the color on your jaw line rather than your finger or wrist because they will have different color tone.

 Place a small dollop of liquid foundation on hand. Use a make up sponge to spread the foundation on your face and blend it before it dries. Make sure you use a liquid foundation sponge so that you do not waste the foundation too much while applying as sponge tend to absorb large amount of foundation. Remember to blend your jaw line and hair line too.

Always use a clean sponge every time or else you will be transferring bacteria from the sponge to your face. Some make up artist will teach you to use your fingers when applying foundation but I do not recommend it. The simple reason is your fingers contains lots of bacteria and if you are putting make up for others, they might not like it as it is not hygienic.

 Next, make sure you apply the foundation evenly on your face and it matches your skin tone. Once you are please with the results, you need to apply the foundation on your neck too. It is good practice to have single color tone for your neck and face. Finally, set the foundation for all day wear. If you have dry skin, set it with blotting tissues and use pressed powder for oily skin. Liquid foundation is a great make up item because it can hide your blemishes, scars and make skin pores looks even and smooth.
