• Advice

• Use a foundation with the same ingredients as the other products you'll be using; For example, use all cream products or all powder products, not both as this can cause a sticky consistency.
• If you are having trouble choosing your color tone, use a foundation that matches your neck skin tone. Neck skin tends to be a bit lighter than your face, and applying a foundation that matches your neck tone will ensure your face does not look darker after makeup.

Use a foundation that is slightly brighter than your skin tone. Contouring makeup is how you bring out certain spots of your face and blurring others at the same time. For an accent product, you'll need a cream that's two tones brighter than your foundation.

• Don't use a shade that is too light compared to the foundation, it will make your makeup look unnatural.
• You can use concealer or light-colored eyeshadow instead of foundation. Just make sure that all your products are cream or powder, and don't mix the two.

Choose a foundation that's a bit darker than your skin. Darker tones will be used to cover the parts of the face that you want to avoid being noticed by. You will create advantageous shadows that will make your cheekbones look sharper and your chin pointed.

• Do not use tones that are too dark for your normal skin tone, your makeup will not be natural.
• A slightly darker copper eyeshadow or dark powder / concealer can also be used as a substitute for foundation. Just remember to make sure all of your products are cream or powder, not both.

Use a good foundation brush. For your face to look different, a good foundation brush is very important. If the colors are not evenly spread and blend together, your makeup will look unnatural. You need a large, thick foundation brush, not a small brush. Use a brush made from natural bristles for the smoothest makeup.

• If you don't have a makeup brush, the best tool to replace is your finger. The warmth from the fingers will create a harmonious and smooth makeup. This is especially helpful if you are using a cream foundation.

Part 2 of 3: Creating Blocks for Faces

1. 

   
   
   Tie your hair neatly back. Makeup builds up the hairline above your forehead, across your temples, and down to the sides of your face. Tie your hair back so you can see what you're doing without getting in the way.

2. 

   Prepare for your face. When you block the face, start with the bare face. Remove all previous makeup, wash your face, and pat dry with a towel. Exfoliate if needed to remove dead skin, then apply moisturizer. Let the moisturizer soak into your skin for a few minutes before you start applying makeup.
   • Preparation is extremely important if you want smooth makeup. You don't want to have any trouble with facial contouring, if you do not prepare your makeup well, your makeup can get smudged.

3. 

   
   
   Use a foundation of your normal color tone. Use your finger or makeup brush to apply a light foundation over the entire face, including the top of the forehead and the lower part of the chin. Use a cream brush or your fingers to spread the foundation evenly down your chin and around your neck, so it won't cause a gap between your face and your neck.
   • You can also use concealer in this step too. Focus on under eye areas and blemishes.

4. 

   Use a light-toned foundation. Get a foundation that's a bit brighter than your skin tone. Use your finger or a clean foundation brush to apply foundation to spots on your face (between 1.2-2.5cm per point) where natural light shines. To help you find the spots where natural light hits your face, stand in a well-lit room with light coming down from above and look at the spots that it hits your face. Here are the points where you'll use a light foundation:
   • In the center of the forehead.
   • Along the top of the footline.
   • Straight along the bridge of the nose.
   • On the cheeks (to find them, smile).
   • The middle part (the part between the nose and the upper lip line).
   • In the middle of the chin.

5. 

   Use a dark-toned foundation. Use your finger or a clean foundation brush to spread dark foundation onto spots that are not exposed to natural light. To help you find those spots, stand in a well-lit room with light coming down from above and look into dark areas. Here are the points where you'll use a dark foundation:
   • Just below the hairline above the forehead.
   • Top right and left, near your hairline on the sides.
   • Along the left and right sides of the nose.
   • In the sockets of the cheeks (pull the cheeks inward for easier viewing).
   • Along the jawline, on both cheeks, from the ears to the tip of the chin.

6. 

   Evenly spread the ice cream. Using your finger or foundation brush to blend the cream smoothly and harmoniously will give you a natural makeup look. Pay attention when the canopy does not allow the colored blocks to be spread too much. Make sure the edges (the area between the light-toned foundation and the darker-shade foundation) are not clearly divided. advertisement

Part 3 of 3: Finishing Makeup

1. 

   Consider using a highlighter cream. If you want the highlights to stand out even more, add a bit of highlighting product to make your face stand out. The highlighting cream has a bit of emulsion, so it shines more bright than the normal foundation. Use creams to emphasize areas where you are using a light foundation.

2. 

   Consider using blush. If you feel your face looks pale, lifeless, apply some blush on your cheeks. Be sure to use a blush color to match the tones of other products you've used.

3. 

   Consider using powder coatings to fix the foundation. Powder is very useful when using a cream foundation. It helps the foundation last longer and looks smoother with makeup. Use a clean chalk brush to coat your entire face with powder.

4. 

   Use a little more powder if you go out at night. If you want your face to shine and look more sparkling, choose a matte powder powder and apply a thin layer over your face, focusing on the bright areas. Don't forget to apply a little on your neck and chest.

5. 

   Final eye and lip makeup. Make sure you have a perfect foundation before applying eye and lip makeup. Contouring gives a bold look, so you may want to opt for bold eye makeup or bold lips, but not both.

6.
