- Moisturizer with SPF
- An application sponge
- Loose powder
- A professional makeup session
Step 1: Choose the right foundation and concealer
Choose a foundation and concealer that match your skin tone. An oil-free foundation is better for the skin.
A foundation that is too light will make your blemishes stand out. Make sure the concealer matches the foundation.
Step 2: Cleanse your skin
Cleanse your face before applying makeup. Use a facial toner to bring out dirt and makeup residue and to hydrate the skin.
Step 3: Moisturize your skin
Add a moisturizer to protect your skin from the sun and keep it healthy. Moisturizers also help foundation blend smoothly and keep it from drying up.
Step 4: Apply foundation
Apply the foundation, starting at the center of your face. Blend it in with a sponge, using a circular motion.
Always apply foundation before concealer. If you apply concealer first, putting on foundation will only wipe it off again.
Step 5: Apply concealer
Apply and rub in a tiny amount of concealer on the blemishes – add more if necessary – and blend thoroughly.
Step 6: Set the foundation
Apply a loose powder. This will set the foundation and cut down on shine.
Step 7: Have a professional makeup session
Use a professional makeup session to learn which colors and products are best for you and your skin tone. Visit any cosmetics counter; most stores will give you tips and a make-over for free.
In their pursuit of beauty, women in some ancient cultures used toxic chemicals, such as arsenic, lead, mercury, and leeches to make their faces paler.
