Try walking in the streets, people are definitely going to judge you based on how you look. It is very important that how you present yourself in our daily life.
So for this we have to remember simple simple thinks. How to do simple makeup without much effort. So Lekshmi Menon is here. She is a very good... a very expert
in self makeup section. So today she is going to teach us different methods of putting foundations. So let us take a look at it.
Hello everyone. Welcome back to yet another episode of Penazhuk. Today we will be showing different methods of applying the foundations. For many
foundations are confusing because there are many brushes, many tools available in market. Many don't know how to apply foundations.
Often, on online bloggers advice many different things. When we go to shops others advice different things. So often we dont know what to do. Similarly,
most of us use their fingers to apply foundation. Today, I will be explaining the different brushes available in the market and their usage.
Firstly, I am going through the traditional way, that is using our fingers. Using our fingers we can apply the product.
However if you don't know to blend properly, there is chances of patching. The heat in our fingers help the product to spread on the skin.
Even today, old makeup artists use their fingers to apply. But for consumers like us,
the easy way is brushes. Today I will be showing the different brushes available in the market. Firstly, I will educate you about flat foundation brush.
This is how it looks. Both sides will be flat. This can be synthetic or natural hair. This
brush was commonly used by many old makeup artists. We mostly come across this brush as foundation brush. The purpose
of this brush is same as paint brush. We take the product and just like painting we apply it. We get the full coverage of product, especially
for someone with pigmentations and marks. For them, they have to apply the product with full coverage. Using this product,
liquid foundations can be applied and we get the finish with full coverage. The preference of this brush is low for today's makeup artists. Because today everyone loves
HD natural finish. For that, the coverage from this brush is more. Now, second brush I am showing is this type of brush. I am personally use this type of brush.
The name of this brush is stippling brush. If you pay attention, you can see 2 colours. its duo fibre.
Its a mixture of natural hair and synthetic hair.Upper layer is synthetic and lower layer is black natural hair. Lower layer is dense
and upper layer is light. When you look inside, this brush have lot of gap inside.The name of this brush is Stipplying brush. Stipplying means
doting motion.
I won't recommend this brush for a person with dry skin because the dry patches can come up on using this brush.
This brush is good for oily and normal skin. Today, some makeup artist, apply the product using flat foundation brush and for natural,
airbrush finishing they blend the foundation with rotating motion using stippling brush. If we use brush, our foundation routine will become easier.
We should hold the brush exactly like we hold a pen. Leave some gap. Just rotate all over the skin
and you can blend it beautifully. The third type of brush I am going to teach you is buffing brush. This is how a buffing brush looks. We get
lot of buffing brushes in market. As compared with stippyling brush, it is very dense; densely packed hair. With buffing brush,
we can apply cream, powder, gel,..like products on the face. We get a natural finish if we use buffing
brush. I advice my students in class to use buffing brush as a beginner. Because it make it easy to get beautiful finishing.
We get this brush from lot of brands. This is another brand's buffing brush. See this, its tightly packed bristles.
So you can see the difference of these 2 brushes.One is very light and other is very tight, this is buffing brush. Even you are a
beginner you can buy this brush and blend the product easily and beautifully. You can finish you foundation routine in 10-30 sec.
Similarly if you apply down the neck like this, you can blend your foundation along the neck also. It can also use to blend the foundation to your ears also. This is an easy method,
buffing brush. Now I am going to show you beauty blenders. Beauty blenders are like sponges which are available to buy. It is available in plenty
but original ones are very expensive and are not affordable by most consumers. It cost Rs 2000/- Rs 3000/- per sponge for Beauty Blender.
There are other brands for Beauty Blenders which are affordable and gives good finishing. The only problem
is that it get expired after 3-4 months. Hold it under the tap water and use it. It expands
and push it against your face like this. This is how to apply the product. It helps to blend easily. The water content helps the product to blend
and excess product will be soaked. This sponge will help for dewy luminous finish.
It will last only for 3-4 months because after that there will be mold in the sponge and will expire. So be careful and change this after 3-4 months.
Finally I am going to show you disposable veg sponge. This has been used by many makeup artist.
Its in the shape of wedge, just like a wedge heel shoes. It is disposable. Just like beauty blenders, we use this after dipping it in the water.
But it is only for single use. It has to be disposed after one use. It is good for many artist as they have many clients.
You can buy them in packets. If you come across such packets, you can buy them but dispose it after single use. You can press
your products or concealer with this sponge for beautiful finishing. It can even help you to set your power with this flat edge.
So these are the different methods of applying foundation. If you go in a market or a supermarket or a cosmetic store,
you will come across different tools. You have understood how to use these brushes. You can buy them according to your convenience and budget.
Until next time, I will see you very soon. Bye Bye.
