How to Apply Foundation to Last Longer

Foundation is the base that is meant to even out your skin tone and help your makeup look just right on your face. Without it, some women have blotchy skin or blemishes that show through and detract from their beautiful faces. In order to make your foundation last even longer on your face, follow the steps outlined below.

Things You'll Need

• Powder
• Foundation
• Tissues

Instructions

1. Wash and moisturize your face to provide a good base for your makeup and to keep your face as clean and healthy as possible.

2. Apply the foundation as normal, making sure to blend the areas around your jaw line so that you don't look like you're wearing a mask. Your foundation should match your skin's natural color.

3. Gently press a clean sponge or tissue around your face to set the foundation on your skin.

4. Apply powder over the foundation to really set it, but do not brush the powder on. Use a puff of some kind instead, and press instead of rubbing.

Tips & Warnings

• Match your foundation to your real skin tone and make sure to blend it in well at your hairline and jawline.

• Don't forget to check your foundation a couple of times during the day to be sure it stays the way you want it.
