Start with clean, moisturised skin
Before any makeup, cleanse and moisturise your skin, then wait a little for the cream to absorb so your makeup does not go patchy.
Use a primer that suits your skin type
Primer helps foundation last longer. Choose one that suits your skin: hydrating for dry skin, mattifying for oily skin.
Apply foundation in thin layers
Starting with a small amount and building up only where you need it looks lighter and more natural than one thick layer.
Set with powder in the right places
A light dusting of powder on the centre of the face (forehead, nose and chin) reduces shine without making the rest of your face look dry.
Carry blotting papers
Instead of re-powdering every hour, blotting papers lift excess oil and refresh your makeup without adding layers.
