The Perfect Base Application

BASE APPLICATION


You will be able to properly apply base  in an even application without missing any area
 

Skin Condition
          Smooth youthful skin
  • Textured skin – aged or problem
  • Dry or oily

 Moisturizer
          Excellent for a smooth application
  • Necessary for dry skin
  • Good for removal of excess skin

Primer
         Used the same way as moisturizer
  • Mixes well with base to sheer it, making it thinner

Matching Base
  • Identify a base color that loosely resembles the skin tone
  • Apply a small amount on the neck
  • For heavier coverage you can add primer
  • For problem areas like under eyes “stipple” with base in that area
  • Sponges can be cut however you want
  • Powder puff – keep them in their bag

Powder – How to apply correctly
  • Tapping and rolling
  • Top of the face, working your way down
  • Eyelids are last

Powder makes the make up “bullet proof”. 

If you powder too heavy, spritz face, about 6-8 inches away and it will lighten the affect

Put the base on your palette with applicator to “warm it up” before applying to skin


To see if a base matches, put a dot on the neck.  Do not rub it.  It will match if you do.  Leave it, without rubbing and decide if it is the right color.
