Make-up: How to Apply Foundation

Make-up: How to Apply Foundation

When applying Foundation we first set up all the kit out on the counter and I had my client take all their make-up off and put on moisturizer on the skin ready for prep for the foundation. First, I then prep the skin with a primer from Illamasqua which helps with dry skin which my client had. When applying the foundation we first had to test which shade of foundation would match the clients skin type. By doing this I used the foundation palette from Kryolan and scooped a little from the shades I thought would match her skin colour and then put it onto the back off my clean hand and applied it onto the skin with a flat foundation brush. Then When applying the concealer you do the same process as the foundation by scooping out and testing the concealer on the clients skin, also when choosing the right shade of concealer it should always be either one or two shades lighter then the foundation. Then to apply to the skin I used a small flat brush but remember to always be careful near peoples eyes. Then with the Kabuki brush from Kryolan brush in all the foundation and concealer to get away any streaks or lines on the skin. Then lastly, using the Illamasqua setting powder press it lightly into the skin using a make-up sponge and then dust of any excess with a brush.
