    Default How Do You Wear Your Foundation?

    Ok, this has been a question I've been meaning to ask on here...I just kept forgetting! I want to know how you wear your foundation. I've read different things in magazines, but what I've seen most often is either:

    1) You wear it all over your face...somewhat like a "mask."

    -or-

    2) You use it on problem areas or a more "spot treatment" approach.

    I'm just curious which way is the "right" way because I've heard or read both at different times and in different places!

    I use a damp makeup sponge to cover the spots I need covered. No point in coating myself.

    I wear it all over, but I only wear makeup at work, or every once in a while when I go out.

    I wear it all over for work, but it's never mask-like. Tinted moisturizer for everyday.

    Well...I don't mean mask like noticeable or anything. Just that it goes all over your face and not just a few spots!

    Lightly all over. I don't really have any problem areas, I just do it as a good base for the rest of my makeup.

    I only wear makeup at work. I use a liquid foundation only (it's sheer) and apply small dots on my face and blend like crazy w/ my foundation brush.

    I wear mine all over. My everyday foundation's really light so I don't feel like I'm wearing a mask at all. My foundation for work is much heavier.

    when I wear foundation I wear it all over. Often times though I just wear tinted sunblock during the day and reserve foundation when going out or I just want to look a bit more polished during the day.

    I wear it all over because I like to even out my skintone. My foundation is also anti-aging, so I like to put it all over.

    Usually though I only wear sunscreen and a bit of concealer on my pimples for everyday.

    I voted 'all over your face'
    The way I use it: concealer on zits, etc... and usually in the daytime, nothing more than a powder to hide my oily nose and forehead. but going out, or work or whatever, i've got this foundation from MAC and I LOVE IT. It's called 'hyper-real' and it's shimmery. I don't use a lot of it, but for me, it seems to help the light reflect off of my face in a very flattering way. But I have to use it all over, otherwise the places it's not on look very dull. But it also looks great on camera!

    ^yeah the hyper-real is supposed to be the bomb for pics. But on me it turns my face to an oil slick. I still have my full bottle, I only used it once.

    ^ yeah, it can be kinda oily .. but i just don't use my normal moisturizer before i wear it .. i use a super-light one made for oily skin and that seems to help.

    If u wanna buy from MAC online, ! Although, I personally like to go into the dept. store to have someone make sure it's the perfect color, etc. And of course, to spend money I shouldn't be spending on whatever other fabulous things MAC has come out with lately!!

    I dot foundation on all over my face, then blend it in using a damp sponge. Then I go back with some concealer to any porblem spots. I have big pores on my cheeks and nose which I hate, and I feel like I gotta kind of spackle the holes.
    Then I blend the concealer with the damp sponge again.
