Understanding the Causes of Cakey Foundation: A Beginner’s Guide to Achieve Natural Looking Foundation for All Skin Types


Introduction:
Mastering the art of makeup is a journey that begins with understanding the basics of blending, using the right tools, and knowing the importance of enhancing your natural beauty. The video tutorial by the renowned makeup artist – which this article is based on – gives a comprehensive introduction to a glamorous yet natural makeup look. This piece will detail the step-by-step process and key tips shared in the video, enabling you to replicate the stunning look flawlessly.

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Start with Clean Skin: Prepping your skin is half the battle won. The makeup artist emphasizes cleansing, toning, and moisturizing before applying any makeup.

2. Foundation: Apply a foundation that matches your skin tone evenly on your face with a makeup sponge for a natural, flawless finish.

3. Concealer: Hide any blemishes or under-eye circles using a concealer. Blend it seamlessly with the foundation.

4. Setting Powder: To ensure your makeup stays put, use a setting powder.

5. Eye Makeup: The video shows us how to create a subtle smoky eye using shades of brown. Always start with a lighter shade and then gradually add depth with darker tones.

6. Eyeliner and Mascara: Apply jet-black eyeliner and two coats of mascara to enhance your eyes further.

7. Contour: Subtly contour your cheeks for that chiseled look.

8. Highlight: Add a hint of highlighter on your cheekbones to give your skin a healthy glow.

9. Lip Makeup: Finish off with a neutral lipstick and a swipe of gloss for an added sheen.

Key Tips and Advice:

The most impactful advice from the video is the importance of blending makeup properly. Uneven makeup application can look patchy and unnatural. Another integral point is that less is more when it comes to makeup. You should aim to enhance your features, not hide them under layers of makeup.

Conclusion:

The video tutorial embraces the beauty of natural-looking makeup. It encourages viewers to experiment with their look but also reminds us to stay true to our unique beauty. As the makeup artist emphasizes, “makeup should be fun and personal, not stressful or uncomfortable. Don’t hide; instead, enhance!”

Product and Tool Listing:

1. Foundation: Provides an even base for your makeup.

2. Concealer: Used to hide imperfections and brighten the under-eye area.

3. Setting Powder: Helps to set makeup and ensure its longevity on your skin.

4. Eyeshadow: Used in the video to create a natural smoky eye.

5. Eyeliner: Provides definition to the eyes.

6. Mascara: Adds volume and length to eyelashes.

7. Contour: Used for defining your face’s natural features.

8. Highlighter: Gives your skin a healthy, radiant glow.

9. Lipstick and Lip Gloss: Adds a finishing touch to your makeup.

10. Makeup sponge: Helps in evenly applying foundation and concealer.

Remember, no two faces are alike. Therefore, makeup is a form of artistic expression that should showcase your individuality. So, be creative and, most importantly, enjoy the process!

    Don't use foundation use to back in the days but not that much now I moisturise twice daily as well as washing my face. I like the air to get to my skin as I think it is very beneficial.

    A tip! color correctors that may be too dark or colorful for your skin is to mix a lighter concealer with it. The lighter concealer should be around your skin color!!

    so in summary, the steps to applying makeup is:
    1. Wash your fash with a suitable fash wash
    2. Dry your face and apply toner
    3. Let the toner set for a minute before applying a thin layer of moisturizer
    4. Wait about 5 minutes, then apply a layer of sunscreen all over your face
    5. Apply primer on for a smooth base
    6. Color corrector (if needed) on the areas that are too dark and patchy
    7. Apply concealer under your eyes and on dark spots
    8. Apply your foundation
    9. Set your makeup using a setting powder or translucent powder

    I've been facing a problem with my moisturizing cream and idk if it's normal.. After 1-2hrs or even less of applying the moisturizer if I touch/scratch my face with my hands or if I apply my foundation it tends to pill like shown at 4:24 My skin is more of a combination type and the moisturizer that I use has more of a gel than a cream texture. Any recommendations of what I should do and is anyone having or had the same issue?
