To use wet and dry foundation, you apply it dry for lighter coverage or with a damp sponge for fuller coverage.
Here's a breakdown:
Using Foundation Dry:
- Application: Apply the foundation using a dry sponge or brush.
- Coverage: This method provides lighter, more natural-looking coverage. It's suitable for evening out skin tone and minimizing minor imperfections.
- Best For: Everyday wear, people with generally clear skin, or those who prefer a natural makeup look.
Using Foundation Wet:
- Application: Dampen a makeup sponge (like a Beautyblender) with water. Squeeze out any excess water so the sponge is damp, not soaking wet. Then, apply the foundation by pressing the sponge evenly onto your skin.
- Coverage: Using a damp sponge gives you fuller coverage, helping to conceal blemishes, redness, and uneven skin tone.
- Best For: Occasions when you want more coverage, people with acne or other skin concerns, or those who prefer a more polished makeup look.
Key Considerations:
- Blending: Regardless of whether you use the foundation wet or dry, blend well for a seamless finish.
- Application Technique: Use pressing motions rather than dragging or swiping when applying wet.
- Product Build-Up: Be mindful of product build-up, especially when applying wet. Start with a small amount of product and build up coverage as needed.
