Different textures of foundation will give different skin effects. For those with dull, dehydrated or dry skin, try a glow finish or radiant foundation, such as Luminous Silk, Neo Nude, Designer Lift or Crema Nuda. If you have oily skin or looking to refine the appearance of pores and texture, try a matte finish like Power Fabric or Maestro Fusion.

Foundation, whether liquid, cream, or powder, is designed to even out the tone of skin, creating a blank canvas to create the rest of your makeup look.

It’s best to apply many thin layers of foundation, rather than thick layers. Thin layers dry quicker and make your foundation longer lasting. To build coverage, start with a single pump of foundation. Load your Blender Brush with a small amount of product and apply a thin layer from the center of face and brush outwards. Continue this process of thin layers until you reach your desired level of coverage.
