Foundation evens out skin tone, conceals imperfections, and provides the foundation for an incredible look. It is a classic cosmetic product that no makeup look can be complete without. With this in mind, it's not surprising that beauty lovers are trying to improve the product and the way it's applied, but not all life hacks are really worthwhile.
To save you from wasting time on experiments, famous makeup artist Shadi Malek shared her thoughts on some of them. Applying powder before foundation This life hack suggests changing the usual order of applying cosmetics. According to this tip, to get a flawless finish, you should first moisturize your skin, then apply a translucent powder, spray it with a setting spray, apply a primer, and only then use foundation.
However, Malek says that even though it looks good online, it's unlikely that this method will be as effective in real life. Therefore, the makeup artist does not recommend using this life hack. Applying foundation with your fingers The essence of the life hack is that we are offered to use just our fingers instead of brushes and sponges for makeup.
That is, literally applying foundation like a moisturizer. Malek said that this method works, but it is rather unhygienic, so she usually chooses a clean, high-quality brush. However, if you are more comfortable applying the foundation with your hands, wash or disinfect them well first.
Applying setting spray before powder Setting spray has long been used as a means to improv.
