HOW TO APPLY FOUNDATION

Foundation provides the base for entire makeup. Therefore applying foundation in itself is a very tricky job, which if not done properly could give you the look of a clown. After all the main objective of foundation is to make your skin look naturally gorgeous and not to change its color. The right and proper use of foundation could help you hide the roughness of your skin such as spots, scars, pimples, blemishes and other irritated areas.

It is totally your decision, what type of look you want to achieve. Then accordingly the foundations can offer sheer to heavy coverage and finishes to you that range from satiny to matte.

Applying Foundation

* First of all you should cleanse and moisturize the face and let the moisturizer be absorbed. Doing so keeps the foundation on top of the skin.
* While applying the liquid or cream foundations dot the foundation sparingly on one side of the face first and blend well with makeup sponge.
* You should start applying and blending the foundation from the eyes and T-zone outwards.
* Then working from the top of the face downward, to create a smooth, even finish, repeat the same procedure on the other side of the face.
* If it is powder foundation then you should set it by dipping a brush into the powder and going over the face in circular strokes.
* Prior to setting the foundation with a loose powder, you should make sure that there are no 'creases ' in the base, usually round the eyes or mouth. If there are any then smooth them out with the help of makeup sponge.
* You should apply the powder by gently pressing it into the skin. And while applying it, be liberal with it and concentrate on the eyes and creases around the nostrils.
* Make sure that you blend the foundation well and do not forget to bring it down over your jawbone onto your neck, on the ear lobes and also into your hairline.
* You should pay special attention to the corners of the nose and corners of the mouth as well as areas over and under the eyes.
* In order to retouch a particular spot or scar you should re-apply lightly and then blend.
* Then, using a large powder brush, smudge off or dust off the excess powder along face line with a puff.
* Once the foundation is applied then it is time to set it with a light dusting of powder. Lightly powder with a translucent powder to set your foundation.

Skin MD Natural turns the outer layer of skin into what works like an invisible pair of gloves to keep the skin's own natural moisture in and the moisture robbing elements and irritants out. It was especially formulated for the face but our first 1000 test subjects and customers convinced us it was also an outstanding body and hand lotion.

Skin MD Natural has the most full and transparent disclosure of actual ingredients in the skin care industry, and we are currently serializing these on our Facebook page.

Skin MD Natural is an alternative to conventional moisturizing lotions and protective creams. Conventional lotions only attempt to replace natural moisture with artificial moisture but they don't really work because they constantly come off and must be frequently reapplied. They also send the wrong message to your skin that it is being adequately moisturized when it is not.

Skin MD Natural also has a fantastic new humectant (an ingredient that pulls in moisture from the air). Skin MD Natural's humectant pulls in 6 times the amount of moisture than the best humectant that was available prior to our introduction.

Skin MD Natural is also vital for those people who work with their hands who know they should be wearing gloves but do not or cannot or, gloves cause them skin irritation. If you know you should be wearing gloves but are not - at least apply Skin MD Natural. Here is a video that may be of interest to you. It shows Skin MD Natural protecting skin from rock-dissolving acid.

Many hundreds of articles have been published about Skin MD Natural. To view some of these feel free to Google "Skin MD Natural".

Shielding lotions, like Skin MD Natural, have also been prominently featured on the National Skin Care Institute's web site.
