If makeup is the application then your face is definitely the canvas, so ensure you prepare the base work correctly in order to create the perfect finish. Should you have oily skin conditions use an oil free lotion to prep the skin first, similarly if your skin tends to be drier use a rich moisturizing cream. Next apply a light reflecting primer which will help to lock in your foundation, a concealer should also be used on areas where you require that little extra coverage to hide uneven skin tones and any spots or shadows. The key to a good concealer is to keep building layers until you have the coverage you require. For your foundation application ensure you have a nice even coverage that does not look overdone, you can use fingers, brushes, sponges or a combination depending on your personal preference. Powdering your face will help to lock in your foundation and help makeup stay exactly how and where you put it, complete the process with powder for the ultimate finish.
