Today’s tip is about A Makeup Mistake When Applying Foundation:

When applied correctly, makeup can give you an instant confidence boost, but when not done right it can also be a quick way to make you feel like wearing it was a big mistake.

Being the base, the foundation of your makeup, it is very important to get it right. The formula and color of foundation you choose can make all the difference.

Here are the previous Foundation Tips we have discussed

1: Properly prepare your skin

2: Choose the correct formula

3: Blend your foundation down past your jawline

4: Set your foundation correctly.

5: Change your foundation formula along with the changing seasons.

6: Apply your foundation before your concealer

Today’s Tip is Blend and blend and blend some more!

Makeup is more than just throwing on some color here or there.  It is not just about putting on foundation, concealer, blush, and eyeshadow. Even if you are going for a natural look and you are using neutral shades, it is going to look unnatural if you don’t blend your makeup properly.

The key to natural-looking makeup is blending. Makeup that isn’t blended well can end up looking like a clown mask instead of an enhancement to your beautiful face. Invest in a few good brushes, and practice blending your makeup.

If you make this foundation faux pas, don’t be too hard on yourself, we all make mistakes. 😉

Today’s tip Never organizes what you can discard.

In the last few years, I have chosen a word for the year. This year I have chosen “Intentional.”

I want to be intentional in the things I do and in the things I have around me.

I have a nice house, but it has no storage space! I recently read an article about getting organized. It said when trying to get organized ask yourself these questions about any of the items I am keeping, donating, or tossing?

1. Does this serve a purpose?
2. Is it useful and in working order?
3. Have I used it in the last year?
4. It is the only item that we have that serves this purpose?
5. Would I buy it again today?

If the answer is “No” then I need to get rid of it.

Today’s tip is a bit different than my usual makeup tips but you can apply these 5 questions when organizing your makeup and beauty collection.

Foundation Tip 4: Set your foundation correctly.

If you want your foundation to last all day you have to set it! Choose the right products to finish up your foundation application to make it look fresher and last longer.

Use a loose face powder to set your foundation.  If you are afraid of changing the color of your foundation try a translucent shade of powder.

My favorite setting powder is the Maybelline Fit Me Loose Finishing Powder and the Coty Airspun Loose Face Powder.

 

Use a light hand when applying a setting or finishing powder.  Prevent your skin from appearing dry and powdery by tapping off your brush before applying the powder.  It is always easier to build up and add more than it is to remove and blend out if you have applied too much. Also, if you apply too much the powder may settle into lines making you look older than you are.  A facial spray or makeup setting mist works great to set the foundation and setting powder.

Any long-time reader of Looking Joli Good knows that I love the Mario Badescu facial sprays.
