Most common foundation application errors
Well to be honest: we’ve all felt the agony of our foundation not being as perfect as we would like it to be. But don’t worry, we’re here to make your life easier by teaching you about a few foundation mistakes. You could be doing and how you can fix them. Moisturize your face have long been a part of skincare routines.
Not preparing your skin
Applying foundation to your dry, dull face without first exfoliating and moisturising it? Then your foundation will undoubtedly seem crusty. Always exfoliate your skin twice a week to eliminate the dead skin cells layer from your face and to maintain your skin appearing fleshy and plumped. Apply moisturize your face after washing it to maintain it soft and smooth, and to allow your foundation to glide and spread more smoothly.
Forgetting to cleanse your skin
Applying foundation to dry, dull skin without first exfoliating and moisturising it? Then your foundation is sure to look crusty. Always exfoliate your skin twice a week to eliminate the dead skin cell layer from your face and to maintain your skin appearing fleshy and plumped. Apply moisturize your face after washing it to maintain it soft and silky and to allow your foundation to glide and spread more smoothly.
Excessive foundation use
Always keep in mind that a foundation can only accomplish so much. Don’t try to add a hundred layers of concealer with your foundation. If you want thicker coverage and a flawless finish, don’t apply more than three coats of foundation. Since anything more will make your face seem like a birthday cake, which no one wants.
Moisturize Your Face Using the incorrect tone
Always be aware of your undertone. Because most South Asians have a yellow undertone, using anything with a pink undertone would not provide the desired effects. It will intensify any pigmentation on your skin and give your face an overall grey tone. Always use foundation that is the precise colour of your skin, not too dark or too light. Switching any foundation shade on your neck area can help you find your ideal match. If you want to further highlight or contour any part of your face, concealers and contour palettes are the way to go. But choosing the wrong shade of foundation might ruin your entire look.
