" Hi I'm Yvette Parish thanks for joining me at Expert Village. Today I'm going to show you how to apply the foundation, the different textures and the different styles to do so. The first thing we are going to do anytime you want to cover any kind of blemishes or dark circles, or frickels always put the foundation on first. We are always going to put foundation on first because I guarantee you at least of 50% of your blemishes are going to be cover by foundation. People tend to go when they see there self oh my goodness I don't have any makeup and they tend to go crazy with the concealer putt it here, they are putting it here, they are using the concealer like a foundation. Don't do it use a concealer just to concealer what you need to conceal. So what I'm going to do first is apply the foundation completely then we are going to see what we have left to conceal and I guarantee at least 50% would be covered. We are going to use a cream foundation and honey milk. You know what I'm going to do I'm going to mix her a certain color. Let me mix Ann a special color here. She is kind of between a few shades. So I'm going to take a light shade. Open your hand please. And I have a little spatula and a pallet and I'm going to grab a little bit of color and I'm going to apply it there and I'm going to take I'm going to open this one(okay that one doesn't really want to open that is good. And that one is good alright.) I'm going to take a little bit of another color and I'm going to mix her own foundation. You just mix it like this with the. This is a pallet that you could get at a art store and you could get this tin also at a art store and it is meant to mix acrylic paints and that type of thing. I'm going to give her a little tan a healthy glow."
