Pre-makeup Preparation
Skincare: After applying toner, lotion, and serum, wait 3 minutes for full absorption. If the skin feels tacky, gently blot with a tissue to remove excess oil and prevent the product from pilling later.
Skin Type Suitability: For dry skin, mix with a hydrating serum to improve adherence; for oily skin, pair with an oil-control primer. Apply a thin layer, avoiding the immediate eye area, and allow it to set.
Dispensing the Product
Dispensing Method: Use a sanitized spatula to scoop out a pea-sized amount of cream foundation. Blend it on the back of your hand before applying to your face to avoid applying too much product in one spot.
Detailing: Blend outwards from the center of the face toward the edges. Use the residual product on the applicator to gently press over detailed areas like the eye contours and the sides of the nose.
Application Techniques by Tool
Using a Makeup Sponge: Dampen the sponge and wring it out thoroughly. Apply using a gentle patting and pressing motion; press vertically and lightly over detailed areas to blur pores.
Using a Foundation Brush: Dampen the brush, wring it out, and blot dry with a tissue. Spread the product at a 45-degree downward angle following the direction of the pores, then use the tip of the bristles to vertically work the product into areas with visible pores, such as the sides of the nose and eye contours.
Using Fingers: Warm the product with your fingertips before picking it up. Apply first to areas with large pores to fill in imperfections, blend outwards in a single direction, and finish by gently patting with your fingertips for an even finish.
