Applying liquid foundation from Type Beauty or any other brand requires a few simple steps to achieve a smooth and flawless finish. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to apply liquid foundation:
1. Start with Clean Skin:
Begin with a clean and moisturized face. Cleansing and moisturizing your skin creates a smooth canvas for makeup application. Wait a few minutes after applying moisturizer to let it fully absorb.
2. Primer (Optional):
Apply a makeup primer if you have one. Primer helps to create an even texture on your skin and can extend the wear time of your foundation. It’s especially beneficial if you have oily skin or large pores.
3. Choose the Right Shade:
Select a liquid foundation shade from Type Beauty that closely matches your skin tone. You can swatch a few shades on your jawline to find the best match. If you’re between shades, it’s usually better to go slightly lighter.
4. Dispense the Foundation:
Shake the foundation bottle well to ensure the product is properly mixed. Then, dispense a small amount of foundation onto the back of your hand or a makeup palette. A little goes a long way, so start with a small amount and add more if needed.
5. Application Methods:
a. Fingers:
– Using clean fingers, dot the foundation onto your forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin.
– Gently blend the foundation using your fingers, starting from the center of your face and working outward. Use tapping or pressing motions to blend for a natural finish.
b. Makeup Sponge (Beauty Blender):
– Dampen a makeup sponge slightly and squeeze out excess water.
– Dip the sponge into the foundation on your hand.
– Gently bounce the sponge over your face, blending the foundation. Use the pointed end for hard-to-reach areas like around the nose and eyes.
c. Foundation Brush:
– Use a clean foundation brush and dip it into the foundation on your hand.
– Apply the foundation in downward strokes, starting from the center of your face and blending outward. Use gentle, even strokes for a smooth finish.
6. Blend and Build:
Blend the foundation thoroughly to ensure there are no visible lines or streaks. Pay extra attention to areas that may need more coverage, such as blemishes or redness. If you need additional coverage, you can build up the foundation in thin layers.
7. Set with Powder (Optional):
If you have oily skin or want to set your foundation, you can lightly dust a translucent setting powder over your face using a makeup brush.
8. Finish with Setting Spray (Optional):
For a long-lasting finish and to meld your makeup together, you can finish with a setting spray.
9. Check and Touch Up:
Throughout the day, you can check your makeup and touch up as needed with a compact and blotting paper.
With these steps, you can achieve a smooth and natural-looking application of liquid foundation from Type Beauty. Remember that practice makes perfect, so don’t be discouraged if it takes a few tries to get your desired look.
