Foundation is the base of every great makeup look. It can make or break your entire look if not done correctly. Finding out new beauty tricks when it comes to applying your foundation can be great, but once you have the correct beauty tips for applying foundation, you may not need any tricks.

1. Start with a clean canvas: Your foundation will only look as good as the skin underneath, so maintaining a consistent skin care routine is key. Right before applying foundation, it’s important to cleanse your skin to help prevent clogged pores and remove any dirt that may be dulling your natural radiance. Next, gently exfoliate your skin to sweep away any dry, dead skin cells that may cause foundation to go on unevenly or look flaky. Finally, apply moisturizer; foundation sinks best into hydrated skin.

2. Take the time to prime: A primer may add an additional step to your makeup routine, but it will go a long way to ensure that your foundation looks flawless because it turns your skin into a perfectly smooth surface.

3. Be conservative: Always start by applying just a little bit of foundation, and then add more until you have just the right amount of coverage. The goal is to only apply foundation where you need it, so that your skin still looks like skin. If you have to apply foundation all over your face for it to look even, then you’re using the wrong shade.

4. Work from the inside out: Concentrate the foundation in the center of your face where redness and blemishes tend to be more problematic. Apply just a dab of foundation on each side of your nose, and in the center of your forehead and chin, then blend outward. After it is all blended in, pinpoint any other areas of the face where blemishes are visible and apply an additional light layer of foundation in those specific areas.

5. Stipple, don’t rub: Whether you’re using a foundation brush or your fingertips, apply foundation in a stippling motion, which means gently tapping it into your skin. Avoid any wiping or rubbing motions because that will only push the foundation around and cause streaks.

6. Don’t forget your ears!: Often overlooked, your ears are a part of your face, too. If you’re prone to red lobes, lightly sweep your foundation brush over them so that they blend in with the rest of your face.

7.Set it and forget it: Most people associate powder with a matte, cakey look, but dusting a silky loose setting powder, like Blended Loose Powder, over your foundation will ensure it won’t budge without dulling its finish.

As the world feels like it may be crumbling, the fashion industry has been taking a stand to fight against the global pandemic, COVID-19. Vogue and the CFDA, the Council of Fashion Designers of America, have teamed up to raise awareness and protect the future names in the retail business. A Common Thread, the fashion fund originally created for relief efforts in regards to 9/11, is doing their part to keep the industry on its feet as the world fights COVID-19 together.

This relief effort is not only a way to expand the possible income of donations for those who cannot maintain their businesses, but an inside look on designers who want to be able to fulfill their dream. A Common Thread is giving these designers a chance to speak on a national platform and discuss their struggles throughout the craziness that is the world today. Designers are able to apply for this fund if they find that they are eligible and give a brief statement on how this charitable organization can impact their business.

Giving small designers the opportunity to represent themselves in collaboration with an iconic organization such as Vogue, adds a little positivity to the struggles we are all facing. Saks Fifth Avenue, Coach Foundation, Ralph Lauren Corporate Foundation, and Michael Kors are just some of the well established businesses that have come in to support this cause. Even though we all may be sporting our best pair of sweats as we wait this pandemic out at home, we all know how confident and radiant we feel when we throw on our favorite pair of jeans. In a time where fashion may not be our top priority, Vogue and the CFDA are asking for our help in support of those who really need it.

Look out for the June/July issue of Vogue featuring a Common Thread on its cover, you won’t want to miss it. If you’re looking to support a Common Thread or send in an application, you can reach the donation page at: https://cfda.com/programs/designers/cfdavogue-fashion-fund
