How to UseApply the desired amount of foundation to the palm of your hand. Dot foundation to five points (forehead, nose, chin, and both cheeks) on the face with your fingertip. Starting at the center of your face, blend outward with the brush, holding it perpendicular to the skin and using light tapping motions. Working outward, blend foundation into skin, holding the brush at a slight angle. Repeat the same steps on the other side of your face. Along the facial outline, stroke the brush in a light up-and-down motion to blend flawlessly. For less-than-smooth areas, such as the nose and corners of the mouth, apply foundation holding the brush perpendicular to the face so that the brush tip fits against the skin. With the tip of the brush pointed upward, lightly slide the brush inward along the cheekbone and the jawline.
