Common Foundation Mistakes to Avoid

Foundation is the canvas on which we build a gorgeous makeup look. Avoid these common foundation mistakes to enhance your complexion and create a natural-looking finish.

1. Applying With Your Fingers
   It may seem easiest to apply foundation with your fingers, but it oftentimes leaves harsh lines on the skin. For a more accurate blend, use a brush or sponge. With a brush, blend or stipple the foundation create an airbrushed finish with little product. With a sponge, dab to avoid lines. Brushes are preferable to sponges, as they blend more evenly and do not absorb as much product.
2. Using Powder Foundation
   Powder foundation can look chalky and settle into wrinkles. Plus, it dries out the skin and looks obvious in pictures. Use liquid MakeSense Foundation for the most natural and flawless coverage. You can use powder, however, when setting your makeup at the end — Translucid Powder in Natural is perfect for this!
3. Highlighting Fine Lines
   Foundation is meant to hide fine lines, not enhance them. Avoid creasing by applying a thin amount of product under the eye and around the mouth (where wrinkles are most prominent). Use a tissue to dab any excess product off. Be sure to use MakeSense Silk before foundation application to fill fine lines and wrinkles and create a smooth skin surface.
4. Testing the Color on Your Hands
   To color test, don’t dab the shades on the back of your hand. Instead, test the color on your jaw line to find a match.

MakeSense Foundation provides the perfect, natural feeling and looking coverage and anti-aging benefits to the skin, and is available in Original and Advanced Anti-Aging for fantastic coverage and skin benefits in one.
