Achieving a flawless base is the foundation (pun intended) of any great makeup look. Laura Geller’s range of foundations and concealers are designed to provide a smooth, even complexion that looks natural and radiant. In this article, we’ll guide you through the steps to achieve a flawless base using Laura Geller products.
Step 1: Prep Your Skin
Before applying any makeup, it’s essential to prep your skin to ensure a smooth application and long-lasting wear. Here’s how to start:
Cleanse: Begin with a clean face to remove any dirt, oil, and impurities.
Moisturize: Hydrate your skin with a good moisturizer to keep it plump and smooth.
Prime: Apply Laura Geller’s Spackle Primer to create a smooth canvas for your foundation. The primer helps to blur imperfections and extend the wear of your makeup.
Step 2: Choose the Right Foundation
Laura Geller offers a variety of foundations to suit different skin types and preferences. Here’s a quick guide to help you choose the right one:
Baked Balance-n-Brighten Foundation: Ideal for all skin types, this baked powder foundation provides buildable coverage with a natural, radiant finish.
Baked Liquid Radiance Foundation: For those who prefer a liquid formula, this foundation offers a dewy, luminous finish and hydrates the skin.
Filter First Luminous Foundation: This foundation provides a soft-focus effect, perfect for achieving a flawless, airbrushed look.
Step 3: Apply Foundation
Follow these steps to apply your foundation for a flawless base:
Dispense Product: If using a liquid foundation, dispense a small amount onto the back of your hand. For powder foundations, swirl a fluffy brush into the product.
Apply in Sections: Start applying the foundation in sections, beginning from the center of your face and blending outwards. Use a brush, sponge, or your fingers, depending on your preference.
Blend: Ensure you blend the foundation well into your skin, paying attention to the jawline and hairline to avoid harsh lines.
Step 4: Conceal Imperfections
Laura Geller’s concealers are perfect for hiding dark circles, blemishes, and other imperfections. Here’s how to use them effectively:
Choose the Right Shade: Select a concealer shade that matches your foundation or is slightly lighter for brightening under the eyes.
Apply: Use a small amount of concealer and apply it to areas that need extra coverage. Common areas include under the eyes, around the nose, and on blemishes.
Blend: Gently blend the concealer into your skin using your fingers, a brush, or a sponge. Make sure the edges are well blended to avoid visible lines.
Step 5: Set Your Makeup
To ensure your makeup stays in place all day, set your foundation and concealer with a light dusting of powder:
Translucent Powder: Use a translucent powder to set your makeup without altering the color. Lightly dust it over your face with a fluffy brush, focusing on areas that tend to get oily.
Setting Spray: For extra staying power, use a setting spray to lock in your makeup and keep it looking fresh.
Step 6: Finish with a Natural Glow
Complete your flawless base with a touch of highlighter to add a natural glow:
Baked Gelato Swirl Illuminator: Apply this highlighter to the high points of your face, such as the cheekbones, brow bones, and the bridge of your nose. The subtle shimmer adds a radiant finish to your look.
