Vary the Effects of Your Liquid Foundation With Just Two Tools!

Change the tool--and change your look!

Our complexions change periodically due to the seasons or what’s going on internally in our bodies.  As a result, the look we are trying to achieve from our foundation might some thought to meet the new demands of our face.  Instead of replacing a current foundation, altering our makeup tools can often do the same thing.

For instance, a sponge or beauty blender is what you need to create a sheer look.  Being porous, the sponge, however, sucks up more foundation than your fingers or a brush unlike a beauty blender, which absorbs less. Therefore, lightly dab that loaded sponge or blender and press the foundation into the skin slowly until you get the desired coverage.  Blotting gives you better control of the foundation that you’re laying down. The technique is also much better than using a sweeping motion with your sponge, which can leave streaks of the foundation on your face.
