Method:
- Wash your
hands and arms , cover the client’s clothes with the shoulder cape and put hair
back using clips or a head band.
- Cleanse,
tone and moisturiser the face- see previous notes.
- Hold the
foundations up to the clients face and choose the colours you think will match
their skin tone.
- Place a
small amount of the foundations onto a palette or the back of your hand.
- Mix them
together using a spatula, mix well to avoid streaking.
- Tilt the
clients head and apply the foundation to the jaw line and blend into the skin.
Make sure you go down onto the neck also as it is often slightly lighter than
the face.
- The colour
should almost disappear into the skin if it’s right. If not mix whichever
colours are needed to make it perfect.
- Remove any
foundation than was not the correct colour with a tissue and cleanse, tone and
moisturise that area again if needed.
- Write down
the colours and quantities that you have used if you will need to make the same
colour again.
- Make
enough of the colour to cover the whole face.
- Apply a
primer or mix your primer into the foundation and apply all over the face and
onto the neck.
- Tilt the
clients head up and apply the foundation using a foundation base brush starting
at the nose and use sweeping strokes all over the face
- Use cotton
wool pads to hold the skin around the eyes and any other skin that needs to be
held. Don’t touch the skin with your hands as you will take foundation off the
face.
-Make sure
you apply foundation onto the ears, down onto the neck and over the crease in
the neck, into the hair line but not into the hair, you can also go over the
lips and into the eyebrows.
- Get you
concealer palette and chose a concealer one or two shades lighter than the
foundation or you can mix a light shade into the left over foundation. You can
use a tinted concealer for colour correction e.g. green tint cancels out
redness.
- Use a
small rounded brush to apply the concealer onto blemishes and imperfections,
softly dap it onto the skin and blend into the foundation you can use another
clean brush to do this.
- Use a
kabuki brush or buffer brush in a circular motion all over the face to blend in
the foundation and concealer and buff it into the skin.
- Put powder
onto a palette or your arm using cotton wool or a puff and apply the powder in
a rolling motion to set the foundation if you are doing a powder make up e.g.
using powder blusher and eyeshadow. If you don’t use powder they will not work
as well on just a foundation base. If you are going to use cream based products
apply any powder afterwards otherwise the products will not set properly.
In this first attempt I found it difficult to blend the concealer with the foundation so I need to use a smaller brush to apply the concealer and buff it into the foundation to get a flawless coverage.
It is important to chose the correct colour of foundation otherwise it will not match the skin properly. |

Today it is usually more fashionable to have tanned skin because of its connotations of being in the sun on holiday, where as in Elizabethan times it was more desired to be pale as it showed you didn't have to work outside. http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Media/Columnists/Columnists/2012/1/9/1326126744126/The-Only-Way-is-Essex-007.jpg |
Tinted
moisturiser is good for men as imperfections are covered but the skin still
looks natural as it isn’t a heavy coverage. Tinted moisturiser also works well
on normal skin that has few imperfections to give a light coverage and can work
well for daytime looks.
Grease and
cream based foundations or highly moisturising foundations are good for dry
skins. Also apply a little more moisturiser than you would on a normal skin to
help combat the dryness.
Grease and
cream foundations give a heavy coverage which is good if the client has a skin
problem that needs covering, especially if the problem covers a large area of
the face.
Oil based
foundations are good for mature skin as they work well to fill in fine lines
and wrinkles.
Liquid
foundation works well on combination skin as many adapt to suite the different
areas of the skin. On areas of the skin that are prone to becoming oily more
powder can be used or added throughout the day.
Liquid
foundation can also be used on oily skin especially mattifying liquid
foundations. Powder should be used to set the foundation and many need to be
added to through the day if the skin becomes oilier.
Pressed powder foundations are good for
creating a matte finish to oily skin however usually don’t give as full a
coverage as liquid foundations and don’t work as well if you are planning to
use non-powder based products for the rest of the make-up, such as cream
blushers.
