your complexion can be. You will need Liquid foundation Facial cleanser Some warm water

A non-comedogenic moisturizer A clean, damp makeup sponge Some translucent powder And

a large powder brush or puff Some Concealer and a concealer brush. Step 1. Choose a foundation

that matches your skin exactly. To see if you have the right color, apply a lightly

blended swipe along your jawline in natural daylight—the right color should remain unnoticeable.

Step 2. Wash your face with warm water and a facial cleanser. You never want to apply

makeup to a dirty face. Step 3. Massage a bit of non-comedogenic facial moisturizer

into your skin. Step 4. Shake the bottle of foundation thoroughly before using it. Step

5. Squirt some foundation onto the back of your hand and spread it out with your finger.

Dip the sponge in the foundation. Make sure your sponge is damp, otherwise it will soak

up your foundation. Step 6. Apply the foundation starting in the middle of your face and work

your way outward. Blend a thin, even layer into your hairline and beyond your jawline

so that there are no discernible foundation lines. Step 7. With a concealer brush or your

ring or pinky finger, apply concealer to any blemished areas that were not muted with foundation.

Step 8. Finally, lightly dust on some translucent powder to keep the foundation in place. Perfect.
