If you apply your liquid foundation with a brush, where do you put the liquid before applying it to your face?

I mean, I know you don't dip the brush in the small hole in the bottle, so what do you put your foundation on before putting it on your face?If you apply your liquid foundation with a brush, where do you put the liquid before applying it to your face?
You can use the back of your hand. By your thumb.

Back of your hand... I think foundation sponge is better though..
I JUST USE MY FINGERS AND USE THE FOUNDATION RIGHT OUT OF THE BOTTLE
Put a small amount in your palm. It's best to dampen the foundation brush before you use it. Not wet, just barely damp. Then put your brush into the foundation in your palm and swirl around until you get the amount you need. Apply sparingly at first, then add to. Always brush down on your face, not up or across, except on your forehead. When finished, clean your brush, dampen very little and go over the whole thing. This will blend it all and look natural.
I pour a bit on my left hand and apply with my right.
You can use the back side of your hand (if it's clean), a clean paper plate/paper towel, or one side of a damp make-up sponge since you only end up using one side of it to finish blending your make-up anyway. Clean your foundation brush often of stock up on cheap ones that you don't mind disposing of.
i apply a little on my neck first
I dont think you can apply liquid foundation with a brush...
you pour a little on the back of your hand. or you can use a small plate.
The back of your hand is the best. Use a face primer first, ModelCo, MAC and Napoleon all have good ones, this makes your makeup glide on easier, apply it with your brush and this also helps the process. Start from the centre of your face and work outwards, this helps avoid tide marks around the jaw area

What do I put on my face before/after I put on liquid foundation?

Like moisterizer or something.


(It's my first time using makeup)What do I put on my face before/after I put on liquid foundation?
Okay, young grasshopper. (: haha justkidding,


okay so first you have to start off with clean hands and a clean face,


then since it is hotter these days, I'd suggest you put on a toner to make your face not as oily, if you don't have one of thsoe, drugstores sells a lot of cheap ones if you want, but it is not required to have it tho. After, you should moisturizer, no, YOU HAVE TO MOISTURIZE, if you don't, your face looks like a cakeface and YOU DONT WANT THAT. And also sometimes it just flakes and looks so ugly. And then after if you want you should put on a face primer, it makes your fuondationnnn stay longer, but that isn't required either. After that, you apply the liquid foundation,a nd after ALWAYS put a setting powder, any powder will do fine, even mineral powders or translucent powders.


It will just make your foundation stay put and it wont go all over your clothes. That is pretty much it, to take it off I'd suggest using your face cleanser then your toner because your face cleanser DOES NOT take all of your liquid foundaiton off, trust me. it doesn't at all.


Well goodluck honey . (:What do I put on my face before/after I put on liquid foundation?
Before putting on foundation---





Use a good moisturiser- it doesnt need to be expensive, i use the vaseline one.


Use a filler, I live in the UK and got mine from Superdrug- i am sure there are similar stores in other places in the world. A filler is just a clear liquid that you put on before using foundation or concealer. It fills the pores so that the make up does not go in. It is very good and stops you getting spots, dry skin. Also, the foundation goes on a lot easier. It is not expensive- mine cost around 拢5.





Also, when applying foundation- i use a foundation brush, it means the makeup goes on much easier and also the brush just puts a light brushing of foundation on which looks better and also is better for your skin.





When taking the make up off make sure you take it off fully and then re-moisturize again.
Before you apply foundation cleanse and tone your face to remove any dirt or previous makeup.


Alot of liquid foundations are moisturising as well so don't worry about a moisturiser but if it isn't moisturising then apply a moisturiser before you apply foundation.


When applying the foundation use a cosmetic sponge as this will help even out the foundation and not make it darker in areas . Make sure you don't leave a line around your chin so blend it in .


When you are ready to take your foundation off, use a mild face wash.


A cleanser is where you apply it onto your face and remove it with a pad whereas a face wash you remove it with water which is better for after wearing make up as the water will rinse out any excess foundation.





Use a face wash and rinse off with water, and then moisturise your face before you go to bed. Don't use a strong moisturiser if there is one in your foundation.





Hope this helps .
First, you should TRY (not all the time, only when you can) to cleanse your face before and after you use it. ALWAYS after, but only when you can before. Then, you want to moisturize your face, then apply the makeup. With liquid foundation you should probably apply it with a makeup square so you can spread it more evenly over the moisturizer. Then after, simply remove it and cleanse your face.
First, you need to put moisturizer to help moisturize your skin. Sometimes makeup can make our face dry





Second, put liquid foundation and apply it using hands, but I would suggesting you to use cosmetic sponge / wedges to help giving you the full coverage when you are applying it





Third, if you have dark circle or any place that you need to conceal, you probably will need to put on concealer to cover the imperfection's on your face





If you dont have any dark circle, you could just go on with applying face powder and finish off your makeup with your favourite lipstick color





Hope I helped
Before, you can put on mouisterizer if that's a part of your daily routine. If it is, you should wait at least 20-30 minutes before putting on liquid foundation so that your skin can absorb it. Otherwise, it'll absorb the foundation as well.


Also, you can use primer to create an even base for your makeup. For example:

or http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jh鈥?/a>


After, you can set your foundation with a pressed or loose powder, to reduce shine and make your makeup last longer.





