Foundation and Colour Correction
Before applying any makeup to the face, make sure you’ve cleansed it, so you begin with a fresh, clean canvas. Then, you can start adding definition and colour.
Conceal
What does concealer do?
It diminishes the appearance of dark circles, covers broken capillaries, blemishes, and facial redness, brightens the eye area, and helps eye shadow last longer.
How to apply:
Lightly apply with a clean ring finger, product applicator, or disposable wedge sponge
For eyelid discolouration, apply dots of concealer starting from the inner corner of the eye and gently blend the dots to the outer corner of the eye
For dark under-eye circles, start at the inner eye corner and work outward toward the iris. Apply dots of concealer or colour corrector under eye using a clean ring finger or a disposable wedge
Foundation
What does foundation do?
It evens out skin tone, gives a soft touch of colour, protects the skin from the environment, and gives a more flawless appearance.
How to apply:
Choose a shade of foundation to match the colour of skin at your jawline
Apply dots of foundation to your forehead, nose, chin, and cheeks with clean fingers or a disposable cosmetic sponge
Blend outward and downward from the centre of your face to the edge
Blend well at the hairline and the jawline
Powder (optional)
What does powder do?
It sets foundation, evens out skin tone, and helps makeup last longer.
How to apply:
Apply a light application of translucent powder over face with a clean cotton ball
Gently dust downward and outward to remove excess powder and smooth facial hair
