Summarize the following:
If you don't want a heavy layer of foundation on your face, then try mixing a small amount of your foundation with an equal amount of moisturizer. Blend these together and then apply the foundation/moisturizer mixture to your face. If you are unsure about how much foundation you want to apply, then try applying your foundation in layers. Start with just a light layer of cream foundation and then add another layer or two if the coverage is not heavy enough for you. You can also apply a thin layer for all over coverage and then go back in and apply more cream foundation to areas that need more coverage. For example, if you have any redness, dark circles, or blemishes, then you could apply a little extra cream foundation to these areas. Cream foundation provides moderate to full coverage depending on how you apply it, so you may not need to use a powder foundation at all. However, if desired, you can apply a layer of powder foundation after you finish applying your cream foundation. Use a brush to sweep the powder foundation over your skin. Powder foundation can help to set the cream foundation and provide matte coverage as well.
Blend with moisturizer for light coverage. Apply in thin layers to build up coverage. Add foundation to areas that require more coverage. Use powder foundation for additional matte coverage (optional).
