But know that for a natural complexion, there is nothing better than a liquid foundation that gives a healthy glow and avoids the effect of a mask. On the other hand, if you’ve had a heavy hand on the foundation, there’s no need to panic! Arm yourself with a setting spray and restore your makeup.
- preliminary foundation : If you use a compact foundation, it is recommended to apply a little on the back of the hand and work with a sponge before application. This softens the material for easier application. Start by applying to the forehead, then to the cheeks and chin. Pro Tip: Feel free to apply it on your eyelids for better hold.
