Applying foundation
Applying foundation The Fail: If you haven't jumped on the BB cream train just yet, you're probably still in the classic makeup routine: cleanser, toner, moisturizer, foundation. But the timing of the final step in this routine could make or break your entire look for the rest of the day. We tend to apply foundation too soon, before the moisturizer has enough time to seep into the skin. The end result? Blotchy, spotty coverage. Why even bother?

The Fix: Wait at least 60 seconds after moisturizing to ensure that the product is fully dried before applying your foundation. Can't spare that extra minute? Blot your face with a tissue post-moisturizing and proceed.
