Warm up Your Foundation
Warm up Your Foundation Don't apply your base straight from the tube onto your face. "I always put foundation on the back of my hand first and allow the warmth of my skin to transfer to the foundation," says celebrity makeup artist and creator of Surratt Beauty, Troy Surratt. "It's similar to buttering toast. If you put butter on toast right out of the refrigerator, it doesn't spread well, but if you allow it to warm up a bit, it melts right into the bread. If you allow the foundation to warm up a bit first, it melts right into the skin."
