Mistakes in foundation application
Never seem to get this integral part of makeup right? Read on to be a pro
Most women continue applying foundation with a heavy hand and are blissfully unaware of the faux pas they are committing. Read our list to make sure you aren’t committing any of these mistakes and how to avoid them while applying foundation:
Powder foundation is a no-no: Choosing powder foundation over a liquid formula is one of the silliest mistakes. Not only does it dry out your skin but it also looks cakey. Foundation should become one with your skin. Powder foundation does not look natural and it also has a tendency to crease while settling into wrinkles and fine lines. Enough reasons to stay away from there.
Testing foundation: Most sales assistants will insist you try a swatch on the inside of your wrists but it makes sense to try foundation on your jaw line, under your eyes and on or around your nose. This eliminates any chance of confusion over the right shade. The perfect foundation should seamlessly blend into your skin. When in doubt about which shade suits you best, always go with the darker one.
Brushes over sponge and finger: You might get heavy-handed while using their fingers to apply foundation. Also, it is can result in breakouts if forget to wash your hands. Sponges absorb most of the foundation thereby wasting expensive product. The best bet is to use foundation for a clean, smooth application.
