    you should moisturize before applying foundation.

    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!

    some people use, some people don't.

    Myself, I used moisturiser underneath my foundation
     
  4. or u might wanna try using a tinted moisturizer... some ppl find it looking more natural than foundation

  6. 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... :)

    so if u use a make up remover then face cleanser, you don't have to wash your face twice right? =x
     
  8. 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...
     
  9. 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...

    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. =)

    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.

    moisturize your face before your foundation.
    and always remove your makeup fully before you sleep!

    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.
