How to Apply Foundation
Cleanse the face thoroughly and
while still damp use your medium
shade for "a all.over foundation,
blending 1t with the fingertips from

Of the frock you expect to wear.
This medium shade. which Is pho-
Geographically correct, gives the skin
. warm. vibrant look. Now use your
highlishts or shades wherever they
are needed. The only thing to watch
out for Is margins. Sec that the two
makeup shades are always blended
into each other smoothly SO the
face will not look blotchy or artid-
cial.
Here are some common facial
flaws you can minimize by using
darker or lighter foundation. A
forehead that bulges can be made
less noticeable II shadow Ia applied
over Q two or three inch area In the

employing the same trick with q
