Foundation

Question:

I want to know how to apply my foundation so I get a polished clear skin. I always find that after applying it I end up looking older and more lined. Sue, via email.

Answer:

Apply your foundation with a damp, flat synthetic sponge starting down the centre of the face and blending outwards. This ensure there is no foundation build-up around the hairline.

Avoid applying foundation around the eye area if you have a few lines as this will only accentuate them. Avoid powder as well.
