How To Apply Liquid Foundation Tutorial

how to apply liquid foundation

Start with a moisturiseed skin, apply sun screen after that. Also apply lip balm. If you have oily skin or big pores apply a primer or a pore minimizer.

There are various brushes you may use to apply liquid foundation. I have three. The regular standard foundation brush, a duo fiber brush and Sigma Flat Top Kabuki Brush.

foundation brushes

Today I would be using the standard foundation brush. Warm up the foundation at the back of your hand using a foundation brush.

Start from the centre of your face and move towards the hair line., Move your brush in criss-cross and outward motion.

Don’t forget ..

and especially the neck.

A very small but an important step now. Hold your foundation brush flat and  loose. Now lightly pat the brush on your face. Keep patting until your cover your full face. This would not only set your foundation but would also help you get rid of any streaks. Hence, a flawless foundation application.

Next Step : Concealer

I use a fluffy eyeshadow brush for my concealer application. I have not been able to get such flawless and even concealer application with any other brush so far.

Now dot the concealer under your eyes, on the sides of the nose, on blemishes, around the edges of your mouth or anywhere where you need concealing. Blend away with brush till everything looks seamless.

Tip : Tilt your face down. This way you’d be able to able to see the “rings” of your under eyes and you’d be able to conceal better.

Powder

I used two kind of powders for my face. Loose Powder- for setting the under eye concealer because I feel the compacts sometimes can make the under eye area look cakey.Compact : For Face.

Blush :

I apply blush in upward outward way. this sort of contours my face giving it a slimmer look. Also, it uplifts the features.

Eyes : Keeping it very simple with kohl, brown eyeshadow and mascara

Smudge it lightly with brown eyeshadow and apply mascara. This would set your kohl and prevent it from moving.

Fill in your brows with same brown eyeshadow.

Finish off with your favourite lipstick and you are done. 🙂

Done!! 🙂

Hope you like it. 🙂

  10. very very nice and MUCH required tute rati..simply luv d way u described it :love: :love: m archiving dis post for sure…

    rati..need ur help..i have recently got this HIGHLIGHTER flat brush frm oriflame along wid their newly launched highlighter kit(a disapointment cuz of its size 😥 )..but sumhw i m not getting hang of how to use this kit and brush.. :nababana: :nababana: plz help me out.can u let me knw hw can i use this highlighter brush and kit (its creamy in texture) or rather simply put-How can i use highlighter brush as i donn no.. 😥

  11. rati……

    shud i say this is beautiful….. :whistle: :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:

    Trust me! Sanjeev is a lucky man to have a beautiful and intelligent wife… :love: :love: :love: :waytogo: :waytogo:
    I always applied foundation using a sponge but now on, i wud use a brush… I just purchased a kabuki recently. I use tinted moisturiser, can i use the brush technique for that too ????

    1. tarry i think for TM it’s best to use fingers. it is sheer as it is and the brush would suck up most of the product. I think… you may just apply with fingers and dab it with sponge to get rid of streaks. Thank you. 🙂

        1. Oh BTW!!

          I owe u big time Rati…. i hv started using Lotus whitening emulsion on ur advice and my skin luks awesome… check this new dp… I got a wonderful compliment yesterday that my skin looks great in natural light now.. :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks:

        2. I feel mouse foundations are best used with finger tips coz the heat between the fingers sort of melt the foundation . that helps in spreading the product easily and smoothly. after that you can buff the foundation with a kabuki brush. works great!

  12. Rati di, adopt me pleeeeeeeaaassssseee..so that I can have all ur makeup saman. :stars: :stars: :stars: :stars: :stars: n u look so pretty and flawless without makeup.. :love: :love: :love: :love:
