Before you Start

1. Always apply makeup to clean skin (follow the routine appropriate for your skin type).

2. Make sure you have all the appropriate makeup tools and products you need.

3. Apply makeup in a well-lighted area.

4. Use a magnifying mirror to check your blending and overall smoothness.

Step 1: Foundation

Select a foundation for your skin type that matches your underlying skin tone exactly. Using the flat, smooth surface of a round, nonporous synthetic sponge, pour some foundation onto the sponge, then transfer the foundation in dots and dabs all over the face and the eyelids. You can also use your fingers to transfer the foundation in dots from the bottle to the face. Use your sponge to blend the foundation down and out over the face. Use the edge of the sponge without foundation (or turn the sponge over to the clean side) to dab or buff away any excess product. Do not apply foundation on the neck or under the chin. Your sponge is an exceptional blending tool that can be utilized throughout the makeup application process. Read the entire article.
