By Tom Perry

For many women, they often use cosmetic foundation in an incorrect manner, giving them a heavily made up look that is in no way natural. Most people agree, that unless you're on television, or having pictures taken, that a more natural look is desirable.

Your choice of cosmetic foundation is a big one, you need an exact match for your skin tones. If you don't get the correct color, it doesn't really matter how you apply it or how much you apply, it's not going to look right. This means that if you are not completely comfortable with colors schemes that you look for a professional to help you choose the correct foundation.

Remember, there are plenty of different brands, colors and types of foundation, so try to talk to the professionals who are experts in their particular line of cosmetics.

Once you have the right foundation, it won't be difficult to apply, after all, it actually matches your skin tone. You'll want to start with skin that has been freshly cleaned, and according to your skin site, you might want to apply a moisturizer as well. If you start with skin that is not clean, it can actually cause bacteria to become caught in your pores and cause acne.

So take your time, make sure you're applying foundation to very clean skin, a if you need acne medication or moisturizer, let that sit for a few minutes before you apply your foundation.

you'll then start dabbing a small amount of foundation, remember, you can always add more later. Dab a bit on your cheeks, your forehead, and on your chin. You'll need to spread your foundation rather quickly, it normally will dry to a matte or somewhat powdery finish, and it doesn't take long for this to happen. So spread quickly so it gets uniformly spread all over your face.

You need to spread outward, in other words, spread from your cheeks outwards, your forehead upwards, and your chin down through your throat. By blending carefully, you can avoid those foundation lines seen on most women.

One thing to be aware of, often when you've seen makeup lines on a woman's face, it's because she's applying it in unnatural light. It's vital that you have as natural a lighting as possible in your makeup application area. Otherwise, you're going to have lines.

Remember that spreading the foundation into your throat, neck and hairline will help keep a solid line from forming. Make sure that you don't have visible foundation in your hairline, and that the line slowly but surely disappears.

By choosing the correct foundation for your skin type and your skin tone, and applying it correctly, you're foundation will even out skin tones, control oil, and give you a beautiful appearance. - 30292
