  • Hi, today I am going to show you foundation essentials.

  • The first step for foundation is the moisturizer. You have to ensure you don't use a very greasy

  • moisturizer. It helps blend the moisturizer well. As you can see our model has a couple

  • of spots, so, I'm applying the foundation. Here we've created a color for her, but you

  • have so many choices in the ... You could use your fingers as well. I prefer it with

  • a brush for even coverage. And never to forget your neck while you're doing foundation. A

  • lot of people tend to forget putting foundation on the neck and that looks really bad by the

  • end of it. So after we dabbed the foundation which you can do with your fingers as well,

  • you can even just mix a little bit of her foundation if you want light coverage with

  • the moisturizer, give it like a hint of color. The reason why foundation is so important

  • is because when we are working with colors, especially for the evenings rather, you need

  • a clear canvas. I'm using a wet sponge so it takes away the excess. Just leaves a little

  • bit of an even tone, and better looking skin. Also, I always apply foundation or concealer

  • on the lips, because when you do apply on lipstick it stays longer, and gives you a

  • better, defined lipstick. You really have to blend it in well. The other thing you have

  • to remember when using foundation is that it haves to blend in with your chest color.

  • Only then you've got your color right. Never miss the ears. And that you can just apply

  • with whatever is left with the sponge or your fingertips. This is a high definition and

  • high coverage foundation. We don't need too much of concealer over it. So the next step

  • after applying foundation is using a stippling brush and blending into your skin to give

  • it a more natural look. The reason of using a stippling brush is it really blends into

  • your skin. Doesn't look fake. Foundation is meant to look like second skin, which you

  • will see in future videos. The third and the most important step is the concealer. Since

  • we have already covered it with foundation you don't need to do an overload of concealer,

  • just a touch of it to remove the few flaws left behind. We only do a little bit of contouring

  • when we do the foundation. So you take foundation color which is about, six, seven tones darker

  • to your skin tone, and apply it down the bridge of your nose, barely, as you can see I am

  • doing. When you are applying powder you need to remember not to miss any part of the face,

  • because after some time that gets greasier than the other parts of the face. So we're

  • done with the foundation, as you can see it looks completely flawless. And that's what

  • we have to achieve, now during the day you can miss the foundation, it's not imperative

  • that you have to use to foundation, but for the evening out or weddings or important functions

  • or maybe your lunch out, it's always nice that you have a little bit of foundation which

  • helps you look flawless, glow a little more, take out your imperfections, and the color

  • that you have add on with the makeup that you do looks way better with the foundation.

  • So this the video on foundation essentials. Keep watching for more makeup tips on MDhil.
