Maybe there\u2019s something wrong with the most essential element in your makeup \u2013 the foundation. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Foundation is designed to be your second skin: it should give you a flawless and youthful glow. Buying the wrong one and applying it incorrectly gives you an opposing effect that isn&#8217;t pretty. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you still can\u2019t get the hang of it, here are 7 common mistakes when buying and applying foundation and how to solve them. <\/span><br \/>\n<b>Mistake #1: Picking The Wrong Foundation For Your Skin Type<\/b><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For newbies, applying foundation can be a little tricky to pull off. But what makes it more challenging is finding the right foundation for you. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s not a \u201cone kind fits all\u201d product. That said, it\u2019s important to determine your skin type (dry, oily, combination, aging, and sensitive skin) and choose the right foundation that works for your needs. <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Dry skin:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Choose a sheer, hydrating foundation. Go for a silky liquid foundation to get that lovely natural glow while keeping your face moisturized. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Oily\/acne-prone skin:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0Go for a noncomedogenic and oil-absorbing formula. Opt for matte and oil-free variants for a shine-free look. Go for a medium to full coverage foundation.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Combination skin:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> You\u2019re lucky, for you can choose whether to be on the velvety side or on the matte side. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Aging skin:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Ditch heavy products and cakey powder foundation, which can settle into fine lines and wrinkles and exaggerate the signs of aging. Instead, opt for a light coverage using a hydrating and satin-finish liquid foundation.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Sensitive skin:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Stay away from heavy and overly fragranced products. Opt for products specially formulated for sensitive skin with gentler ingredients and lighter coverage, such as mineral-based formulas free of dyes, preservatives, and fragrances. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Mistake #2: Using The Wrong Shade <\/b><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choosing a foundation that\u2019s too light, and you\u2019ll look pale and sick; choosing a foundation that\u2019s too dark, and it\u2019ll look like a self-tanning blunder. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When buying foundation, don\u2019t be shy to test the colors on your cheeks, nose, and jawline \u2013 not on your wrist or back of your hand. It\u2019s also recommended to head out into the headlight to see how it really looks without the harsh lights of the department store. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You need to pick a shade that\u2019s of the same color as your face. If the shade disappears into your skin, boom! You\u2019ve found the right foundation for you! <\/span><br \/>\n<b>Mistake #3: Skipping Primer<\/b><br \/>\n<b>\u201cNot to Prime is a Crime,\u201d<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> says the Australian makeup artist and businessman, <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/napoleonperdis.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><b>Napoleon Perdis<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. According to Perdis, primer makes the foundation blend better into your skin. It may be tempting to skip primer when you\u2019re in a hurry but it\u2019s actually one of the keys to getting a smooth, even, poreless, and long-lasting finish for your makeup.<\/span><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1358 lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.flowactivo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/applying-foundation-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"applying foundation\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/683;\" \/><br \/>\n<b>Mistake # 4: Overlooking Setting Spray And Powder<\/b><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to primer, setting your makeup after applying everything is another important step to maintaining your flawless finish all day long. The easiest and quickest ways to do this is by spritzing settIng spray on your primped face. If you have an oily skin, using a bit of setting powder also works to get that nice and flawless matte finish. <\/span><br \/>\n<b>Mistake #5 Applying Too Much Foundation<\/b><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unless you want a cakey look, avoid layering foundation multiple times. Be strategic with your application. If you have something to hide, leave the job to the concealer. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apply a thinner layer of makeup to areas where the skin is thin, like your forehead, nose bridge, and around your eyes. Apply a heavier layer on thicker areas, such as the cheeks, nostrils, chin, jaw, and upper lip. <\/span><br \/>\n<b>Mistake #6: Gliding With Your Fingers<\/b><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Makeup brushes are there for a reason. Using your fingers will create streaky, blotchy, and uneven coverage. Additionally, you may also transfer oil and dirt from your hands to your face. \u00a0Invest in a good foundation brush, a damp makeup sponge, or a beauty blender for applying your foundation. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using a high-quality brush also allows you to apply efficiently, using less of your expensive foundation while having a smooth, even, and flawless result. \u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<b>Mistake #7: Forgetting To Blend Down Your Neck<\/b><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your foundation should act like your second skin, not your mask. That said, you shouldn\u2019t forget that your neck needs to match with your face. Keep working with your brush right past your chin and jaw. Buff it in circular motions for a more natural-looking finish. <\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever watched a makeup tutorial on YouTube, did the exact step\u2013by\u2013step procedure, but obtained a different result?
