How To Apply Foundation

 


STEP 1: Start With a Smooth Canvas

If your skin is flaking, peeling or oily, you can’t expect your foundation to go on smoothly. To prep the skin before applying foundation, make sure to exfoliate once or twice a week. This will help slough away any dry patches, dead skin cells and excess oil. For a gentle exfoliater try YOU·OLOGY exfoliating mask




STEP 2: Hydrate Your Skin

No matter your skin type or the type of foundation you plan on using, moisturizing before applying makeup is the key to an even-looking application. It’s important to create a hydrated canvas so the makeup doesn’t cake. For a dewy and supple glow, try the TOUCH GLORIOUS hydrating face primer.

STEP 3: Let Skin Care Seep In 

It’s just as important to let your moisturizer and skin care dry down as it is to apply it in the first place.  If you apply liquid, gel or powder foundation before your moisturizer has completely absorbed, you run the risk of streaky, splotchy makeup. Try and wait five to ten minutes before moving onto your makeup. 

STEP 4: Don’t Forget Primer 

Want your foundation to look as good in the afternoon as it does when you first apply it? Make sure to use a primer. This step will grip the foundation, provide a smooth base and keep your makeup on all day. 

STEP 5: Find the Right Formula 

Foundations come in liquid, gel, powder and cream form, so try a few to find the best finish and texture for your skin. For example, you don’t want to layer on a pressed powder if your skin is ultra dry. And if you have oily skin, it’s probably best to steer clear of heavy cream foundations. 

STEP 6: Find the Right Shade 

When selecting your foundation, try and match the color with your undertone. This will help the foundation look natural on your skin. As a rule of thumb, people with pink undertones should look for cool foundations, people with yellow undertones should seek out warm foundations, and those with a mix of undertones should opt for neutral colors. 

I love any of the foundations from Younique because it has shades available for every undertone, so you can find your perfect color match. 

STEP 7: Use the Right Tools 

While you can use your hands, a beauty sponge or makeup brush to apply your foundation, the tool you use can play a big role in how your foundation looks. A beauty sponge is great for getting a natural, second-skin finish, whereas a makeup brush typically provides more coverage. If you’re using a tinted moisturizer, though, feel free to use your hands — just make sure they’re clean. The YOUNIQUE kabuki brush is my favorite brush to apply my foundation..A few sprays of the YOUNIQUE TOUCH spray foundation onto the brush and swirl and buff.

STEP 8: Apply Your Color Corrector 

If you’re trying to cover up a red pimple or dark under-eye circles, you may want to try a color corrector (I love the NYX Professional Makeup Color Correcting Palette) to neutralize any dark spots or redness. Generally, green shades cancel out redness and red or yellow shades hide dark blue or purple under-eye circles. 



STEP 9: Foundation First, Then Concealer 

This one can be confusing, and while different techniques work better for some, your concealer after your foundation..  Not only will you end up using less product overall, but the concealer on top can brighten your overall complexion. The new YOUNIQUE TOUCH skin solution concealer has amazing anti-aging ingredients and I have a new Holiday Bliss Bundle that you can get any foundation and the concealer for $49.

STEP 10: Set It 

Just like a primer is designed to hold onto your foundation, a setting powder makes it stay put. Once you’ve applied foundation and concealer, give your face a light swipe using a translucent powder like the TOUCH BEHOLD translucent setting powderfor flawless and budge-free makeup in a snap. This is also helpful to prevent your makeup from rubbing off on your protective face mask.

Hi BodyRockers, . Face it you are weird. In today’s world if you train like a warrior, flex your discipline when it comes to your diet, and pass on grazing on donuts in the break room at work chances are you are chided on some level by those around as being weird. Get used to it. Embrace the smell of your sweaty socks. Not many people make a daily practice out of pushing themselves beyond their comfort zones for one workout a day. Not many people step out of what is comfortable for themselves period. This is a niche movement. Not everyone will get why you train this way or why you train at all. Thankfully we don’t need anyones permission or approval, and if we are looking for support we have a place to go where people get it. Being weird requires a good measure of independ

How Air Pollution Is Damaging Your Health

Image
Exposure to air pollution is associated with numerous effects on human health, including pulmonary, cardiac, vascular, and neurological impairments. The health effects vary greatly from person to person. High-risk groups such as the elderly, infants, pregnant women, and sufferers from chronic heart and lung diseases are more susceptible to air pollution. Children are at greater risk because they are generally more active outdoors and their lungs are still developing. Exposure to air pollution can cause both acute (short-term) and chronic (long-term) health effects. The health of our lungs and entire respiratory system is affected by the quality of the air we breathe. In addition to oxygen, this air contains other substances
