2. Choosing The Right Foundation

Before you choose the right colour of your foundation, it is imperative to understand the perfect consistency as per your preference. Liquid foundations come in all desirable coverages and powder foundations help achieve gorgeous matte finish. So, opt for a foundation that suits your skin type and matches your skin tone.

3. Primer Is A Must

Adding a primer before any other makeup product is super important to make sure that you are creating an even texture on the skin for the makeup to remain fresh for longer hours. Understand your skin type and its needs to pick the best primer for you  

4. Conceal Those Blemishes

If you have dark under eyes, blemishes or any spots, use a colour corrector and concealer accordingly. Blend it all out before you apply your foundation . 

5. Apply The Foundation Layer

Foundation tends to even out your skin tone. Make sure to use the right amount of foundation to get that flawless base. If you are looking for higher coverage of your existing foundation, then use a damp beauty sponge and for a lighter base, simply blend it out using your fingers.

6. Set It With A Setting Powder

Lock your makeup base using makeup or translucent powder. It is a clear powder that helps keep the makeup layers in place. For this step, apply a thin layer of the powder and use a makeup brush to spread it and blend it evenly.
