Hi, I'm Michelle Monaco, professional makeup artist. Today, we're going to learn how to do foundation for fair skin. What you're going to need is your foundation and a sponge. Let's get started. So the first thing we're going to use is our foundation. To do foundation all over the face you can always mix a little bit of lotion like I said in the beginning. Put a little bit of lotion in your foundation and then with a sponge you're going to go in there over the whole face. You mix the lotion in there sometimes if you're using a cream foundation because you don't want the cream to look too heavy if it's all over the face. And notice that I'm lightly dabbing it. I'm not doing streaks because you don't want streaks of makeup. You just want this motion. If you see anything too heavy, make sure you blend it out. It's really important when you go under the eyes that you're looking up and it's blended out. Eyes can get really cakey if you don't blend it out properly. The tools you're going to use for this look are foundation, a sponge, lotion or moisturizer. So this is how you apply foundation to fair skin. Thanks again for watching.
