After applying toner → essence, or lotion, apply primer or foundation using a clean sponge to gently pat it in. The sponge absorbs excess oil, preventing foundation from fading and creating a more flawless finish.
Unexpected Uses for Loose Powder
Loose powder with pearlescent shimmer can double as a highlighter and contouring product.Dust it on areas you wish to appear more defined, such as the highest points of your cheekbones and under your jawline, to create a more sculpted facial contour.
However, be cautious with metallic shades or pearls with strong iridescence, as their intense shimmer may appear unnatural when used for highlighting and contouring.For highlighting and contouring, choose products with the finest pearl particles possible.
Professional Foundation Application Techniques
When applying foundation, pay extra attention to the area under the eyes and the center of the cheeks. Carefully blending concealer with foundation in these zones enhances the overall complexion.
The application order is: (1) cheeks, (2) mouth area, (3) nose area, (4) forehead, (5) eye area. Use the minimum amount of foundation, adding more gradually only if needed. Prioritize thorough coverage on cheeks (step 1) and light application around eyes (step 5) for a natural finish.
