As the skin ages, it can be more prone to dryness and texture in the form of fine lines. A heavy foundation can accentuate this, and make for an unflattering finish. But many of us enjoy wearing foundation, and don't want to forgo it when doing our makeup.
The solution? A lighter weight, more hydrating formula. There are many great options on the market for foundations that will never feel heavy and cakey. Choosing the right product, and following some simple application guidelines, could be the key to your best ever base makeup.

Instructions
1. Take just one pump of your foundation of choice to begin with. Using less product will give a more natural, flattering finish.

2. Apply the foundation to your face with a flat top kabuki brush. Go for a stippling, rather than a swiping, motion, for a more subtle effect.
3. Use the same dabbing technique to apply your concealer with the smaller kabuki brush.
4. Use a small amount of powder on a fluffy brush to set the makeup in place without making it look too heavy or matte. Focus on areas with fine lines, as this can stop the makeup settling in an accentuating texture.
