makeup products the real secret to achieving a Flawless long-lasting look is in the prep work you do on your skin before you start applying your makeup one thing to keep in mind before putting on your makeup is to keep your skincare routine as minimal as possible applying too much heavy skincare can make your skin greasy which could then cause your foundation to not stick properly to your skin so less is definitely more when it comes to skin care before makeup before you go ahead and apply your foundation the very first thing you should do is figure out your skin type if you're not quite sure what your skin type is don't worry a quick Google search can help you find out this is important because our individual skin type can have a huge impact on the types of products and makeup techniques that work best for you no matter what your skin type is all you need is two skin care products before applying makeup if you have oily skin just use a refreshing toner followed by a lightweight moisturizer for combination skin use a toner and a slightly more hydrating moisturizer for dry skin you can use a toner with a rich moisturizer or lotion and if your skin is extremely dry you can apply two to three layers of toner to hydrate your skin if you always experience extensive flakiness caking and peeling when applying foundation you can use a heavier moisturizer on the affected areas before applying makeup typically these areas are around the forehead nose mouth and laugh lines massage the Moisturizer in circular motions for a few minutes and then wipe off the excess dead skin cells and oils using a damp cotton pad that is soaked with your toner this technique works like a charm for people with dry combination skin type once you've applied your skin care give it about 5 to 10 minutes to be fully absorbed into your skin when you touch your face with your fingers you should feel that your skin is plump and well hydrated with a slightly tacky feel like it's had a good drink of water this is the perfect condition for applying makeup and your foundation will stay put on your skin while it can be tempting to apply a sheet mask right before applying your makeup it is not recommended if you have an upcoming big event or special occasion that requires a Flawless makeup look a better option would be to perform a deep cleansing followed by a skincare mask and lotion the night before this will ensure that your makeup stays put on your skin throughout the day if you're struggling with fine lines under your eyes that crack through your foundation it's recommended to use a light non-pilling eye cream and apply only a small amount second sunscreen product selection and application sunscreen should be the last step of a skincare routine and the first step of makeup issues such as pilling and white casts that appear after applying sunscreen are usually caused by incorrect application techniques or using unsuitable products before applying sunscreen you have to make sure the skin care products are completely absorbed and touched dry select sunscreen which is suitable for your skin type to ensure the effectiveness of your sunscreen it's recommended to apply two lines of sunscreen directly onto your index and middle fingers using too little sunscreen can reduce its Effectiveness but applying the entire amount on the face at once can cause white patches and pilling the correct way should be applying half of the amount evenly over the face gently Pat it onto your face in One Direction avoiding vigorous rubbing or circular motions especially if the sunscreen has a thicker or heavier texture use your fingertips to lightly Pat the sunscreen all over your face then for the remaining half of the amount apply a second layer over the nose cheeks and other oily areas of your skin don't forget to apply sunscreen to the corners of your mouth hairline and jawline and don't be afraid to apply a little extra to your neck remember to wait for three to ten minutes to allow time for the sunscreen to sink into the skin properly next primer is a makeup primer really necessary well it's not but it will enhance the longevity of your makeup or improve skin texture there are several types of primers available including color correcting primers hydrating primers Well Control primers and silicone-based primers color correcting primers come in two types tinted primers and Prime color correctors Prime color correctors commonly used are purple and green the purple Hue helps to even out dull yellow skin tones while the green Hue neutralizes red patches tinted primer help to brighten up your overall skin tone if your skin is already well hydrated and moisturized during your pre-makeup skincare routine you can skip using a hydrating primer altogether for those with oily skin the oil control primer is your best friend this type of primer will give your skin a natural matte finish it's recommended to only apply the primer to the areas that tend to get greasy easily such as the nose forehead and Chin silicones and primers can help to blur out imperfections on your face fill in fine lines and wrinkles and reduce the appearance of pores this creates a clean base for your makeup allowing it to be applied more evenly and look better overall remember that you don't need to apply this type of primer all over your face if you want your skin to look smooth overall you can apply a thin layer to your T-Zone and areas with larger pores smooth it along the direction of your pores in areas where your pores are more visible using too much is unnecessary as it will cause pilling of your base if you have different skin concerns in different areas of your face for example your T-Zone is oily and your cheeks are dry you can use different primers with different functions for each area for areas with large pores such as the T-Zone and nose veins you can use a silicone-based primer for dry areas you should use hydrating primers to prevent flaking and Fine Lines to prevent the foundation from