Again, the heat of your hands sets and blots simultaneously. This gets rid of excess slime so it doesn't look cake-y throughout the wear. Press your palms onto your makeup'ed face and sort of roll them to blot and wick off excess makeup on top. Here's a trick I learned from pal and makeup artist Katie Jane Hughes (Hi Katie!).
Now for a crucial step - wash your hands again and make sure they are dry.If that's not enough coverage for you, dot again and go.
Keep going until the foundation is invisible. Starting from the center of your face and moving outwards, blend with the pads of your fingers, patting and rubbing into your face-folds as you see fit.Now rub your hands together like you're trying to start a fire or you're a villain theatrically making an evil plan. Squirt (or pump, I don't know your life) a drop of foundation on the back of your hand, and dot it around your cheeks, forehead, and nose with your finger.First things first - make sure your hands are clean.It may feel wrong at first, rubbing in foundation as you would moisturizer, but the key is to start small and build. I'm sorry but silicone sponges are just something I cannot get behind - try as I might (and I have tried many a time with many different products) I feel like I'm trying to apply foundation with a squeegee and it's just a real bad streaky scene. Foundation drops are a great invention however not all of them play nicely with all moisturizers/sunscreens and separate or pill in an odd unpleasant way.
(I'm trying to think of a clever metaphor for this and the only thing I can think of is that pottery-throwing scene from Ghost and that might be a bit extra, but you get what I mean, hopefully.)Īt first when cushion compacts burst onto the scene I was stoked - finally a convenient way to get that natural undetectable finish! But alas, cushion compacts - while worthy of many virtues - are still like using a tiny Tempur-Pedic mattress to apply foundation.
#Applying makeup with sponge skin#
My kingdom for a makeup product with the coverage of a buildable foundation but the feel of a skin tint - that's all I want, truly.
