Step 1:
Start by pouring the foundation onto a pallet directly from its container.
Step 2:
To match the foundation shade to the client's skin tone, use your fingers or a damp sponge.
Step 3:
Make sure you conceal the lips and eyelids so that the foundation doesn't hit them directly.
Step 4:
This step is specifically for people who have blemishes or pimples; use a green stick or concealer before foundation to give those areas better coverage.
Step 5:
Using your spatula, squeeze out some foundation and apply it to your hand.
Step 6:
Those who apply foundation with their hands should proceed to this step. For a noticeable effect, apply a dot of foundation to the forehead, cheeks, nose, chin, and jawline. Then, scrub the area evenly.
Step 7:
Blend the foundation by stroking downward with your foundation brush. To the extent that no makeup is visible at all, blend extremely well.
Step 8:
To remove extra foundation that may be present around the hairline and eyebrow, use a damp cotton wool pad.
Step 9:
After applying foundation, use a color wash to give the skin a glaze.
