Foundation sets the stage for all the other players in your makeup routine. When applied correctly, foundation evens out your skin tone, conceals imperfections and gives you a natural-looking radiance. In the case of Estée Lauder's new Perfectionist Youth-Infusing Makeup SPF 25, it can even give your skin anti-aging benefits. When you properly apply your foundation, it enhances the rest of your look: Your lipstick appears more vibrant, your blush has more "pop" and your eye makeup looks more radiant.

To get the 411 on a flawless foundation application, we turned to Blair Patterson, director of global makeup artistry for Estée Lauder. He shared his expert tips and tricks for everything from choosing the right shade to making your flawless face last all day long.
