A Touch of Base - Make-Up Guide Tutorial

SAED Make-Up Guide Training - A Touch of Base

To get perfectly even skin the speedy way, use a foundation stick. It's easy and gives you plenty precise application. We like Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick . Try Rizzieri's technique: Using the stick like a giant marker, draw thick lines down cheekbones, the sides of your nose and above brows, and blend with your fingers. Want to look a little more sun-kissed? Before blending, use a second stick that's two or three shades darker in all the same places for a streak-free glow (it looks dark in the pictures, but we promise it melts right in). Mix both colors together over your face and down onto your neck using your fingers—the heat from your hands will warm up the foundation and help it glide. Expert tip: Want lighter coverage? Rub moisturizer on your hands before you blend for a sheer, dewy finish.
