How to Apply Stick Foundation

Stick foundations are the best for the ones who do not want to devote a handful of their routine to the makeup. I belong to this class. The Olivia stick foundations can be used directly on the face and do not require any brushes or sponge. Moreover, the same product will work as a concealer. If you are a traveller or in any way wants to use the stick foundation, here you can find the perfect tips for applying it.

Step-1 Prepare the face

Begin with making a look ready for the makeup. Use a suitable cleanser to remove the unseen traces of the composition. Moreover, make a habit of always removing the makeup with makeup remover (not face wash) before sleeping at night. Always keep your hands clean before using them on the face.

Step-2 Moisturize the skin

A little moisturizer can help in spreading the foundation effectively as it is challenging to cover the face with a solid stick, unlike liquid or cream foundations. Choose a lightweight moisturizer according to your skin texture.

Step-3 The need for applying primer

Do you feel that your foundation becomes flaky after some time of application? If yes, then the primer is the solution. It will cover the dry spots by hydrating the skin.

Step-4 Apply foundation

Choose foundation sticks wisely, the one which matches your skin tone. Turn out the minimal amount of stick outwards with which the foundation can be applied easily. You can also sanitize the tip of the stick with face cleansing wipes.

 Start swiping the stick in a dotted way all through the face-covering the bridge of the nose, under eyes, chin, cheeks, and jawline.

Step-5 Start blending

Use your fingertips to spread the foundation from the centre to the outwards. Blend more to give a natural look. Check for neck and hairline to make sure makeup ends are not forbidden. Lastly, set the foundation with powder and complete the ongoing makeup.
