But how the foundation works on your skin depends on your skin type, type of foundation used, and tools used to apply foundation. If you have got everything right, the foundation will lift your face and stay for long. But if not done right, it can crack up your skin and make you look patchy or discolored. So, apart from choosing the right foundation, it is important that you know how to apply foundation perfectly.<\/p>\n<p>In this post, we will cover:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Basic steps to follow before applying foundation<br \/>\n\u2022 How to apply foundation with a brush<br \/>\n\u2022 How to apply foundation with fingers<br \/>\n\u2022 How to apply foundation with a sponge or beauty blender<br \/>\n\u2022 Special cases: How to Apply Mousse, Serum and Stick Foundations<br \/>\n\u2022 Commonly asked questions about foundation application<\/p>\n<h2>Basic Steps to Follow Before Applying Foundation<\/h2>\n<p>1. <strong>Apply cleansing milk and toner on your face<\/strong>: Start by pouring cleansing milk on a cotton ball and pressing it over your face. Then, dab on some toner to ensure your pores don\u2019t get blocked when you start applying foundation.<\/p>\n<p>2. <strong>Use pore filler<\/strong>: If you happen to have large pores then it\u2019s best to apply some pore filler cream to prevent an acne breakout post makeup.<\/p>\n<p>3. <strong>Apply a primer<\/strong>: This is perhaps the most important step to ensure you apply foundation flawlessly. A primer helps in creating a barrier between your skin and foundation, offers a clean slate to start with and increases the stay of the foundation.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Apply Foundation with a Brush<\/h2>\n<p>Brushes are best suited for liquid, stick, cream and serum foundations.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-19918\" src=\"https:\/\/de927adv5b23k.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/15110150\/Foundation-brushes-512x288.png\" alt=\"foundation application brushes\" width=\"512\" height=\"288\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>1. Take out a small amount of foundation on a steel palette or the back of your hand instead of directly placing it on your face.<\/p>\n<p>2. Take a flat brush to spread the foundation across your forehead, bridge of your nose, cheeks, under eyes, above your lips, chin and neck.<\/p>\n<p>3. Using a foundation blender brush or stippling brush, blend the foundation uniformly across your face. Move the brush in clockwise or anti-clockwise motion (don\u2019t mix the two, stick to one type of movement).<\/p>\n<p>4. To set the foundation, apply anti-shine or translucent powder in the end.<\/p>\n<h4>Advantages of using a foundation brush:<\/h4>\n<p>a) As brushes come with different types of bristles and thickness, you get to choose the kind of finish you want. Thicker brushes with closely placed bristles will give you more coverage than brushes with lesser bristles.<\/p>\n<p>b) When getting someone else to apply makeup on you, brushes help in maintaining hygiene.<\/p>\n<h4>Disadvantages of using a foundation brush:<\/h4>\n<p>a) Brushes end up applying more product on the skin, making you spend more time in blending and grading foundation.<\/p>\n<p>b) Brushes need to be cleansed regularly to ensure germs don\u2019t start to develop.<\/p>\n<p>c) Foundation applied using brushes needs to be blended thoroughly so that no harsh lines are visible on the face.<\/p>\n<p>[Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/appstudio.co.in\/ucblog\/beauty\/types-of-make-up-brushes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Types of Makeup Brushes<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>How to Apply Foundation with Fingers<\/h2>\n<p>Fingers are best suited for liquid foundations.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-22476\" src=\"https:\/\/de927adv5b23k.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/shutterstock_712878742-512x341.jpg\" alt=\"applying foundation with fingers\" width=\"512\" height=\"341\" srcset=\"https:\/\/de927adv5b23k.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/31164213\/shutterstock_712878742-512x341.jpg 512w, https:\/\/de927adv5b23k.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/31164213\/shutterstock_712878742-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/de927adv5b23k.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/31164213\/shutterstock_712878742-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/de927adv5b23k.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/31164213\/shutterstock_712878742-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/de927adv5b23k.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/31164213\/shutterstock_712878742-900x600.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>1. As before, take out small amount of foundation onto a palette or the back of your hand.<\/p>\n<p>2. Dot the foundation on your face using you your fingers \u2013 two dots on forehead, one on nose, one on chin and a couple each on your cheeks.<\/p>\n<p>3. Blend the foundation on your face using your fingers in tapping or patting motion. Move your fingers in circular upward motion.<\/p>\n<p>4. Fingers usually offer a light coverage as the heat generated from them melts the foundation even before it touches the skin. For a greater coverage, you will have to apply more powder on your face.<\/p>\n<p><em>Pro tip: Don\u2019t move your fingers in downward direction as it can cause your skin to sag.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Advantages of using fingers to apply foundation:<\/h4>\n<p>a) Always available! You don\u2019t have to scout for brushes or sponges when in hurry, simply use your fingers for a quick application<\/p>\n<h4>Cons of using fingers to apply foundation:<\/h4>\n<p>a) Fingers are not a hygienic tool for applying foundation. They carry germs and can cause acne breakout on your face. Wash your hands properly or carry a sanitizer before starting out.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>How to Apply Foundation with a Sponge<\/h2>\n<p>Sponge or beauty blenders are egg-shaped and are best suited for cream and liquid foundations.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-19919\" src=\"https:\/\/de927adv5b23k.