It’s not fall without a perfectly blended foundation line. Often referred to as underpainting, the technique smooths skin while avoiding those pesky foundation lines, with celebrities like Jennifer Lopez, Kendall Jenner, and Hailey Bieber following suit. After prepping the skin with your favorite hydrating moisturizers, apply concealer, highlighter, and a cream contour onto the skin. Finish with foundation as the last step in your makeup routine and watch those foundation lines disappear!
According to celebrity makeup artist Alexis Oakley, less is more. “Since you are applying your foundation after your contour, you want to be careful not to apply too much or anything too thick,” she explained to Real Simple in a guide to underpainting. “Otherwise it will completely cover up everything underneath.”
