Tips & Warnings
Apply less foundation than you believe you need. This is important because cream foundation is heavier and provides more coverage than a liquid foundation.
Applying foundation in downward motion ensures that the little hairs we all have on the face will lie flat, and avoid an "un-smooth" finish.
Using a damp sponge makes for a light, sheer application of your foundation.
