Skin Preparation
Dehydrated or dry skin can cause makeup to clump and cling into dry patches. Your face can
look like it’s peeling when you put on foundation.
Oily skin can also cause makeup to split on the face. Following an appropriate skincare routine
and preparing your skin before makeup application is an essential step.
Start by cleansing your face with a non-abrasive cleanser.
Follow by skin exfoliation.
The third step is to hydrate the skin.

Apply a Good Primer to Avoid Patchy Foundation

Use a primer that has the same base ingredients as your foundation.
Using the wrong primer can make your foundation look worse. It can make your makeup look
dry and patchy.
If you are using a silicone-based primer, use a silicone-based foundation. For water-based
primers, use water based foundations.
Allow the primer to set on the skin for a few minutes before moving to the next step.

Apply Less Foundation

To make your foundation look more natural, apply less foundation. Start by applying a thin layer
of foundation and build it up on the areas where you need more coverage.
Use a dense buffing brush or a damp makeup sponge to blend your foundation. Press gently and
buff the foundation into the skin to avoid a patchy makeup look.
The foundation tends to separate around the mouth and nose, so apply less product on these
areas.
Applying too much foundation can also make you look older, so it’s better to use it sparingly.
If you have an even skin tone but need to cover some blemishes, you can skip foundation.
Using concealer instead of foundation can still help you achieve a flawless look.
Choose the Right Foundation Type for Your Skin
There are many formulas and textures for foundations, and choosing the right one depends on
your skin type.
For oily skin, try a matte or semi-matte foundation.
For aging skin, avoid heavy foundations, as they can settle into fine lines.
Use a powder foundation if liquid formulas are not working well for your skin type.

Mix Your Moisturizer With Foundation

Mixing your foundation with a moisturizer gives it a natural and minimal look. You can also use
face oil drops to add some glow to the skin.
Mixing your foundation with a face oil can help the foundation to blend easier on the skin. When
you apply it to the face, it can also add a beautiful, flawless finish.

Try a Sample Before You Buy

Sometimes foundations don’t work on our skin no matter what we do. Try testing the
foundation by getting a sample from the store before buying it.
It’s hard to tell how a foundation will sit on your skin, so sampling is a nice option! If a
foundation always breaks up on your face, it might be a good idea to change it and try another
one.

Use the Right Tools and Clean Them Often

Choosing the right tools can have a big impact on the way your makeup looks.
Sponges can help give the skin a natural finish as they soak up any excess product. However,
they are not the most hygienic tool because they need to be washed after each makeup
application.
Brushes can work well too, but I like to go over and press the foundation with a damp sponge
even after using a brush. This helps the makeup to melt into the skin.
No matter what tools you use, cleaning them often is so important. Makeup brushes can collect
oil and dirt, so they must be cleaned at least once a week to avoid makeup clumping on the skin.

Set the Foundation

Apply a tiny amount of loose or compact setting powder to set the foundation into place. You
can use a powder puff to press the powder into the skin.
Avoid heavy powders that can look cakey on the skin.
People with oily skin might need a mattifying powder that absorbs shine.
Setting the foundation has many benefits and can prevent the makeup from looking patchy
during the day.
Choose a setting powder color that matches your skin tone or has a slightly lighter shade.

Finish With a Setting Spray!
