How to use foundation in 3 different ways?

 

We always hear that the foundation needs to be strong for better construction. Foundation works as its namesake for makeup as well.No matter if you are taking baby steps or you are a professional, she is everyone’s favourite. In a more specific way, the foundation is the shield that protects your look and builds a stage where you can perform your entire makeup on.

Foundation not only covers your entire face and neck but also highlights your natural complexion. But choosing a foundation can be a boon or can be a bane. In the following, we will break it down from how to pick a foundation to some most innovative ways to apply it.

How to pick the One

Picking the right shade is the stepping stone in this journey. Take your potential shade similar or closer to your complexion (in case you don’t find your exact shade) and swatch it on your wrist or the back of your palm and bring it closer to your face to check if it matches.

If you want to cover your entire face and want your makeup base to have that lasting effect, then you can go for Lakme 9 to 5 foundation. Its weightless creamy finish is not going to make your face feel heavy and will also give you the bold look you crave for.

Embrace your undertones, they are what makes you different. Choose some natural and warm shades to complement what already exists.

3 Most Innovative ways to apply Foundation

1. Stippling Brush: Hunting for an airbrush-finish makeup look? Then opt for a Stippling Brush. This feather-like brush works like magic, especially for liquid or mousse foundations. Apply liquid foundation with a stippling brush in a light circular motion for a smooth airbrush finish. Don’t add too much pressure or it may have visible strokes or cakey. This brush is compatible with oily skin.
2. Beauty Blender: How can we forget this good old friend? But a lot of us use beauty blenders in the wrong way. Applying foundation on a dry beauty blender is a strike no-no. Damp your beauty blender in water and squeeze out the excess. Now take the necessary amount of Lakme 9 to 5 foundation on the blender and dab it over your face. Don’t create strokes or don’t drag the blender on your face, instead go for a dab-dab motion until the foundation is thoroughly blended.
3. Oval Brush: Oval Brush is a fantastic tool for reaching tricky areas. Pick an oval brush with a bendy neck. Apply foundation directly on your face or on the meeting and go for an upward motion in one direction to avoid any flakey effect.

Have a Plan B

There are days when you might want to go for a no-makeup makeup look or just want to wear your naturally beautiful skin ideally. What can be the replacement for that? Here is where CC cream walks in. CC cream is a colour corrector to even out your skin tone. CC cream gives a natural minimalist finish and is a perfect fit into your everyday makeup routine.

If you are a lip gloss and mascara girl then Lakme 9 to 5 cc cream is your product. Take some amount on your fingertip or a beauty blender and apply it to your face and neck. Blend evenly on your face and cover areas, especially under the eyes and around the nose and mouth. Give it a rest for a couple of minutes before moving toward the next steps of your makeup.

Tip: Always start with a clean and prepped face to keep everything together. Finish your look with a fixing spray or compact. Don’t forget to wash your brushes and beauty blenders after use.