budging on your skin avoid applying too much product and rubbing or patting it in vigorously remember to apply the primer in One Direction only all these can make your foundation look dead white heavy and oily looking if your skin doesn't have any of the concerns mentioned earlier feel free to skip the primer have you ever pondered the best order of applying foundation and concealer rest assured that you're not alone this has been a topic of discussion among many makeup enthusiasts and even on the Chinese appsial hongshu well there's no right or wrong answer to that only the best technique that works for your skin however most of the tutorials we came across on see how hung Shu recommend applying concealer before foundation this technique is useful to cover up large patchy blemishes such as dark circles discolorations or rashes by applying concealer before foundation you can even out the uneven skin tone of blemishes color correcting concealers are often used to neutralize the pigmentation of these blemishes which means less Foundation is needed afterward this creates a more natural looking finish in the end on the flip side while Prime color corrector concealers are pretty popular in the western beauty World but they are less recommended by the Chinese beauty gurus this is because these concealers are highly saturated and pigmented which can make it challenging for makeup beginners to use them hence the liquid or cream concealer with Shades close to your skin tone is the best option if you're a newbie or you have less blemishes to conceal in conclusion to know if concealer should come before or after Foundation the color of concealer and the type of blemishes should be taken into consideration concealer with shade close to skin tone should be used after Foundation blemishes appear in larger areas with discoloration should be color corrected before foundation the application technique plays a crucial role in concealing blemishes as using the wrong technique can result in ineffective coverage and the product easily falling off first if you're using a concealer palette pick a shade slightly darker than your actual skin tone warm it up by rubbing it in circular motions using your fingertips this will help to create a creamy texture next swipe the concealer onto the back of your hand then use a concealer buffer brush to apply the concealer onto your skin before applying it directly onto your skin brush it onto the back of your hand to ensure that the brush has an even amount of concealer on it tap the brush onto the acne marks vertically then blend out the edges of the concealers remember never blend out the center of your concealed areas if you do your brush will just smudge off the concealer that you've applied to your blemishes and you won't get full coverage so be careful not only that if you dip your brush directly into the concealer palette you'll pick up too much product and it will look heavy and Cakey on your face which can lead to caking this way of applying concealer will give a more natural looking finish without any visible brush Strokes on the face for dark eye circles warm up the peach shade on the palette and dab a thin layer of concealer underneath your under eye with fingertips or flat concealer brush dab out the concealer in One Direction both below and above the concealed region then Pat it out lightly with a wet cushioned sponge to blend into your skin better see the difference the dark pigmentation has been neutralized and now all you can continue with the following steps of your makeup routine do you still notice your dark circles and tear grooves even after applying foundation don't worry you can further conceal them with a simple spot concealing technique after applying your foundation use a concealer shade slightly lighter than your foundation shade to highlight the tear Groove area Beneath Your Eyes take a flat concealer brush and apply a tiny amount of product directly to the groove let it set for about 10 to 20 seconds before using a tissue to clean off any excess product on the brush then gently dab and blend the concealer into the base for an even finish if your tear grooves are not very noticeable you can certainly skip this step for those who conceal before applying foundation it is best to set the concealed areas with a coat of setting spray this extra step can help the concealer to stay put on the blemished areas when Foundation is applied later on the other hand small blemishes such as pimples bumps or acne scars can be dealt with after applying foundation after applying your foundation get a high coverage liquid concealer that is close to your foundation shade gently dab the concealer onto the bump of your acne with slight pressure to ensure that the entire area is fully covered allow it to sit for 30 seconds to dry then get an angled concealer brush to blend out the edges without touching the center of the concealed area at this point your acne is mostly covered but you may still notice some bumpy texture from a distance to address this apply finishing powder with a puff sponge again do not pull or rub the puff sponge just tap on your skin and lift it the matte finish of the powder can help to reduce the appearance of the bumpy texture making it less noticeable however it is impossible for a bumpy pimple to be completely concealed so we should only aim for a natural and clean makeup look overall whether you're a beginner or a makeup Enthusiast Foundation is an essential step in creating a Flawless and long lasting base for your makeup it not only evens out your skin tone but also provides a smooth canvas for the rest of your makeup there are a couple of common mistakes that many people make when it comes to applying foundation the first one is pumping the foundation directly onto their faces or applying a big dollop in one go onto a certain area of the face and then blending it out with a beauty blender this method makes it hard to control the amount of foundation used