How To Blend Foundation Like a Pro

Knowing how to blend foundation makeup is the most important step in applying makeup to your face. Foundation makeup serves as a base, and proper blending is necessary for natural-looking coverage. Your fingertips can serve as the best tool to correctly apply foundation makeup.

 

Instructions

1. • 1

     Use your fingertips to gently smooth on foundation under the eyes.

   • 2

     Apply foundation to your forehead by making side-to-side strokes then blend up and down to fully cover your forehead.

      

   • 3

     Dot each cheek with foundation then blend out to the hairline. Sweep your fingertips in toward the nose and then blend downward.

   • 4

     Put a small amount of foundation on your nose and blend up and down then over the sides of your nose.

   • 5

     Make small side-to-side strokes to blend foundation on your chin then move up and down.

   • 6

     Smooth your fingertips along each area of your face and spread your foundation makeup evenly to provide a level, natural surface for your powder.

Tips & Warnings

• Shake your liquid foundation very well before application and use small amounts of foundation on your fingertips to apply.

• Apply foundation to your eyelids to hide discoloration.

• Focus on the center of your face and use less foundation and powder around the edge of your face and hairline.

• Do not use concealer under your eyes. Apply foundation under your eyes for a more natural look.

• Avoid sponges as they absorb more foundation than necessary. Your fingers are the best blending tool you own.
