Things You'll Need:
- Palette
- Spatula
- Foundations
-
Step 1
Buy a small spatula and palette from an art supply store. You can find these items in the acrylic paints department.
-
Step 2
Visit the makeup section of a department store without wearing any makeup. Ask salespeople for assistance in choosing liquid foundations. Request to have small dots of different foundations applied to your skin.
-
Step 3
Go outside and check the foundations' finishes. The fluorescent lights of department stores may give you a false impression of the foundations' effectiveness. Purchase two or three shades of liquid foundation that closely match your skin tone under natural sunlight.
-
Step 4
Cleanse and moisturize your face again when you get home or when you're ready to put on your makeup.
-
Step 5
Dip the spatula into the foundations and set a bit of each on the palette. Use the spatula to blend all the foundation samples. Apply a bit of the blended mix onto your face with a finger, sponge or foundation brush.
-
Step 6
Examine the results and determine if you need more or less of a specific foundation color. Experiment with the different foundation colors by blending different amounts of foundation together and applying them to your skin until you achieve the perfect color match.
-
Step 7
Mix the right amounts of foundations together each time you need to apply makeup. You could also store a larger amount of blended foundation in a sealed glass container once you find the right amounts of each foundation color to mix. This may save you the hassle of mixing every time you put on makeup.
