Things you will need.

1. Moisturizer

2. Foundation

3. Sponge/applicator

Application of foundation is not as hard as you think. the hardest part about applying foundation is choosing a foundation that is right for you. Most companies have a wide selection of foundation colors ranging from fair to ebony. Once you've chosen a foundation, the hard part is over. To do this, test foundations along your jaw line. You will know the best color because it will disappear into your skin and match completely

First things first, many people apply foundation straight from the tube which is a big mistake. Doing so normally results in dry looking ashy skin (unless your skin is naturally soft and supple) Before application of a foundation your skin needs a base, such as a moisturizer. If you have oily skin an oil free moisturizer will do. It is typically recommended to use a foundation with at least spf15 if you do not already use a sunscreen to keep your skin looking soft, youthful and beautiful.

1. First start by applying 4 dabs of foundation with your face with your finger tips. One on your forehead, your cheeks and your chin.

2. Smooth it out with a sponge. This step is very important. Be sure to blend, blend and blend. Most women make the mistake of forgetting to apply under the cheek which can give you a masked look. Unnatural looking streaks are often seen close to the ears, mouth, jaw line, temples and sides of the nose when blending is not properly done.

3. After application of foundation a loose power is used to set the foundation in place for a more natural looking finish. Loose powers are also used through out the day to freshen up your look.
