Applying foundation?
I'm not sure how to apply it. My face always looks fuzzy even from far away. What moisturizer is good to use? What parts of my face do I apply the foundation, anyway?
(I'm going to get a makeup sponge)
I'll like sites with pictures ^^

Biore has a great moisturizer to put on before you put on your make up its cheap and makes your skin soft and smooth! You can apply the foundation to your whole face, if you do that becareful and make sure you blend it to your hairline and down your neck so you dont have a line, or you can just put it on your "problem areas" where ever you think you need coverage.
Dot the foundation on where ever your putting it, & as much as you need, and use a make up sponge to blend the foundation upwards sometimes it helps to pat it then blend it

Well I'm guessin you have dry skin. I use Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel. It's GREAT. It's a part of their 3 step skin care...but you can just buy the lotion/gel separate. As for applying foundation..what i do is d put 3 dots of foundation up each side of my face then i rub it in with the sponge. and i put some on my forehead to. i dont really put it all over my nose because im prone to acne around my nose and it would make it look cakey. soo i hope i helped!

Try mixing a little bit of foundation to face mousturizer. keep adding more until it matches your skin tone. then, using a make up sponge, dab it in the mix and blot it on your wrist to get off any exess make up (the last thing you want is a cakey face). The apply it under your eyes and on your T-zone (forehead, nose & chin). But make sure you blen it well and that the color matches your skintone- you dont want uneven skin!
Hope this helped <3

use fingers to apply it. Go to shepora (best store) and ask for bair minerals foundation. Pick a color thats a little lighter than your natural skin color and if you need help with that you can always ask someone there.
1) put just a touch on your finger
2)litely pad it under your eyes and if still noticable rub it a little bit with you index finger
3) and blemishes or pimples that you would like to cover up just dab on a little around and ontop of them
4) remeber dont put it all over your face because that can look really bad
5) if you think foundation might wash out your face tone try a pinkish blush after applying the foundation to bring some color into you face
>3 good luck

Alright, here's my recommendation to you for applying makeup.
It's important to not to use too much, and I personally don't recommend a sponge - using your fingers apply it much smoother and evenly.
-Make sure you choose the right color - if you don't it will show more.
-Less is more - don't apply too much.
-Start with very little - you can always apply more.
Now about skin - your skin greatly affects how makeup is applied.
If you have very dry skin start with a moisturizer - but put it on a good 10-15minutes before you intend on putting on the foundation.
If you have oily skin make sure you get a Oil-Free foundation, and don't forget to use a toner/cleansing product on your skin first.
If you have both (oily patches/acne/dry skin) it's important to sort your skin out before you worry about makeup. I (for example) get zits once and a while, but my forhead is VERY oily and my cheeks are VERY dry. So I start with a cleansing product all over my face (to reduce zits/oil) and then apply Extra Gental moisturizer (not lotion) to my face, only on my cheeks and dry patches.
Now, where to apply the makeup
Start with dabbing some on your cheeks, forhead and chin (minimally). Then just rub it around (don't try to rub it into your skin - then it goes into your pores and clogs them and causes the foundation to be very visable). Your goal with it is to just even your skin out. (If you have major acne spots/zits use a cover up to only blot those spots).
I think that's everything. Just remember, it takes time to find the right combination for your skin. Don't get frustrated and only add one thing at a time so that you can see what works and what doesn't. When something works keep it!
Oh, another though, wash it with a face cloth once a day (morning) and rub to exfoliate skin. And at night use a makeup remover that is especially suited for your skin.
Just a personal note - my favourite skin products are the Dove line of extra-sensitive moisturizers/facewashers/toners/cleansers/makeup remover/exfoliating clothes.
And my favourite foundation is Mabelline Dream Matte Mouse. Its soft/light and doesn't look like you're wearing makeup at all!

well get a sponge for sure,
i personally love the makeup pads
that come with the MAC powered cover up.
With that pad liquid foundation goes on so
good and smooth. Its so natural looking to.
Then just put a powder over it.
I like dove.
it works really
good and its unbelievably cheap.
you put the liquid either all over,
or just over blemishes.
powder all over to even it out. :]
