The base to make up your face: Before becoming a makeup artist I always thought that the only way I would last the entire day basis, was applying a lot of quantity. But I was unnatural and "stucco" on my skin. So I just do not apply foundation. Now that time has passed I feel it necessary to match my face and camouflage blemishes and discoloration. And so I learned to apply it correctly.
It's as simple as using makeup remover, toner and moisturizer before applying foundation. Cleaning and moisturizing skin properly to avoid pores quickly absorb and dry foundation.
It is also important to hydrate the eye area for several reasons. Here the skin is thinner, has wrinkles of expression and will probably apply where several layers of makeup (like shadows and eyeliner powder, etc.). Therefore craquelé the base more easily and is thick.
Last but not least is to choose a base color that fits perfectly with your skin tone, but again looks like a "mask" on his face. We dare you to make the perfect look and use foundation. It is untrue that is outdated and heavy.
