Foundation is the step where beginners struggle most — and where technique matters more than the bottle. These seven steps work with any foundation and turn a streaky five minutes into a smooth base that looks like skin.
Steps 1–2: Prep is half the result
Moisturize (or use a moisturizer-primer like FLiCKA Silk Touch) and wait one full minute. Foundation on dry or freshly-creamed skin either clings to patches or slides — the sixty-second wait fixes both.

Steps 3–4: Dot, then bounce
Dot foundation on forehead, both cheeks, nose and chin. Then bounce a damp blender puff outward from the center of the face. Bounce, never drag — dragging creates streaks, bouncing presses product into skin.

Step 5: Build only where needed
Most faces need full coverage only around the nose, chin and any spots. Keep cheeks and forehead at one thin layer — this is the single biggest secret of natural-looking makeup.

Steps 6–7: Conceal after, set last
Concealer goes on after foundation (you will need half as much), then set with powder — loose at home, compact for the bag. Under-eyes, nose sides and chin first; everywhere else lightly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my foundation look patchy?
Dry skin underneath or a dry sponge. Moisturize, wait a minute, and always use the blender damp.
Fingers, brush or sponge?
A damp sponge for beginners — it is the most forgiving and gives the most natural finish. Fingers for quick jobs, brushes for full coverage speed.
