Women Are Swapping Their Boring Water For This Ice Pop Electrolyte Mix!

Let’s be honest, we all have peach fuzz on our faces…unless you shave or thread your entire face. Peach fuzz is an enemy of liquid foundation and if you don’t apply your foundation correctly you can look, well, hairy. Fortunately, when we stopped by Birchbox SoHo to take a makeup class, we learned a really simple technique for applying foundation.

Floor manager and makeup artist, Shain Kish, says, “When dealing with peach fuzz, the most effective thing you can do is apply foundation with your fingers against the grain of your hair, then go back over with a brush to push the hairs back into their natural pattern. This technique works like double stick tape – it adheres the hair to the face really well!”
