"Hi! I'm Leah from Refuel Spa on behalf of Expert Village. In our next segement, we'll be doing a foundation application. With our foundation application, I'm actually going to begin with a product called setting powder. What this product is going to do is act as a pore minimizer, and it's also going to polish our surface and really allow that foundation to go very smoothly on the skin, almost making the skin like it doesn't have pores or completely flawless so we're going to begin with that. This comes in a very convenient compact so you can actually reapply it through the day. Just keep it in your purse. We're just going to apply a little bit focusing mostly on those T-zone areas. In those exess oil production areas, we tend to have a little bit of enlarged pores. Applying the powder directly over the skin, this powder foundation, can actually sit in the pores so we're going to want to use this product again to create that flawless finish. Once we've completed that, I'm going to take a little bit of my cool beige foundation. I'm actually going to tap a little bit onto my pallet here. I chose my medium kabuki brush. This is going to give us about a medium coverage. The dense bristles indicate that we can get a little bit more. I'm just going to dip my brush right into that powder. I'm going to tap that brush down, then I'm just going to apply in circular motions. You can take this right up to the eye. It's completely safe to use everywhere. Again, with this foundation, you have complete control over how much coverage you want. Alright. You see it's easy. It takes less than 30 seconds for a flawless finish.
