How to Apply Lightweight Foundation

A lightweight foundation is perfect for evening out your complexion without hiding your skin. All a light foundation should do is enhance your natural beauty. Applying it the right way will make it look as if you're not even wearing any makeup.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Lightweight foundation
• Mirror
• Makeup sponge (optional)

1. Choose a foundation. When selecting a lightweight formula, make sure it matches your skin tone as closely as possible.

2. Use clean fingers to dot foundation on your forehead, cheeks, nose and chin.

3. Blend foundation outward, into your hairline and under your jawline.

4. Use a makeup sponge if desired to blend the foundation more evenly.

5. Check your look in a mirror in natural daylight to make sure the foundation appears natural and that you've blended it as well as possible.

Tips & Warnings

• Lightweight foundations are usually in liquid form; they tend to provide the lightest coverage.
