Women Are Swapping Their Boring Water For This Ice Pop Electrolyte Mix!
Flawless foundation application for a youthful glow

Megan Luman, celebrity makeup artist and Mehron Senior Editor, told us a unique trick she uses on her clients for smooth foundation application that transforms them to look practically 10 years younger. It will help take years off your face instantly!

Step-by-step foundation technique for younger-looking skin

“One technique is to highlight and contour with 2-3 shades lighter and darker first,” said Luman. “It’s okay to create harder lines because the next step is to use a foundation color that matches the skin and buff it in a circular motion.”

Expert foundation tips for a fresh, youthful appearance

Next, it’s all about getting your hands on the right brush. “By using a dual fiber brush (usually black and white bristles), blends everything together making the highlights and contours look like they are actually coming from the bone structure of the face, not the makeup,” she said.

Foundation secrets to achieve a vibrant, youthful complexion

Then, setting powder is a must, no matter what age you are. “This technique gives a youthful appearance because it doesn’t look like they have a lot of makeup on.”

With these simple tips for flawless foundation application, your skin will be looking more youthful and even in no time!
