Then gently spread it from the inside out. For small areas such as the wings of your nose and around your eyes, use the pads of your fingers to carefully apply the foundation to ensure an even finish.

Tips for achieving beautiful skin
When using liquid foundation, it is important to keep a few points in mind in order to achieve a finish that resembles beautiful skin. Here, we will explain in detail the tips from skin care to finishing.
The Importance of Skin Care
The role of moisturizing and primer before makeup
Preparing your skin before applying makeup is key to successfully applying liquid foundation. Proper moisturizing will prevent your skin from drying out and ensure that the foundation adheres evenly to your skin. If you have particularly dry skin, it's a good idea to use a highly moisturizing cream or serum.
The foundation smooths out unevenness in the skin and makes it easier for the foundation to adhere to the skin. If you choose a foundation with sunscreen properties, you can protect yourself from UV rays at the same time. Applying the foundation thinly and evenly will help ensure an even finish.
Key point : By moisturizing and using a foundation, you can protect your skin and keep it healthy.
How to choose skin care products that suit your skin type
It is also important to choose skin care products that suit your skin type. If you have oily skin, choose products that control sebum. If you have dry skin, we recommend products that are rich in moisturizing ingredients. If you have combination skin, it is effective to use different products for different parts of your skin.
Use the right amount of foundation
How to apply the right amount and how to avoid overapplication
The appropriate amount of liquid foundation is one or two pearl-sized pieces for the entire face. Be careful not to use too much, as it can make your face look thick and cakey. For a natural finish, apply a small amount to five points on your face (forehead, both cheeks, nose, and chin) and spread from the inside to the outside.
Tip : Use a sponge or brush to absorb excess foundation and prevent over application.
Layering techniques
For problem areas, you can increase coverage by applying small amounts in layers. By applying thin layers rather than a large amount at once, you can achieve a natural finish without feeling like you've applied too much. Be sure to apply layers carefully, especially under the eyes and around the nose.
Using Finishing Powder
Types of finishing powder and how to choose them
Finishing powder is an essential item for finishing your makeup. Loose types give a light finish, while pressed types are easy to carry around. It is best to choose one that suits your skin type. Those with oily skin should choose one that absorbs sebum, while those with dry skin should choose one that contains moisturizing ingredients.
A finish that won't crumble
When using finishing powder, apply it by lightly pressing with a brush or puff. Focusing on the T-zone and around the nose, which are particularly prone to producing sebum, will help prevent your makeup from coming off. Finally, lightly pressing your entire face will help your makeup last longer.
Pro Tip : "Using a finishing powder will give your liquid foundation a beautiful finish."
Tips to prevent crumbling
To keep your liquid foundation finish for a long time, you need to use a few tricks. Here, we will introduce techniques to make your makeup tools clean, choose the right product for your skin type, and make your makeup last longer. By practicing these tips, you can achieve beautiful skin that won't easily come off.
Keep your makeup tools clean
How often and how to clean sponges and brushes
Keeping your makeup tools clean is the basis for makeup that won't come off. Foundation residue, sebum, and dust tend to accumulate on sponges and brushes, which can cause uneven makeup application and skin problems.
Sponge : Clean once a week. Wash the sponge in lukewarm water with a mild detergent, gently scrub it, rinse thoroughly and dry in the shade.
Brushes : Ideally, you should wash them about once every two weeks. Use a brush cleaner or mild detergent to gently wash the tips of the bristles. Drain off the excess water, trim the tips and dry to help the brush last longer.
Tip : Using clean tools will ensure that the foundation applies evenly, dramatically improving the finish.
How clean tools affect the final result
Using dirty tools will prevent the foundation from adhering to the skin properly and will cause it to break down. Conversely, using clean tools will allow the liquid foundation to spread smoothly and achieve an even finish. It will also reduce the strain on your skin, helping to keep it healthy.
Choosing the right foundation for your skin type
Suitable for oily, dry and combination skin types
Choosing the right foundation for your skin type is the key to long-lasting makeup.
Oily skin : Choose a foundation with oil-controlling properties, especially one with a matte finish.
Dry skin : Choose a foundation that is rich in hydrating ingredients to keep your skin moisturized. Choose a product that gives a dewy finish.
-
Combination skin : Use different products in different areas, such as an oil-controlling product on the T-zone and a hydrating product on the cheeks, to create a balanced look.
How to choose according to the season and environment
The condition of your skin changes depending on the season and environment. In summer, you produce more sweat and sebum, so a matte foundation that won't come off easily is best. In winter, your skin is prone to dryness, so choose a foundation with high moisturizing power. In air-conditioned rooms, it is even more effective to use a foundation with a moisturizing base.
Techniques to make your makeup last longer
How to use a primer before applying makeup
Primers are an important item for making your makeup last longer. Using a primer evens out uneven skin tone and allows your foundation to adhere evenly. Take a small amount in your hand and spread it thinly over your entire face. Applying carefully, especially to the T-zone and around the nose, will help keep your foundation from coming off.
Tip : Using a primer will make your liquid foundation application even more effective.
How to use a setting spray
Using a setting spray to finish your makeup will make it much more durable. Spray lightly all over your face and avoid touching it until it dries. Setting spray prevents makeup from coming off due to sebum and sweat, and keeps your makeup looking beautiful for a long time.
Pro tip : "Using a setting spray will help your makeup stay in place all day."

Frequently asked questions
How to paint for beginners
A method that beginners can follow to avoid mistakes
When using liquid foundation for the first time, it is important to follow simple steps to avoid failure. First, prepare your skin thoroughly with skincare. If you moisturize your skin sufficiently, the foundation will spread evenly. Then, apply a small amount of foundation to five points on your face (forehead, both cheeks, nose, and chin).

Tip : By applying small amounts at a time, you can prevent the finish looking thick and even beginners can easily achieve a beautiful finish.
The first tools you should have
Here are three tools I recommend for beginners:
Sponge : Choose a soft, elastic type to make it easier to apply the product evenly.

Tips for achieving a porcelain skin finish
Tips for creating an even finish
If you want to achieve porcelain skin, it's important to apply foundation evenly. First, use a primer to smooth out any unevenness in your skin. Then, apply a thin layer of liquid foundation from the center of your face outwards. Use a sponge to ensure an even, streaky finish. Finally, lightly apply face powder to accentuate the smooth texture.
Tip : Using a damp sponge will help the foundation adhere better to your skin, creating a porcelain-like finish.
The difference between glossy and matte skin and how to achieve it
Glowing skin and matte skin each have their own unique appeal. To create a glowing skin, use a highly moisturizing primer and liquid foundation, and add highlighting as a finishing touch. On the other hand, if you want a matte skin, choose a primer and foundation with sebum control effects, and finish with face powder.
Glowing skin : Gives a natural glow and healthy appearance.
Matte skin : Reduces excess shine and creates a sophisticated look.
Professional advice : Using either glossy or matte finishes depending on your skin type and preferences will broaden the scope of your makeup looks.
