"I'm Kelli. On behalf of Expert Village, I'm going to show you some tips and techniques that you can use to create a silver and gold holiday look.

As you can tell, her foundation is blending really nicely into her skin, which is really important. When you choose a color or foundation for you, you want one that basically will melt right into your skin. You should never have to work too hard to blend your foundation. You should also never have any line of demarcation along the jaw line. You should never be able to tell where your makeup ends and your face begins. It's not a very attractive look.

That's how you will want to apply your foundation."
