It is always a good idea to test foundations before you purchase them. When applying foundation to the client, make sure you have checked the foundation colour in natural lighting.

Once you have applied the foundation and setting powder/spray (if needed), the next step is to apply concealer. Concealer is similar to foundation, except it is usually a thinner consistency.

Contouring is blending a lighter shade of makeup on certain parts of your face to bring attention to them.

In contrast, highlighting defines and shapes the structure of the face by creating shadows and angles. Well placed highlighter can add structure, dimension and symmetry to one’s features.
