The first step in the preparation process is concealing. Dark circles underneath the eye must be concealed with a concealer with the same shade as your skin tone or a lighter one. To apply this, dab the concealer starting from the outer corner of the eye to the inner corner of the eye. This is to avoid stretching the sensitive area of the eye and maintain its firmness. Next, we move to the corrective process starting with the mauve base. This base is applied to dull and pale areas of the face, thus making the face appear brighter. After applying the first base, a second base is applied which is called the green base. This is to be applied to areas where redness and blemishes are located. Any type of corrective base may be used in the corrective process like liquid, cream, and pencil correctors.
After the corrective process has been accomplished and all blemishes are concealed, one must proceed to the application of foundation. To find a foundation that matches your skin tone, pour a pea-size amount of foundation on the palm of your hand and dab a small amount on your lower jaw, blending it completely. Once you have found the perfect shade, apply foundation to the entire face starting from your nose, going to the cheeks, the chin and temples, and between the brows. Using a damp sponge, blend the foundation from the face outwards. Move sponge from the cheeks, to the ears, from between the brows to the tip of the nose, from the chin towards the jaw then, blend it down to the neck. After blending, blot your face with a clean dry tissue. Apply