and it's easy to go overboard with it and ruin your makeup moreover half of the foundation gets soaked up by the beauty blender so it's best to avoid applying too much at once or putting the entire amount on a particular skin area the other mistake is pumping the foundation onto the beauty blender before applying it to your face which can also lead to an uneven and heavy application instead start by dispensing the foundation onto the back of your hand and spreading it out to check the amount before we dive into the application process it's important to note that many beauty gurus on xiaohangshu emphasize the importance of applying foundation in sections it's best to avoid applying the foundation all over your face at once and instead focus on smaller areas to ensure an even and natural looking finish foundations with dryer and quicker setting formulas tend to set on your skin faster than other formulas if you apply the foundation all over your face first it may dry out before you get a chance to blend it out resulting in Apache and uneven finish the correct method to apply is to use your fingers to dab the product onto your face in sections for your cheeks use your fingertip to gently dab the foundation from the outer corner of your eyes towards the mouth corner start with a thin layer of foundation in the center of your face and blend it outwards each dab should be light to create an even and thin layer of foundation across your entire face this technique is recommended because the skin tone is generally lighter near the mid face and gets darker towards the sides next take a damp cushion sponge or beauty blender remember to dampen your makeup sponge as it aids in smoother product application resulting in an even streak free finish this technique is particularly beneficial for those with dry skin as brushes can leave flakes on the surface but the added moisture from a damp sponge can be helpful however be cautious not to use too much water as it may dilute the product and affect its texture remember to wring out the sponge well after it has fully expanded to ensure proper application then Pat the makeup sponge in a vertical padding motion onto your skin you can apply slight pressure while petting so you're beating the foundation evenly onto your skin avoid swiping or pulling the sponge across your face as this can negatively impact the Finish by patting the foundation onto your skin you'll allow the foundation to blend seamlessly into your skin if you have already applied concealer to certain areas of your cheeks you'll need to be extra gentle when applying foundation to these areas just apply a light layer of foundation on the areas where you have concealed and avoid dragging or pulling the sponge back and forth your goal is to even out your skin tone since you have already applied the color correcting concealer earlier to even out the skin tone around the iron area simply use the leftover foundation on the back of your hand and apply a thin layer be gentle while doing so as the skin around the eyes is delicate and it creases easily if too much product is applied the forehead nose tip and nose wings are areas that typically have larger pores it's best to apply your foundation against the direction of your pores to create a smoother more even look to apply to the forehead a nose Bridge start by swiping a thin layer of foundation in a downward motion for the nose Wings gently dab the foundation in a circular motion to blend it evenly into the skin this technique will help to create a Flawless finish and minimize the appearance of pores again Pat it out with a damped makeup sponge and vertical padding motion remember not to wipe or swipe while applying and voila you've achieved a clean smooth natural looking base with minimized pores to get the perfect amount of product from your cushion Foundation position your fingers at the center of the pot this will ensure that the puff picks up just the right amount of foundation from the cushion avoid placing your fingers too far forward as this can result in wastage and cause your base to appear cakey with too much product applied then remove any excess product by tapping the puff on the lid this step is important because taking too much product on the puff can make your base look heavier and Cakey next dab the foundation onto the center region of the outer eye corner and your mouth corner and blend it out over your cheeks using a vertical petting motion this technique is a game changer for anyone who struggles with creasing and cracking around the cheeks under eyes and nose region the key is to avoid applying too much product directly to these areas which can make your pores look more noticeable and cause your base to crack for extra coverage on blemishes dip the puff back into the cushion and gently Pat the foundation onto these areas finally blend everything seamlessly by quickly patting the entire area this will help you achieve a porcelain like finish that looks Flawless and natural if you're worried about larger pores a good technique is to dab your finger on the cushion to pick up some Foundation then swipe it evenly onto the areas of your skin with larger pores and gently Pat it out to blend it in seamlessly this method will help minimize the appearance of pores and create a smoother more even finish when it comes to picking the right foundation finish it really depends on personal preference Some people prefer a matte finish While others prefer a dewy look however if you have more skin blemishes larger pores or oily slash combination skin a dewy finish may not be the best option for you the glow from a dewy finish can actually make your blemishes more noticeable in this case a foundation with a matte finish would be more suitable finally we are moving to the last

place and prevent it from smudging or transferring throughout the day to achieve the best results hold the makeup setting spray bottle approximately six to eight inches away from your face this
