I love learning new and different ways to apply my foundation base. I used to use my fingers a lot, and when I was taught the super quick way of using my palm to spread the foundation on my skin<\/a>, I was sold. I used this method for a long time, until I came upon the Perfect Foundation Brush<\/a>. Then, it was brushes all the way for me.<\/p>\n I’ve shared a few Makeup Artist tips for applying foundation (Clinique<\/a>, Lunasol<\/a>, Estee Lauder<\/a>, Dior<\/a>) but here’s one from a Dior Pro-team International Makeup Artist that I just have to share by way of a tutorial, because not only is it fast, its easy and error free and importantly, gives me a beautiful base every single time \ud83d\ude00 Makeup Artist to the stars, Junior Cede\u00f1o applied this for me, using the Diorsnow BB Creme but I’ve since tried it with BB Cream and liquid foundation, and it works very well for both.<\/p>\n This is now my go-to method for applying base and if you can draw lines (doesn’t even have to be straight lines!), you will love it too! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Here’s what you’ll need:-<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n I have tried this with various liquid foundations and it works. How sheer or how full the coverage is depends on your foundation. This method also ensures you do not over apply product and that you use just enough for your face. Generally, 1 pump of foundation suffices every time, and you don’t end up overdoing certain areas of your face that may not need the foundation at all. There were some foundations I found patchy before but now, they are a breeze to apply!<\/p>\n What I like is that by using this method, I now have a more even finish and its surprisingly fast! Doesn’t even take me 5 minutes to sort out my base makeup and I’m always left with a beautiful finish each time. This is a backstage tip and you know how fast they have to work backstage for fashion shows, so they have no time to waste. This stripey method was quick, efficient and effective.<\/p>\n The trick with using a powder foundation to set just the middle bit of your face was quite a genius idea too. I found that it did help control oil better, and my foundation did not fade off as quickly as they sometimes do. You know how it is when you find your nose turning shiny by day’s end and your base gone? This helps to prevent that. Of course, if your foundation does not suit your skin or turns it oily and slips off then it won’t help. This assumes that you are already using a foundation that suits your skin – its not magic, just making the best use of what you have \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n\n
