· Put a little foundation in the middle of your forehead and spread it with circular strokes to cover the entire area up to the hairline.
· Work down from the temple, over the check, and under the eye; repeat on the other side of the face.
Put a dab of foundation at each side of the nose, and blend these over the nose and up over the eyelids. This will form a base for your eye shadow.
Cover your chin, lips, and jaw line, blending the foundation under the jaw line to avoid leaving a sharp line.
Remove any surplus foundation from your neck, using the backs of your fingers in light upward strokes. Check closely in a mirror that the foundation is even. Blot all over with a tissue.
Powder
Powder is essential to help set your foundation and to provide a grease-free surface for the rest of your make-up. It may be tempting to miss-out on the powder, but it does give a more natural finish than bare foundation; the only time it can be left off is when you have used a bronzing gel as a base.
Powder is available in two forms: loose and compressed. Loose powder gives a more translucent finish and is best for the first dusting after applying foundation; any surplus is easy to remove. Solid powder is more convenient and less messy to carry around, and is best used for quick repairs such as dusting a shiny nose. Because compressed powder tends to be thicker, it must be applied carefully and evenly to avoid a clogged or heavy finish.
