I always apply foundation with my fingers and then blend using pads to get it into any little nooks I may have missed and to smooth it out, I wear Mac studio fix NW50.
Can anyone offer up any tips?Wearing two different shades of foundation?
visit the following urlWearing two different shades of foundation?
You should wear a foundation for your regular skin tone and another foundation that is 2 shades darker. This darker foundation can be used for contouring your face. Just suck in you cheeks to see where your cheekbones are and make a diagonal line with the dark foundation to mark it and apply the dark foundation everywhere beneath that area. Then apply your regular foundation all over your face to blend it in and make that line disappear so it looks natural. It gives the illusion of a thinner face and defines your cheek bones. Just because Im a guy, it doesn't mean I dont know makeup. =D
It means wearing them blended together.
So you mix the two before applying them if the foundation shades are too light or dark, or if one is too yellow and one is too pink.
Not all people need to do this if they can find a shade that matches.
You should not be using your fingers. Not only is that unsanitary but it can cause unnecessary tugging to the skin, and can result in less even/smooth results. Instead, apply it with a brush or sponge first and blend out with your brush.
Is the foundation you use now matching properly? If so, there is no need for another foundation.
I don't think you have to wear two shades if your foundation matches your skin tone really well.
But usually, the darker areas of your face are around the cheekbones, near the nose, e.t.c. (around bone formations)
