Blend foundation properly: Use a makeup sponge, brush, or your fingers to blend the foundation evenly onto your face and neck, focusing on areas that need more coverage. Make sure there are no visible lines or uneven patches.

Choose the right foundation shade: Select a foundation that matches your skin tone perfectly. Test the shade on your jawline to ensure it blends seamlessly with your natural skin color.

Facial Cleanser: Use a gentle facial cleanser twice a day, in the morning and at night, to remove dirt, oil, and makeup from your skin. Apply the cleanser to your face and neck, massage it gently with your fingertips, and rinse it off with lukewarm water.

Start With a Clean Canvas
One of the most essential elements to creating a flawless, low-key look is starting with freshly cleaned skin. Work in a hydrating cleanser that dissolves any existing makeup and impurities on the skin while simultaneously giving the skin a boost of antioxidants. IMAGE Skincare's VITAL C Hydrating Facial Cleanser does just that thanks to ingredients like vitamin C and superoxide dismutase, which fight against free radicals lurking in the environment that cause oxidative stress in the skin. It also contains soapwort, a cleansing botanical extract that has soothing properties.

Foundation
When it comes to foundation, there are two things that are absolute musts: finding the right shade for your skin tone and avoiding the dreaded cakey look. You may need to test out different products before finding the correct color for your complexion, so research is key. Luckily, plenty of brands today carry a wide range of shades that complement every skin tone. For the latter, Kendall recommends applying foundation using a beauty sponge. It absorbs product, allowing you to gradually add the ideal amount of foundation.

Primer
Primers tend to go overlooked, especially by makeup newbies, but it's definitely one that your makeup kit should never be without. Think of it as Photoshop for your skin. It smooths out your complexion by filling in large pores, lines and other blemishes, leaving you with a flawless and even base to ensure your makeup application is a breeze.

Similar to the other products mentioned, this O.TWO.O Liquid Concealer Primer is very effective in covering flaws and moisturizing your skin. It is durable and makes your skin look fresh, clear, and breathable. Furthermore, it is a slim, silky, exquisite and extended foundation that is easy to blend and moisturizes the skin without being stuck.

This BB cream adds a buildable, full coverage look while keeping your skin moisturized and protected from the sun with a dose of SPF. The Dare Tint Matte Tattoo is another favorite.
