To apply LAKME foundation for a natural-looking makeup, follow these steps:
Start with a clean and moisturized face: Cleanse your face thoroughly and apply a moisturizer suitable for your skin type. Allow the moisturizer to absorb fully before moving on to the next step.
Choose the right shade: Select a LAKME foundation shade that closely matches your skin tone. It's best to test the foundation on your jawline or the back of your hand to ensure a seamless blend with your natural skin color.
Prep your skin with a primer (optional): If you prefer to use a primer, apply a thin layer to create a smooth canvas for your foundation. Primers can help minimize the appearance of pores, smooth out fine lines, and increase the longevity of your makeup.
Dispense a small amount of foundation: Squeeze a small amount of LAKME foundation onto the back of your hand or the palm of your hand. You can always add more if needed, so start with a conservative amount.
Apply the foundation: Use a makeup sponge, brush, or your fingertips to apply the foundation to your face. Start in the center of your face and blend the foundation outward towards your hairline and jawline. Pay attention to areas that require more coverage, such as blemishes or redness.
Blend thoroughly: Use gentle tapping or sweeping motions to blend the foundation evenly into your skin. Make sure there are no visible lines or patches, and pay extra attention to blend along your hairline, jawline, and around your nose.
Build coverage (if desired): If you prefer more coverage, you can apply an additional thin layer of foundation to areas that need it. Focus on areas where you want to even out skin tone or conceal imperfections.
Set with powder (optional): To enhance the longevity of your foundation and reduce shine, you can lightly dust a setting powder over your face. This step is especially useful for oily or combination skin types.
Check your makeup in natural light: Step outside or near a window to check your makeup in natural light. This will help you ensure that your foundation matches your skin tone and looks natural in different lighting conditions.
Remember, less is often more when it comes to foundation. Start with a light application and build coverage gradually if needed. It's important to blend well to achieve a seamless and natural finish. Additionally, make sure to choose products suitable for your skin type and consider using other makeup products (such as concealer, blush, and highlighter) to enhance your overall look.
