Yeah it is a good idea to apply a base like moisturizer, before your foundation. 1) it helps for your foundation to glide on easier, and stay on longer. 2) it moisturizes your skin!
or u might wanna try using a tinted moisturizer... some ppl find it looking more natural than foundation
is using face cleanser the best way to wash of foundation?? I been using face cleanser whenever i put on foundation but don't know if it completely wash of everything =/
u should cleanse ur face twice!!! first time to wash off the makeup... 2nd cleanse to wach the skin properly... that's how we've been taught at the salon... but i always use a makeup remover before i cleanse...
i suppose not ... but i do it most of the time hahahahaha... coz i use a very very mild n gentle cleanser... i feel better when i cleanse twice...
oh one more thing i forgot to mention... u need to remove the cleanser with a cleansing sponge or mits... dun just splash with water... it only looks good on tv ads... u don't c that in porfessional salons...
well yeah cause its like paintin ur face on lol u need a decent canvas to put it on also makes it stay longer & not look like crap =P
foundation should probably be the last thing you put on your face. (well that's how it is for me anyway). i cleanse and moisturize my face first. but if you want to be convenient, you should try using tinted moisturizer. maybe from stila or laura mercier. a good drugstore brand is covergirl. =)
^^well...unless u do the eye makeup...then u have to put foundation on first... @Dawn: OmG...its really cold here too...so the makeup litterally cracks on gurls faces in the winter....
Whenever I put on foundation, I usually moistuize my skin before. I use a powder foundation and before I put that on, I put a face primer on my skin. This helps to even out your skin and if you have wrinkles, helps to smooth them out before applying the powder. I am using Bare Escentuals at the moment and it is pretty amazing!
I always put on a layer of moisturizer first because I have dry skin. get one that suits your skin type.
i always use toner, then a moisturizer, and finally a powdery foundation from sheisido that contains spf15. you should always use a foundation or moisturizer that has SPF in it - it is highly recommended that you do. and yes...evidently you have to cleanse out all your makeup before you go to bed.
u could always use tinted moisturizers if u dun wanna put moisturizers b4 foundation. Its better for the skin too! Some comes in with SPF, moisturizers & foundation all in one.
i used to apply moisterizer first but then applying so much liquid onto my face makes it so oily.. now i just slap the foundation on LOL.. that's probs why it looks so crap -.-.. oh well,, just what i do.. don't listen to me, i'm no makeup expert hahaa~~
