Makeup Tip #9
This one was requested by xBornToFlyx.  She said that her liquid foundation looks kind of cakey and icky, and wants to know how to apply it to avoid this.

I always had trouble with liquid foundation, especially with my not so great skin.  First, use a daily moisturizer.  Foundation tends to cake more on dry skin.  Next, use a FOUNDATION BRUSH.  Do not use a sponge.  The foundation brush I use is by Clinique, but they can usually be bought at any drug store.  Squeeze a small amount of foundation onto the back of your hand (not the one you're holding the brush in).  This helps limit the amount you put on.  Apply a small amount to any area (forehead, cheeks, chin, etc.)  Use quick patting motions as you brush, rather than just sweeping it straight on.  Use a little, then see if you need more to avoid cakiness.  Don't use any more than you need to.

Another reason your foundation might be cakey is because of the quality.  I use Clinique Perfectly Real foundation (brand trend here? haha).  It's a little pricier, but I find that it covers smoothly and evenly.  It's really just a matter of trying different foundations out and seeing what works best for you.

Thanks xBornToFlyx, hope I helped!
