It’s time to banish caked-on, chalky or otherwise unfit foundation.
We’ve got the 411 on finding a formula that will give you natural
coverage—period—and tips on the right way to apply it.
Tone down the oil by using an oil-free formula as your foundation.
Not only will it create a counter balance, it will also leave your skin
looking refreshed and renewed.
Our application tip:
Ditch the hand app as oil and residue can transfer onto your face.
Instead, use a clean makeup sponge to dab on your foundation.
Zits and blemishes getting you down? Rather than caking on multiple
layers of foundation, find a skin-clearing makeup to help fight the
battle. Resisting acne while giving you coverage- now that’s a win-win
situation.

Our application tip: A
dab will do ya. Don’t overwhelm your skin with massive amounts of
foundation. Blot dots around your face to create evenness and then
blend.
For those of you lucky enough to have naturally normal and balanced
skin, pick a long-wearing formula with SPF to keep it that way (you may
want to invest a bit—nothing like using cheap makeup to mess up good
skin!). Foundation in small batches can help even out your skin tone and
little inconsistencies. Try just dabbing it on blemishes instead of
covering your whole face. Make sure to pick the right shade to ensure it
enhances (not overpowers) your already-beautiful skin.
