Using Cake Foundation

Cake foundations give a smooth, matte finish that prevents skin from looking shiny and oily. Some can be applied using a dry sponge instead of a damp one and many now contain powder particles, with the result that you only need to apply a face powder on top if you have very oily skin. It takes practice Lo learn how much foundation to use; if you have put too much on, sweep the sponge over the face again but do not reload it. 

1 Keep your hair off your face by lying ii back or using a hair band or scarf. Cleanse and moisturize your face and neck. Wail at least five minutes for the moisturizer lo be thoroughly absorbed into the skin.

2 Sweep the sponge smoothly across the foundation, if you are using a cake foundation that needs to be applied with water, dampen a sponge and squeeze out of the excess water. The more water you leave in the sponge, the lighter the effect of the foundation will be; the drier the sponge, the heavier the effect will be.

3 Using gentle, even strokes cover the larger areas of your lace first (the checks, forehead, and T-zone), following their natural contours.

4 Blend well under the jawline and down onto the neck to create a natural effect and avoid a demarcation line.
