What mistake is often made when applying foundation: how to make your face flawless

A well-applied foundation serves as the base for all makeup, and mistakes made when applying it can ruin the whole job. That's why makeup artists are tirelessly coming up with new life hacks to make foundation coverage flawless.

One such tip was posted on her TikTok by celebrity makeup artist Katie Jane Hughes. She has created red-carpet looks for Ashley Graham, Hailey Bieber, Karlie Kloss, and Emmy Rossum, so she knows how to make a flawless face.

According to Hughes, most women make the same mistake when applying foundation to their faces with a brush, picking up the product directly on the lint. This way, the cream doesn't have time to become sufficiently plastic and turns into a thick, mask-like layer.

Instead, the makeup artist advises to first apply the cream in the palm of your hand to warm it up, and then rub it properly in your hand with a brush. In this way, the warm and plastic product will penetrate deeply into the pile and its application to the skin will create a more natural finish. You won't need to blend the foundation to make it invisible on the skin.

Moreover, this application will help the cream stay on the face longer and will also save the situation if the product is not perfectly matched to the skin tone. In addition, with this application, the entire makeup will look like it was done by a professional.

Hughes compared the effect of such a "primer" with a brush to the use of filters in the photo. The image created in this way looks flawless, applied without any extra effort or additional tools. In addition, the consumption of the cream, if applied in this way, will be significantly reduced.
