Makeup Quick Tip: Foundation

Best thing I learned this week from the Pixiwoos: Apparently the more you work MAC Face and Body Foundation (this is a pro product only, sorry), the more coverage it provides and the texture changes. 


I tested this out with my bottle (shade N2) using both my fingers and a buffing brush, and I see now what they mean! I think fingers actually worked better than the brush, but what happens is the foundation gets creamier and thicker and somehow covers better and gets less dewy. I swear it becomes totally invisible when fully worked into your skin. I also like the moist feel of it, even though it's water-based. 


I was feeling all stupid using Face and Body with a flat foundation brush or dabbing it on with a sponge and not getting much coverage out of it until I learned this trick. Now I see why pretty much every makeup pro has this in their kit!
