1. Hide Your Pores with This Secret

The first step to getting a flawless foundation finish is to hide your pores with this secret. Your pores have a lot to do with how your foundation appears on your skin. All of us have pores and you can’t change the size of them. You can, however, hide them. Before applying your foundation, rinse your face with cold water or rub an ice cube over the areas of your face where your pores are the most visible. This’ll temporarily close them up to give your foundation a better appearance.

2. Drop the Matte Formula

Unless you have extremely oily skin, matte formula is not for you. Luminous foundation doesn’t have the flat appearance of matte foundation. This means that it’ll make your skin appear younger and help hide any imperfections in your skin. I’ve fallen in love with luminous foundations and will never go back to a matte formula. Luminous formulas are more forgiving than matte formulas.

3. Don’t Settle for the Wrong Shade

Sometimes it’s difficult to find a shade that works for you. Always look at your foundation in different lighting before you make your decision. The right foundation will not stand out on your skin. It should look like your skin, only better. It shouldn’t look like a mask or leave any visible lines to deal with. It’s also possible that you may have to try a few different brands before you find the shade that works best for you.

4. Add a Primer

Some women have better success with their foundation when they use a primer. If your foundation tends to fade away after a few hours, you could benefit from a primer. If you have some fine lines beginning to show up then a primer can help with those, too. Primer gives your foundation a better surface to adhere to as well as extending the wear of your foundation. You can see if it’s beneficial to you by wearing it under your foundation on one side of your face and evaluating the difference at the end of the day.

5. Less is Sometimes More

One common mistake that women make with foundation is wearing too much. You may not need a lot. The goal of foundation is to even out your skin tone and conceal imperfections. Start with a small amount and go from there. You can always add more if you need to.

6. Use a Brush

Using a brush to apply your foundation can change your whole outlook on foundation. It’s a completely different way of wearing it. The finish is smoother when you use a brush. Another reason is that it’s easier to blend. Don’t be surprised if people ask you what you’re doing differently with your makeup when you start using a foundation brush.

7. Change Foundation with the Seasons

One foundation may not work for you all year round. You may need to change shades with the seasons. Most of us have a bit more natural color to our skin during warm weather than during the long winter months. Test your foundation every few months to see if it’s still the right shade for you. You’ll probably go a shade or two darker in warm weather months.

These’re the tips you need to achieve a flawless foundation finish. Now it’s your turn. What have you found to be the best foundation for your skin?

Great ideas 😂😂❤️❤️

Which is the best foundation for summer

@Alicia Fannin: What are your views on spray on foundation?

I am not allowed to use many cosmetics as my sister tells me i too small for it but i use bb creams which doesnt give a perfect look so how should hide the pores using it

@M3g when I used spray on foundation it looked amazing but the next day I broke out

Great ideas 😂😂❤️❤️

I use a brush for foundation and a sponge blender similar to a beauty blender for my concealer and I also use the sponge for my loose powder. I never used a brush until just recently and it makes an amazing difference. I use face #7 brush from Merle Norman and it is AMAZING! It makes my skin look flawless AND it prevents me from using too much product. I love the brush!!!

Also like using Beauty Blender instead of a brush.
