For the longest time, foundations were used solely to conceal and hide the imperfections of our face. Likewise, most people think that this is the only base that should be applied on our face.
Applying the base in your face is very important. Our face is our canvass and a canvass must feel and look clean and smooth. Hence, we should hide all the flaws on our face. Make-up applied on our face without a perfect base will look messy.So here are the the steps in achieving the perfect base for your face.
1. MOISTURIZER: For some of us, putting moisturizers on our face is part of our daily facial routine.Perhaps, applying moisturizer cream is also a must-do for our make-up routine.

WHAT TO USE: You can find a number of moisturizers in the market.You just have to find the right product that would work best in your face. Also, some cosmetic line such as MAC and ELF have their own moisturizer brand. Yet, I shall say that any moisturizer of your choice would do.
Just in case you are still not decided what brand of moisturizer to use, I recommend Olay Total Effects because it works as a moisturizer, a UV cream and an anti-aging cream.
WHERE TO APPLY: Moisturizer,Primer and Foundation must be applied all around your face up to your neck. This will make the base of your make-up to look more natural.
2. PRIMER: The purpose of primer is to maintain your make-up for longer hours.

Don’t fret about the oiliness on your skin because some cosmetic brands had already revolutionized an oil control liquid foundation. Also, you’ll put a setting powder at the end of this tutorials. So you don’t have to be afraid on using liquid foundation.

WHERE TO APPLY: Apply equal amount under your eyes and in on your eye lids. Putting concealer on your eyelids will serve as a base for your eye shadow. Also,put concealer on your nose,since the nose tends to become red.
