Foundation Makeup Tips
Keeping it simple and catered to you!!

Before we can even dig into foundation and achieve maximum results, please make sure you are taking care of your skin!!

I know many of us have a love-hate relationship with the idea of foundation. Think of it this way…..when an artist starts a painting, she starts with a blank canvas and then adds color to create her masterpiece. The same goes for the purpose of foundation……..hence the name, “foundation”.


With foundation I like to break things down into four categories:

    What's the best color for your skin tone?
    What foundation makeup is best for your skin type?
    Techniques on how to apply foundation makeup.
    What makeup brushes should we use?


    Hope you enjoy some of these foundation makeup tips!!!




    What's the best color for your skin tone?


    Just like everything else in nature, our skin color has many tones of color within itself. Beige, red, yellow, brown and olive…just to name a few. So how do you know what shade will fit you best?

    To cater to this specific question, we decided it would be easier to break it down to your specific skin tone.





    What foundation makeup is best for your skin type?


    There are so many different types of foundation to choose from. Do you go with cream, liquid, whipped, or powder? What about a simple tinted moisturizer?

    This doesn't need to be a challenge!!

    Makeup Application Tips - How to apply foundation makeup?


     Benefit Cosmetics LLC

    A very quick guideline in applying foundation makeup:

      * Start the application process down the middle of your face using circular motions, ending toward the outer part of your face.

      * Remember, don’t stop right at your chin, blend a little lower so your face matches your neck. This is crucial.


    We believe strongly in visuals. If you can see it being done, then you should be able to duplicate it "with practice of course". So enjoy all the videos that we will have posted (over the next couple of months) and develop your own makeup routine.



    What makeup brushes should we use?



    A cautionary tale: You can follow all the "how to apply" directions to the letter...you can buy all the top brands of cosmetics...but without the proper tools, you will get frustrated with putting on makeup. It just won't feel or seem right. Other top beauty sites will only echo what is being said here.
