How to Get a Flawless Face
- 1). Pick out a suitable foundation color. Be selective when it comes to purchasing foundation and explore shade options. Try every color on both your face and your neck to see which one makes your skin tone look the best. If you cannot try on every foundation, at least place the bottle next to your complexion to compare. If you already have naturally radiant skin, use a lightweight tinted moisturizer, instead. Foundations that match your face in the winter months may not look as natural in the summer, due to weather causing skin tone changes. Keep a couple of foundation options on hand for this reason.
- 2). Use a primer. To get your face ready for foundation, primer can be a very effective tool. If you want to attain a flawless and porcelain look, primer can help smooth out and tone your complexion. It also can help your makeup stay on for a longer period of time.
- 3). Wear concealer. Focus on aspects of your skin that are less-than-ideal, such as blackheads, zits, fine lines, eye puffiness and crow's feet. Do this after apply your initial foundation.
- 4). Distance your moisturizing and makeup application. To keep your skin looking dewy, fresh and healthy, regular hydration with a moisturizer is a must. However, it is important to understand how long to wait before applying foundation. To avoid getting an uneven and greasy appearance, allow moisturizer to soak into your skin for roughly 10 to 15 minutes before applying foundation.
- 5). Fight oiliness. One way to keep your makeup looking tight and flawless is to reduce extra oil. Loose powder can be beneficial for this specific task. Not only does loose powder eliminate any extra oil, it also encourages foundation to "set" and stay on longer.
