Key Points for Creating a Flawless Base Makeup
1. Choose a Deep-Toned Foundation
Select a foundation with high adhesion and excellent moisturizing effects in a darker shade. It provides good correction, long-lasting makeup, and contouring functions.
2. Concealer Application Before Foundation
In areas with spots or pigmentation, apply a thin layer of concealer first, then apply the foundation. Finally, reapply concealer on any blemishes for an additional cover.
3. Hand Temperature Helps Blend Makeup
Complete the concealer and foundation steps using your hands; the warmth of your hands allows each layer to blend fully, making the overall makeup effect more natural and seamless.
4. Highlight the Central Facial Area
Apply highlighter under the eyes and on the central part of the face to create contrast with deeper skin tones, enhancing facial contours and three-dimensionality, making the entire face appear more lively.
How to Create a "Flawless and Good Complexion" Base Makeup
1. Conceal Before Applying Foundation
The "reverse" method of concealing before applying foundation can enhance and prolong the concealing effect! For darker spots and imperfections, use a small amount of concealer for modification first.
2. Choose a Darker Foundation
Select a foundation one to two shades darker than your natural skin tone. (When purchasing, apply the foundation on the back of your hand, raise it, and compare it with your face color to ensure you've chosen the right foundation shade.)
3. Use Foundation Again for Concealing
On spots and other imperfections, dot an adequate amount of foundation (similar to the quantity used when applying lotion), then press and spread the foundation with your palm to enhance the concealing effect.
4. "Contouring" Makeup Method
Apply the foundation from the outer edges of your face inward. Since a darker foundation is being used, this application technique creates a natural transition from dark to light, enhancing facial contours and achieving a face-shaping effect.
5. Highlight the Central Area
For the T-zone and the area below the eyes, mix a small amount of lotion with the foundation and apply a thin layer to make the skin look fresher and more hydrated. (Use the remaining foundation on your palm mixed with a little lotion.)
6. Set Makeup with Loose Powder
Dab loose powder with a puff and lightly press it onto your face to set the makeup. If you choose matte loose powder, the effect will be more natural and translucent; while pearlized loose powder will enhance your complexion and skin texture.
7. Add Highlight for a Radiant Finish
Finally, add highlighter to the T-zone and the area below the eyes on the central part of the face to make the makeup look more radiant and vibrant.
