Steps

1

Start with a clean, moisturized face. Let the moisturizer set for a few minutes. Blot any excess moisturizer with a tissue as greasy skin will make the foundation slip and slide.

   Dip your foundation brush into the white cream-based foundation to wipe up a thin layer onto the brush. Using the foundation brush, gently pat the cream foundation onto the surface of the face in an evenly thin layer. Repeat dipping and gently patting the foundation until the entire face is completely covered with a thin and even base.

   Avoid dragging the brush across the face, as this movement will wipe off the makeup. Blend well at the hairline and jaw line to avoid a mask-like look.

   Once your entire face is covered with a thin and even layer, set the foundation immediately after by brushing loose powder that is lighter than your skin tone, such as porcelain. This absorbs the excess oils on the skin that causes the cream foundation to smear. It helps the makeup to stay put and not move for hours. The powder or cream foundation texture is similar to acrylic gouache painting for its opacity and durability.

   Repeat the white cream foundation and powder process a second time for a more dramatic look for evening. This will help create even longer-lasting results.

   If makeup is for film or photography, three thin layers of foundation with loose powder in between are recommended to last for many hours, even under hot lights.you can also use liquid eyeliner to make swirly designs this looks pretty cool too and some gold glitter ( thought i might add)
