Foundation Hacks

Foundation Hacks

Foundation Hacks
Platinum Course

Foundation is a total game changer, and possibly one of THE most integral parts of any beauty look. If the shade is off or the blending isn’t on point, it can ruin the whole look.
Achieving flawless foundation is also a major skill and there’s a lot of room for error – even the most seasoned pro can have a day where their foundation just does not behave!

Remember, the aim is always to achieve incredible, healthy-looking skin not great foundation, and that’s what we’re going to help you do with these epic hacks and tips.

Makeup Diploma

Here are our ride-or-die foundation hacks that never let us down.

1. For Flawless Skin: Prep is Key

Flawless makeup always starts with a great, hydrating skincare regime. The reality is, the better hydrated your skin is, the less likely your makeup will look cakey.

 

2. To Avoid a Cakey or Patchy Look: Exfoliate First

Beautiful, glowing skin is our number one goal RN, and the easiest way to achieve a radiant glow is by exfoliating before makeup application. Without regular exfoliation, your foundation runs the risk of looking cakey or patchy, as it clings to dry skin and texture. 

 

3. To Find the Right Foundation: Always Read the Label

It might sound obvious, but you should always read the label before purchasing a new product, especially a new foundation.

4. For the Ultimate Shade Match: Buy Two Foundations

If a foundation you love doesn’t have the perfect shade match for you, buy a foundation that’s one shade lighter than your skin tone and one that’s slightly darker, then combine the two. While we know this is a more expensive option, it does just mean that both formulas will last longer

5. For the Perfect Shade: Figure out Your Undertone

Finding the right undertone is key to shade matching like a pro-MUA. There are three key undertones: warm (golden, red, and yellow undertones), cool (beige and pink undertones), and neutral (a balance of gold and pink undertones). Your undertone, look at the veins on the inside of your wrist; if they’re green, you have a warm undertone (the yellow in your skin acts as a filter and makes your blue veins look green), and if they look blue, you have a cool undertone. Neutral undertones will see a combo of green and blue veins.

How to choose a lipstick shade

How to choose a lipstick shade

So the rule is, if you have warm undertones, then opt for a lipstick that also has warm undertones – easy right?

Warmer lipsticks have reddish, peach, orange or even yellowish undertones and tend to lean towards orangey hues, like coral, gold, copper, and all the way to siennas and browns. Peachy pink shades, orange-toned reds, and rosy pink shades will complement your skin tone best.

How to choose a lipstick shade for cool skin tones:

If you’ve determined that your undertone is cool, then look for lipsticks that also have cool undertones.

Cool-toned lipsticks will have blue and purple undertones. Look for blue hues like plum, cherry, mauve, crimson, and purples.

Neutral skin tones have both cool and warm tones, so there’s pretty much nothing that doesn’t suit you. Seriously, stop rubbing it in already!

One of our fave shades has to be the stunning red hue Miss America, which is a universal red shade that looks beautiful on everyone. Seriously, we’ve tried it on cool, warm, and neutral undertones and it’s so flattering as it has this insane luminosity to the color that allows the pigment to pop against any skin tone.

For any loyal Liquid Matte Lipstick lovers, don’t worry we kept and revamped eight of our most popular shades and created eight totally new shades so you’ll be able to enjoy the new formula and feel sexy and confident in your choice of lip shade.

Exfoliate

 

While you shouldn’t exfoliate daily, it’s still an integral step in your skincare routine, so we suggest exfoliating twice a week. There are two types of exfoliators; chemical and physical exfoliators. We prefer chemical exfoliators as they gently remove dead skin and clear out pores without risking removing any healthy skin.

 

Use A Clay Mask

Since the focus of week one is purifying and detoxing your skin, a clay mask is ideal. Clay will help extract any oil or impurities in your pores – you can see the oil gather as it’s pulled from your pores – it’s gross, yet oddly satisfying.

 

Brighten Your Skin

By introducing vitamin C to your skin, you’ll provide a surge of antioxidants that’ll brighten and illuminate the skin. Vitamin C serums will also help lighten any dark spots, so if your skin is prone to hyperpigmentation, make sure you’re using a vitamin C product.

