Hi, I'm Stewart and I'm a makeup artist. Today, I'm going to show you how to apply makeup to oval faces. The tools that you're going to need, is foundation, a foundation brush, and a wedge sponge. Let's get started. The first step, is you're going to take your foundation and apply a little bit to your palm. Then, you're going to take your brush and dip it into the foundation. And then, lightly start at the interior of the face. Keep blending from the interior of the face, to the outer edge of the face, and blend out and downward. Make sure to get the crevices around your nose and at the top of your nose. You also want to make sure to blend underneath the eyes and over the eyelids. Then, you're going to take a little bit more foundation and start with the other side. Again, starting at the interior of the face, and moving outward. You're going to blend around the nose, underneath the eyes, and on the eyelids. Take a little bit more foundation, and work from the center of the face, downward. Making sure to stroke downward, so that you smooth out any hairs that might be on the face. Once you've blended the lower part of the face. You'll take a little bit more foundation, dip the brush, and start with the forehead. Making sure to blend outward, to the right and then, outward, to the left. Then, you want to take your brush, work down the temples. And again, bring the foundation to smooth down to the bottom of the face. You going to repeat on the right side, making sure to blend outward and down. Then, the last step, you want to make sure to get the jaw line, blending. And then, lightly stroke down the neck. The final step is to take the wedge sponge, and gently pat across the face. To move the foundation into the skin and make sure that it sets. Repeat this over the entire face and now, you're done. This is how to apply makeup for oval faces. The most important item, is the foundation. I'm Stewart, thanks for watching.