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/15110216\/beauty-blenders1-512x288.png\" alt=\"foundation application using sponge\" width=\"512\" height=\"288\" \/><br \/>\n1. Dampen the sponge in a stream of running water. Squeeze out the water and wrap it in a tissue paper or clean towel to remove excess water.<\/p>\n<p>2. Take some foundation on a palette or the back of your hand. Dip the pointed end of the sponge into the foundation and collect the product on the tip uniformly.<\/p>\n<p>3. Dab the foundation on forehead, chin, nose tip, cheeks and neck so as to cover your face with the product.<\/p>\n<p>4. Start pressing the larger, rounder portion of the sponge on your face to help spread and blend the foundation evenly.<\/p>\n<p>5. Once your foundation dries up (usually takes 2-3 minutes), apply anti-shine powder to lock it in.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Pro tip: If you don\u2019t want to use a sponge because of hygiene and over consumption of production, opt for silicon-based blenders. They don\u2019t absorb product and are easy to clean, making them ideal for blending.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Advantages of using sponges or beauty blenders to apply foundation:<\/h4>\n<p>a) They provide a natural effect to the foundation<\/p>\n<p>b) As sponges are dabbed and pressed, they ensure foundation doesn\u2019t float on your face but offers an even finish.<\/p>\n<h4>Cons of using sponges or beauty blenders to apply foundation:<\/h4>\n<p>a) They absorb foundation during application, leading to higher consumption of the product.<\/p>\n<p>b) They are easily stained, and you never know if they are 100% clean<\/p>\n<p>c) They need to be air dried before storing away<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>How to Apply Mousse, Serum and Stick Foundations<\/h2>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-22477\" src=\"https:\/\/de927adv5b23k.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/shutterstock_731577169-480x384.jpg\" alt=\"Mousse, Serum and Stick Foundations\" width=\"480\" height=\"384\" srcset=\"https:\/\/de927adv5b23k.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/31164452\/shutterstock_731577169-480x384.jpg 480w, https:\/\/de927adv5b23k.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/31164452\/shutterstock_731577169-150x120.jpg 150w, https:\/\/de927adv5b23k.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/31164452\/shutterstock_731577169-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/de927adv5b23k.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/31164452\/shutterstock_731577169-1000x800.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/de927adv5b23k.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/31164452\/shutterstock_731577169-900x720.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3>How to Apply Mousse Foundation<\/h3>\n<p>Mousse foundations are creamy foundations with powdery texture. They are very light weight and blend easily. They are best suited for oily skin. Given their texture, mousse foundations are best applied using a beauty blender. Take the foundation and dab it on your face. Then using a damp (but not wet) sponge, spread it out evenly across your face.<\/p>\n<h3>How to Apply Serum Foundation<\/h3>\n<p>Serum foundations are the lightest foundation in terms of consistency and coverage. They are very liquidy in texture and are applied the same way as liquid foundation. However, we recommend you apply serum foundation using a traditional flat foundation brush.<\/p>\n<h3>How to Apply Stick Foundation<\/h3>\n<p>Stick foundations are essentially cream foundations in cylindrical shape. You can directly apply it as strokes on your forehead, nose bridge, cheeks, chin and neck. Now using a stippling brush or a beauty blender, spread the foundation evenly across your face. Once done, let it dry for a couple of minutes and then apply some loose powder to lock it in.<\/p>\n<p>[Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/appstudio.co.in\/ucblog\/beauty\/common-foundation-mistakes-and-solutions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Common Foundation Mistakes To Avoid<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Commonly Asked Questions About Foundation Application<\/h2>\n<p><strong>1. When and how to use compact powder?<\/strong><br \/>\nCompact powders are meant for touch ups. If you are going to attend a long-duration event, say a wedding, and would need your makeup to stay put, then carry a compact powder with you. Anytime you feel your makeup is becoming runny or coming off, dab some compact powder. The powder will absorb the sweat or oil and let your makeup stay as is.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. What to apply before makeup?<\/strong><br \/>\nBefore applying makeup, it\u2019s important to cleanse your skin using cleansing milk. Dab some toner on your face and once it dries up, apply moisturizer. You must also apply primer on your face before staring with makeup. Also, depending on how large your pores are, we suggest you use a pore filler as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. How to apply powder foundation?<\/strong><br \/>\nFor powder foundations, it\u2019s important to have a layer of cream or liquid foundation first. It is never applied directly on the face as it can dry up your skin and make you look patchy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Can I just wear foundation?<\/strong><br \/>\nYes you can! While you are at it, apply some blush or bronzer to complete the look.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Do I need foundation?<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you have an even, blemish-free skin then you don\u2019t really need a foundation. Foundation covers skin discoloration, redness, acne patches and dark circles, so if you don&#8217;t have any of these, you can completely skip it and opt for a BB or CC cream.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. What can I use instead of foundation?<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you don\u2019t want to apply foundation, go for a BB or CC cream of the same skin color as yours. These will work just as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. Will foundation give me a dewy look?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe final look that a foundation gives you depends on the <a href=\"https:\/\/appstudio.co.in\/ucblog\/beauty\/types-of-makeup-foundation-how-to-choose-for-indian-skin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">type of makeup foundation<\/a> you have applied.