For Your Best Skin

Use A Sleeping Mask

As week two is all about healing and hydration, a sleeping mask is an essential. In Korea, some women use a sleeping mask every night, although we think three times a week is plenty! A sleeping mask is like a supercharger night cream that’ll enhance the regeneration process that naturally occurs when your sleep. The mask will also act a barrier preventing moisture loss.

Give Yourself A DIY Facial

Ok, so once you’ve reached midweek (week two), it’s all about chasing that glow. So it’s time to give yourself the ultimate DIY facial. While we’ve covered most of the steps – cleanse, cleanse, exfoliate, mask, tone, moisturize – we also love to do a facial steam after cleansing and before we apply a face mask

Lastly, make sure you choose the exact right course for you so you can benefit from all the knowledge. 

Afterwards you will reap all the rewards of the best education and this will serve you well. 

By and large you will leave The Lipstick Makeup Institute packed with all skills to start your own business.

Achieving a flawless foundation

Achieving a flawless foundation

Achieving a flawless foundation

All in all this is key to any makeup look.

When applying foundation, less is more.

Start with a small amount on the back of your hand. Use a brush, sponge, or your fingers to apply.

Moreover, brushes give a more polished finish, while sponges provide a natural look.

Fingers are great for quick and easy application. Dab the foundation on your face, then blend outwards. This ensures an even distribution.

It starts with good skin prep.

Firstly, cleanse your face thoroughly. This removes dirt and oil, ensuring a smooth base.

Secondly, apply a moisturizer suited to your skin type. Hydrated skin allows foundation to glide on easily.

Thirdly,  moisturizing, use a primer. Primers fill in pores and fine lines, creating an even surface. Choose one that addresses your skin concerns, whether it’s redness, oiliness, or dullness.

Finally, it’s time for foundation.

However, picking the right shade is crucial. Test a few on your jawline to find the perfect match.

Above all the shade should blend seamlessly with your neck.

As I have shown, when applying foundation, less is more.

As long as you start with a small amount on the back of your hand. Use a brush, sponge, or your fingers to apply.

By and large, brushes give a more polished finish, while sponges provide a natural look.

What is important

Equally important, fingers are great for quick and easy application. Dab the foundation on your face, then blend outwards.

Due to this ensures an even distribution.

To avoid a cakey look, build up coverage gradually. Apply thin layers, focusing on areas needing more coverage. Blend well into your hairline and jawline to prevent any noticeable lines.

Evidently set your foundation with a translucent powder.

Equally  important for oily skin.

Achieving a flawless foundation
Beautiful make up school

 

Lightly dust the powder on your face, paying extra attention to your T-zone. This helps the foundation last longer and reduces shine.

Lastly, mist your face with a setting spray. This locks in your makeup and adds a natural glow. Plus, it helps your foundation stay put all day.

In summary, flawless foundation requires preparation, the right tools, and a bit of patience. Cleanse, moisturize, prime, and choose the correct shade. Apply in thin layers, blend thoroughly, and set it with powder and spray. Follow these steps, and you’ll achieve a flawless finish every time.

Makeup is Magic

It can change how we look and feel in just a few minutes. First, it helps us feel more confident. For example, a bit of lipstick can make a smile shine brighter. When we feel good about how we look, we often feel better inside too.

Next, makeup lets us be creative. We can play with colors and styles to express who we are.

How does it work

Firstly, one day, we might want to look bold and strong with bright red lipstick.

Secondly, another day, we might choose soft pastels for a gentle, sweet look. The choices are endless.

Thirdly, moreover, makeup can hide things we don’t like.

Lastly, as I have noted ,if we have a pimple or dark circles, a little concealer can make them vanish.

 

This small trick can make us feel more comfortable and ready to face the day.

Then, there is the fun of learning new skills.

However, using makeup means learning how to use different tools and products.

Additionally, watching tutorials and trying new techniques can be exciting. Each time we try something new, we get a bit better. It’s like practicing a magic trick until we get it just right.

Also, makeup can help us connect with others. Friends often share tips and tricks or enjoy getting ready together.

However, this shared experience can bring people closer. It’s a way to bond over a common interest.