Good luck!
i like to put on just a pea size amount of baby lotion on my face first then then the foundation, its amazing makes my face nice and soft when i take off the make up. :) hope it helped you a little bit
1.Moisturiser


2.Liquid foundation


3.Concealer


4.Powder
i put moisturiser on a freshly washed face then sunscreen (crucial to prevent premature aging of skin!) then my liquid foundation :)
Before: Moisturizer or sunscreen lotion or primer.


After: Powder (optional)
I usually end up beginning inexpensive and trying out tons products. Do what seems right and I bet your gut will be best.
Moisturise... Concealer

I use Almay Nearly Naked Liquid Foundation, bought bare naturale concealer -which one goes first?

I didn't like the idea of mineral foundation since my skin is combination and I thought it'd dry my skin. So Almay is pretty good. I didn't use the Bare Naturale Concealer yet ---- can you guys tell me which one do I apply first?I use Almay Nearly Naked Liquid Foundation, bought bare naturale concealer -which one goes first?
Most people use the concealer first,but you can do it last. I've found minerals are really good but dont recomend those on tv.





You can go back when you're through, %26amp; retouch your concealer also.I use Almay Nearly Naked Liquid Foundation, bought bare naturale concealer -which one goes first?
You can use the concealer first to cover dark under the eyes, freckles you don't like, breakouts or uneven color on your face. Let it set for a minute then apply your foundation. If you feel the concealer is too light or dark, you can mix it on top of your hand with the foundation to customize the color. If you ever see a product call foundation base, be sure to buy it because it goes on first and really works wonders for the complexion. Good luck!!

Best cheap ways to make liquid foundation darker?

I bought a Maybelline minerals foundation in Ivory.. In the shop it looked fine but when I got home and tried it on all over, I looked like a ghost :(





I don't want it going to waste.. so what could I add to it?


Thanks :)Best cheap ways to make liquid foundation darker?
either mix a darker foundation u might have lying around with it.


or get a darker powder foundation to put over the top.





xoxoBest cheap ways to make liquid foundation darker?
What I've done before is add the Rimmel fake tan make-up, to light foundation it helps the fake tan to blend in %26amp; give a natural colour then you can add either more of the tan or foundation to get the right shade.


%26amp; its only make up too so washes off!
use a lightly darker power over the top i have done that before to make my foundation match better good luck
Get another one somewhat darker, and mix it (:
another darker foundation or darker face powder to go over it

Whats the best way to go? mineral powdered make up or liquid foundation or pressed powder?

i like mineral powder the bestWhats the best way to go? mineral powdered make up or liquid foundation or pressed powder?
Definitely mineral powder


Whats the best way to go? mineral powdered make up or liquid foundation or pressed powder?
mineral powdered make up cause that does not turn your skin black or EYELIDS BLACK!
I love Bare Minerals...

  • What the best way to put on liquid foundation?

    what is the best way to put it on evenly without wasting it. i used the foam triangle things but it soaked all my make-up up. what should i use?What the best way to put on liquid foundation?
    maybe you should use a brush. that way it doesnt soak up all your foundationWhat the best way to put on liquid foundation?
    A brush, but it really depends on how much coverage you need. I have pretty moderate acne to cover up, and a foundation brush was just way too much coverage for me and I looked like a doll. So I now use just a blush brush with it and it looks sooo much nicer it just lightly brushes it on.
    A foundation brush with synthetic hair is the best thing for you. Synthetic hair doesn't absorb any of the product at all. Just squirt out a pump of your foundation, dip your brush in it, then dot the foundation around your face, then blend them all together. Good luck!
    I've had this problem too.


    Put on foundation first, unless you put on cover up. Do cover up first, then foundation. NO OTHER MAKEUP BEFORE!


    Or try using a brush. MAC has some good ones, but the foam triangles should work fine...


    Then apply powder, and eye makeup.


    (: I hope this helps!
    Use a makup brush for applying liquid foundation. MAC has a great one, expensive but worth it. Clean with shampoo after each use.


    Then BLOT the face with a kleenex and then apply powder.
    Your hands. Wash them before and after. Squirt a little into your hands and rub it in, if you need more then put some more on your hands.

    Is it ok to use the same brush for liquid foundation and powder?

    My mom bought me a really expensive liquid foundation brush and i never wear liquid foundation and powder at the same time but i kinda started to....so i was wondering if it is okay to use the brush for both? will it damage my brush or is it just not good mixing it? thank you =]Is it ok to use the same brush for liquid foundation and powder?
    you shoulbn't use a liquid foundation brush for powder. you will look streaky when you put it on. you need a powder brush they're like puffy.Is it ok to use the same brush for liquid foundation and powder?
    you can but i dont recommend it.


    the brush will get really cakey and icky really fast.


    unless you want to clean it out alot:)





    hope this helpes hun!


    but yea i wouldnt it might make your makeup look a little weird and patchy too.:/
    I was going to say nah before i read the details of your question.





    But if you never wear liquid foundation it should be fine, but expect some difficulties applying. Powder brushes are circular and poofy, and liquid brushes are thin with concentrated bristles.
    Your brush might get a little chunky from the buildup of the powder and the liquid foundation mixing it up. I would suggest using a separates brush for your powder, but if you like using the expensive brush for both or if it workds for you then just remember to wash it every week.
    its best not to use the same brush cause it will clog it up cause the powder will stick to the liquid. if you really wanted to you could do it, but you would have to put liquid on then powder and then wash your brush every day
    well considering they are two very different brushes....


    A liquid foundation brush is much smaller and more tightly formed into a flat smooth brush shape while a powder brush is big full and fluffly
