In the massive world of makeup products, finding a full coverage Foundation is a Herculean task. Most of the time, some foundations, instead of concealing blemishes, spots etc., end up looking like a cakey mask. That being said, applying a full coverage foundation depends on the formula and the way you use it on your Skin. Don’t fret just as yet, as our guide can transform the face canvas into celebrity-like flawless skin. Here’s how you can go about using a full-coverage foundation.
1. PREP YOUR SKIN
Cleansing
Neemli Naturals Tea Tree and Salicylic Face Wash
₹608
Start by using a mild cleanser on your face as it helps get rid of dead skin cells or any residues. Use a cleanser that doesn’t have alcohol in it and is designed for your skin type. Popularly a face wash with salicylic acid in it is said to be suitable for all skin types.
Exfoliating
To avoid a cakey makeup look, exfoliation is a MUST DO! It helps get rid of dead skin cells. Depending on your skin type, you can pick out a suitable scrub. Remember to pick one out which is gently and with tiny granules. Anything rough could tear your skin apart.

Toning

Post exfoliation, apply a toner/serum to your face and wait for it to absorb into your skin. Irrespective of your skin type, this is an important step as it hydrates your skin deeply.
Moisturizing
And finally, use a dab of moisturizer all over your face before you start the makeup regime. Using a moisturizer is an important step as it hydrates the skin.
Bonus Tip – Press the moisturizer into your skin instead of rubbing it in. This allows it to properly seep into the skin.

2. LET'S TALK PRIMER
Colorbar Perfect Match Primer
₹722
To create an airbrushed look for your makeup, use a pore minimizing primer. Woovly’s beauty expert recommends Colorbar New Perfect Match Primer, as the lightweight formula blends well with the foundation. It also helps the makeup last longer.
How to use it?
Start from the centre of your face and then covering your T-zone. It gives a smooth and fine texture which makes it easier to apply the foundation without making it look creasy or cakey.
3. THE TOUCH OF FOUNDATION

This foundation besides giving full coverage also helps with easy application and is an instant way to make your skin look free from blemishes or hyper-pigmentation.

How to use it?
• Start by taking 1-2 pumps of the foundation on the back of your hand and apply small dots on your skin.
• Now in an outward motion, start blending from the center of the face with the help of a stippling brush.
• Then using a damp makeup sponge, dab (not swipe as it can create patches) the foundation, allowing it to melt into the skin.
4. CONCEAL IT ALL

Always go for a concealer that’s one shade lighter than your skin tone as it gives a natural look. Concealers are mainly designed to hide trouble spots like acne and other skin concerns. Use a pointed brush and cover the under-eye circles, covering the outer and inner corners. Dab some concealer if you notice untouched spots.
5. THE DEAL BREAKER, LOOSE POWDER
The Luminous powder adds a boost to the full coverage foundation. Instead of the mainstream matte powders, go for translucent ones that give the skin a striking glow. The powder sets the foundation and doesn’t let it form creases or cakey texture.
