1. Primer and foundation go hand-in-hand
Your foundation needs some base to stick on. Invest in a good primer that suits your skin type and it will make your foundation stay put all day long. It will also make the blending easier.
2. Mix essentials oils with your foundation
If you have extremely dry skin, you will end up seeing your foundation cracking. To avoid this, mix a couple of drops of your favourite facial oil in your foundation. It will not only give you that glow but also will help hydrate your skin.
3. Warm up your foundation
If you are aiming for a natural finish, we suggest that you warm up your foundation to keep it looking very natural. Pump some product out on your hand and mix it well with your brush to warm it up slightly. This hack is great for people who don’t like too much coverage and prefer sheer to medium coverage.
4. Cover the centre
Most coverage is generally required in the centre of your face and this takes away the fuzz on the side of your face and on your forehead. It also gives the illusion of making your face look slimmer by drawing all attention to the features in the middle by narrowing things down. Now, that's smart, right?
5. Go with downward strokes
Blend your foundation in downward strokes to prevent your facial hair from sticking up awkwardly and looking more noticeable. This will also stop your foundation from filling up your pores.
6. Conceal it up
Use lesser foundation and more concealer on the pigmented areas of your face for a flawless finish. Simple and easy.
