The order of using foundation and BB cream

Newbies who are putting on makeup for the first time don’t quite know how to distinguish between liquid foundation and BB cream. The usage of BB cream is relatively simple. You can apply it directly on the skin, but you need to apply a primer before applying it. Then apply the liquid foundation evenly on the face. Although the usage method is similar to that of BB cream, you still have to pay attention to the whole process.

There are five things to pay attention to when using foundation after moisturizing cream. The steps are: moisturizing cream, primer, BB cream. The correct way to use BB cream is to lightly apply BB cream on the cheeks, forehead, chin, and nose. Taking the cheeks as an example, spread the BB cream and evenly apply it from top to bottom. Then use a little BB cream to modify the high cheekbones. Remember to apply from top to bottom to avoid clogging the pores as much as possible. . Do a good job of removing makeup, and apply the cleansing oil from bottom to top.

1) The foundation color should be coordinated with the skin color, avoiding too big a difference from the skin color

The function of foundation is to even out your skin tone, not to drastically change it. Wanting to be perfectly fair or completely flawless will only make your foundation thicker and thicker, and your flaws will become more obvious.

2) The color and texture of the foundation should be coordinated with the skin type, season or makeup, etc.

Generally speaking, if you wear makeup frequently, you should at least have two shades of foundation that are close to your skin tone. For example, an OL makeup can be lighter, while a healthy outdoor makeup can be darker. Oily skin requires an oil-controlling, hydrophilic foundation, while dry skin can appropriately choose an oil-loving, moisturizing foundation. Similarly, in the dry autumn and winter, it is best to choose foundation products with better moisturizing effects.

3) Apply evenly and with appropriate thickness

Apply it evenly and with the right thickness so that the makeup will have a cohesive look. Otherwise it will look like patches on your face, with patches here and there. When applying liquid foundation, you can choose some makeup brushes appropriately. A foundation brush is a good choice. If you use a foundation brush, the foundation you apply will be more transparent, thinner, more natural, and the nude makeup effect will be better. You can use a flat-head foundation brush here, such as Makeupshowbrush's H03, which is a good choice. In addition, an appropriate amount of foundation should be applied to areas that are connected to or close to the face, such as the neck, collarbone, etc.

4) The transition between light and dark should be natural

In order to enhance the contours of the face, we often use a combination of light and dark foundation. Sometimes, in order to cover blemishes, a concealer that is slightly darker than your skin color is used. At this time, the difference between the dark and light colors should be avoided, and the transition must be smooth. You can use a small concealer brush to apply it and then pat it with a sponge.

5) Sun Protection Index

Liquid foundation is usually labeled with SPF. The so-called SPF refers to the sun protection factor of sunscreen products, which indicates the sun protection effectiveness of sunscreen products. The larger the SPF value, the worse its permeability, which will hinder the normal secretion and respiration of the skin, block the synthesis of vitamin D, and affect the absorption of calcium and phosphorus. Over time, it will increase the risk of osteoporosis.
