Who doesn’t love a flawless base? However, it can be difficult to achieve that perfect desired finish. You
must have tried tons of techniques and products to achieve but still keep missing the right spot but not
anymore!, we have brought to you a few tips and tricks to create a beautiful canvas for your makeup that
will allow you to feel confident, and get the same look over and over. So let’s begin.
Prepping the Skin; The First Step in the Right Direction
Achieving a perfect base starts with creating a smooth surface for products to apply on, and for that, you
need to cleanse your face beforehand to remove any impurities, i.e., dirt, dust, oil, etc. Cleansing skin
will allow products to perform as it should. Do not forget to use a toner after cleansing to balance your
skin’s pH levels, as it will tighten your pores and make your face look smoother and well-prepared for the
next moisturizing step.
Moisturise To Plump Up Your Skin
The second step towards achieving that flawless base is moisturizing the already cleansed and toned
face, and yes, do not forget your neck. Opt for a moisturizer that suits your skin type, i.e., a lightweight
and oil-free moisturizer in case of oily skin and a heavier and nourishing formula for dry skin. Each step
will add a certain level of smoothness to your skin, making the foundation glide across your face to give a
more effortless look, and who doesn’t want it?
Use A Primer; The Last Step In Skin Preparation
Priming your face with a face primer is the last step before you put foundation on your face. The main
purpose of using a primer is to smooth out the uneven texture, fill in pores and soften the fine lines so
the makeup application will become easier. The catch here is to choose a primer while keeping your skin
type and pigmentation in mind. For example, if you have acne-prone skin, then going for a
colour-correcting primer will be the best option as it will cancel out the pigmentation while prepping
your skin for foundation application, and if you have normal skin with less to no pigmentation, then
going for a hydrating primer is a great option. How about trying our Pore-U Primer?.
Choosing The Right Foundation Is Half The Battle
Picking the right shade of foundation is crucial in achieving a flawless base. Identify your undertone, i.e.,
is it warmer or cooler? And then, opt for a foundation keeping in mind the kind of coverage you need.
Going for an oil-free formula is an excellent option for oily acne-prone skin. Similarly, if you want your
skin to breathe, use a lightweight formula. Now apply the foundation on a brush or sponge, depending
on your comfort, and blend well to create the most natural-looking finish. We have Velvet Power Matte
foundation and Hydramatic Flawless foundation which gives you a desired look with 0 effort 100%
perfect product.
Conceal To Hide Or Define Any Feature
Concealer is an excellent way to hide any imperfection you are not comfortable with, e.g., blemishes,
redness, dark circles, acne spots, pigmentation, etc. For that purpose, you must use the same concealer
colour as your skin after canceling the colour. However, concealer can be used to highlight different
contours or features of our face, e.g., under the eyes, below the cheekbones, on the tip of the nose, etc.,
to mention a few options and to achieve that is supposed to use a lighter shade of concealer but make
sure the undertone still matches with your original complexion. We have a wide range of shades and
amazing two formulas for you to pick your perfect match.
Set With Power To Keep The Makeup In Place
Set your makeup with the Cloud Touch loose powder choosing the shade that matches your makeup
needs. Be it loose power or the OG face compact, to make the makeup last longer. You can apply some
extra powder to the places where you sweat more or get oily quickly and do not forget to dust off the
excess if you choose to bake.
Finish With A Setting Spray, The Last Step In Making That Flawless Foundation Look Flawless For A Longer Period
Use the setting spray to keep everything you have applied in place for hours. There are two types of
setting sprays, the hydrating ones with a dewy finish and the matte ones. Choose according to your skin
type and the desirable makeup look, spray it all over your face in “X” and “T” shapes and voila! You are
good to go anywhere with your flawless makeup. Enjoy!
