The inability to apply your foundation in the right way can ruin your look. Knowing how to apply your foundation properly on your face and neck is one skill that would make your look just right.
No matter how perfect your smokey eye has turned out or how pretty the colour of your lipstick is, it will all go to waste if your makeup looks cakey. Its time you found out where exactly you’re going wrong and how to fix your common foundation application mistakes.
1.Using your fingers
This may seem like the fastest way to apply foundation, but using your fingers leaves harsh lines on the skin. This method of application makes your base makeup look blotchy. Instead, use a damp beauty blender or a brush for a more even and seamless finish.
2. Not applying on your neck
If you’re using a full coverage foundation, be sure that you apply some on your neck as well. Because your neck is usually slightly lighter than your face, not blending the foundation down your neck creates an obvious demarcation between the colour of your face and neck.

3. Applying your foundation immediately after your moisturiser
If you want to avoid a streak-free application, it is important to wait for a little while for your moisturizer to dry on your face before applying your foundation. This will make the foundation stick to your skin better and make it look more natural.
4. Using the wrong formula
If you have oily skin, a powder foundation may seem like a smart choice, but it is not always so. Powder foundations dry out the skin, look chalky, settle into wrinkles, and look unnatural in pictures. If you are worried about oily skin, use a matte foundation to eliminate extra shine from your face. But don’t forget to use a compact powder at the end to keep your makeup in place.