In conclusion, makeup is magic because it boosts confidence, sparks creativity, hides flaws, teaches new skills, and connects people.

By all means check out our website:

 All in all, with a few simple products, we can transform ourselves.

Makeup Mistake You Don’t Know

Makeup Mistake You Don’t Know

 

Makeup Mistake

Is It Your Foundation? Chemical SPFs found in foundation and concealers won’t cause flashback, but if they use the minerals Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide, then the probability of getting a bright white face is much more likely. 

Or Is It Your Powder? By far your worst flashback enemy is silica – the culprit behind the celeb mishaps above. Silica is used mainly in HD powders (some translucent powders have it too), and its light-reflecting particles make it perfect for soaking up oil and blurring imperfections; giving you that flawless matte look that was created for film cameras. Alas, when the flash comes out it can result in harsh white patches that look far from fleeky. HD powders are different to setting powders, so it’s less likely the latter will be a problem, but still check for silica to be on the safe-side before a night out.

Makeup Mistake You Don’t Know

How to Avoid Flashback:

Foundation Fix: One option is to avoid using foundations with SPF at nighttime. You can also check the ingredients on your foundation; if it has SPF but no Titanium Dioxide or Zinc Oxide, you won’t need to worry about ghost face.

Steer Clear of Silica: If a powder lists silica in the ingredients there’s a very strong chance you’ll get flashback – especially if you bake with it! HD powders use silica because it’s silky smooth and makes your skin look poreless and beautiful, so, by all means, If you use the slightest amount, you could get away with it, but be sure to do a quick flash test before you leave the house.

Day 2

Look 1
Designer: Next Generation

Welcome to the dark side with New Generations latest collection. With a gothic look to match their beautiful dark stain clothing,  make up by illamasqua to create this look.

We had a light base of foundation to give the clear clean skin look, very light contour just to highlight the cheek bones. On the eyes we used a sliver shimmer to the inner corner of the eyes, taking this to the base of the eyelid, up to the brow bone and gradually taking a darker shade in the eye crease for a bit of contouring, we also took the sliver shimmer under the eye and one light coat of mascara only of the top lashes.
For the lips we took a deep purple to finish off the gothic look.

Look 2
Designer: Jeans Couture

With Jeans Couture funky edgy style we took peach and bronze tones to the eyes.  On the lids we used a peachy bronze across the whole lid, we used a darker tone to bring the colour up to the brows. One coat of mascara on the top lashes. We kept the bottom lash line mascara free with a light sweep of peach pigment. For the lips we had a beautiful plum colour to compliment the bright eyes.  For the cheekbones we took a shade of rouge to match the lip colour.  The base was a matte clean finish.

Look 3
Designer: Laquan Smith

With deep shades of red, black latex and sexy thigh high boots for this collection, we went for the oh so seductive look.

We had to get the make up done before the gorgeous models got their hair done so we had no time to lose. The look was very similar to Jeans Couture. We change the eyes slightly making the colours more pinks rather than bronze, we blended the shade more and didn’t take it as high as the brow bone, using the same technique  to sweep slight pink pigment along the bottom lash line. With the lips we chose a slightly less blue undertone for a lighter shade.  We contoured the cheeks more and high

Look 4
Designer: Laura Macini

Laura Macini create a beautiful Egyptian look for her beautiful evening gowns.

We bronzed the base up a bit for this look, contouring and highlighting the cheekbones and forehead.  We kept the eyelid clean from colour using vaseline to create a beau tile sheen, used liquid liner on both the top and bottom lash line to elongate the eyes. For the lips we took  a light blush shade to finish off the look.

 

 

Arab Fashion Week Day 2

Look 5
Designer: Ilse Jara

A complete eye change for this look compared to Laura Macini. Eyeliner came off and the gold was packed on. We kept the base very light and clean with just a very slight bronze for a cheekbone contour but the  main focus was the eyes. We smashed heavy gold pigment from the top lashliene to the brows, smudging some vaseline on the lids as well for extra sheen.  Lips we took pinky nude colour and kept lips matte.  The hair stylist finished the look off by sweeping the hair back off the models face, this look is amazing on the catwalk as all the lights really shows the gold on the models eyes.
