Apply moisturizer before foundation. Wait for ten minutes to allow the skin to absorb it. Cover flaws like pigmented patches with a foundation, or concealer that is a shade lighter than your skin tone. Use a creamy foundation diluted with a drop of water for lighter and smoother coverage. While choosing foundations go for beige or golden tones, avoid pinks. Avoid powders if your skin is dry, but apply a soft shade blusher on the cheekbones.
