Foundation liquid is a cosmetic product primarily used to even out skin tone, cover imperfections, and adjust skin color. It is a facial makeup product that typically comes in the form of an emulsion. It contains powdered pigments, glycerin, water, and other ingredients, and its stability is achieved by blending different proportions of oil and water phases.
What are the functions of foundation liquid?
Concealing imperfections:
Foundation liquid has a certain degree of coverage, which can conceal facial flaws such as acne, dark circles, and pigmentation. It can make the skin appear smoother and flawless.
Providing protection:
Some foundation liquids contain sunscreen ingredients, offering a certain level of UV protection. This is particularly important for daily use as it helps prevent damage to the skin from sunlight.
Enhancing makeup longevity:
Foundation liquid provides a smooth base for subsequent makeup products, making it easier to apply and ensuring longer-lasting makeup. It helps makeup adhere better to the skin, extending the longevity of the overall look.
How to use foundation liquid?
After skincare, foundation liquid is applied as the first step of makeup. Choose a foundation liquid that matches your skin tone and apply it in moderation. Take a small amount and evenly spread it on the cheeks, nose, forehead, chin, and other areas. You can use your fingers, a sponge, or a dedicated foundation brush. Start from the center of the face and blend outward, from top to bottom. Use a patting or blending technique to achieve a uniform and natural-looking finish. Finally, use a sponge to gently pat the entire face to improve the adherence of the foundation.
Make foundation liquid the perfect base for your makeup and showcase confident and radiant skin. However, remember to remove makeup and cleanse the skin daily, and avoid leaving makeup on for extended periods or using foundation liquid for prolonged durations.
