Foundation

Question:

I want to know how to apply foundation properly so it doesn’t look like a bad job.

Rosie, via e-mail.

Answer:

The best way to achieve a professional makeup application is to apply foundation with a flat, damp makeup sponge, starting down the centre of the face and blending outwards. This avoids any build-up around the hairline. Allow foundation to settle for a few minutes before sealing your application with a light dusting of translucent powder.
