A good foundation routine usually consists of several steps to ensure a flawless and long-lasting foundation for your makeup. Here is a suggested foundation routine:
1. Cleanse and Moisturize: Start by cleansing your face to remove any dirt, oil, or makeup residue. Follow up with a moisturizer suitable for your skin type. Allow the moisturizer to absorb fully before moving on to the next step.
2. Primer: Apply a thin layer of primer all over your face. This helps to create a smooth surface for foundation application, minimize the appearance of pores, and extend the wear of your makeup.
3. Color Correction (Optional): Use color-correcting products if you have any areas of discoloration or redness on your face. To counteract dark circles or hyperpigmentation, use a green color corrector or a peach/salmon color corrector.
4. Foundation: Select a foundation that is appropriate for your skin tone and type. It can be applied with a makeup brush, a sponge, or your fingertips. Begin at the center of your face and blend outward, concentrating on areas that require more coverage. For a more natural look, blend the foundation into your neck and hairline.
