Makeup is mostly applied for it’s tricks and twists to cover here and there, to micmic perfect nose and full pouts, which if you ask me there is nothing wrong with it – it’s the power of makeup. But nowadays, makeup has grown to let us know less is more, the ‘makeup no makeup’ look is a look that can never go away, which is why today’s article is very important. We want to learn how to wear our foundation – (which is one of the base routine of any makeup look) naturally. The question is how can we apply our favourite foundation to look like skin without looking like we have makeup on.

Focus On The Centre Of Your Face

One drop on a wet sponge is enough, remember we still have the contour, bronzer and concealer to apply and they serve as a good coverage too. Apply by patting to the sides of the nose, under the eyes, top of the cheeks etc. Then grab you blending brush or a fresh side of your wet sponge to blend what you’ve already applied, this will help not to pack more layer on hence natural finish.

After this, then go ahead and apply your foundation to the barest minimal, if using a liquid foundation, half the pump/pea size should do the face, if using a powder dust lightly because if you weigh down your pores it might be difficult to get the vibrancy back.
