Beauty Tips / 09 Jul 2026
Hello, Implovers! Who here has ever been excited about makeup, but the result still easily transferred or doesn't blend well with the skin? It could be that the cause is not in the external product or the bold technique, but from your base makeup.
Yes, the right foundation base is not just about color or coverage. Skin type, application technique, and the finish you choose also play a significant role. Let's explore the tips one by one!
Before anything else, there is one important step that is often overlooked: moisturizing the skin first.
Just imagine a wet sponge vs. a dry sponge, which one absorbs easier? Well, hydrated skin works in the same way. Moisturizer for base makeup is not just optional, but a foundation for the next products to penetrate and blend better.
For this step, Implora 8+ Ceramide Skin Barrier Moisturizing Gel could be the right choice. Formulated with 8 types of ceramides, this gel provides extra moisture for up to 72 hours, strengthens the skin's protective barrier, and keeps it soft and smooth all day long. Its lightweight texture and quick absorption are suitable for all skin types, especially dry and dehydrated skin, without any greasy feeling at all.
Implovers, you need to know that just using a moisturizer for base makeup is not enough if the complexion product does not match your skin type. In general, there are two types of finish in base makeup:
Simple, right? Choose the one that suits your skin condition so that the result looks natural and long-lasting.
The application technique also determines the final result of the base makeup. Start from the center of the face, the sides of the nose, the center of the forehead, and the chin, then blend outwards slowly.
The key: avoid wiping or rubbing motions. Just gently tap to allow the product to blend with the skin without disrupting the layer that has formed.
One thing that often makes base makeup look thick and cakey is applying too much product at once. Start with a thin amount, then add gradually until you achieve the coverage you desire.
Don't forget, choose a shade that is closest to your skin tone so that your skin tone looks even and natural.
Now, this is the exciting part! After knowing your skin type and desired finish, just choose the right product.
For a dewy and glowing look, try Implora Healthy Glow Cushion. This cushion is suitable for dry, combination, and normal skin, with light to medium and even coverage. Formulated to maintain moisture throughout the day, the result is natural, radiant, and light on the skin, perfect for daily wear without feeling heavy.
For a clean matte look, Implora Even Better Liquid Foundation can be your go-to. The formula is light and buildable, so it can be adjusted to your desired coverage. Contains extracts of Pearl, Caviar, Collagen, and Aloe Vera to maintain skin moisture while providing a natural matte finish that doesn't just look thick, but still looks like real skin.
Now, you know, Implovers, how to maximize base makeup according to your skin type, right? Starting from choosing the right moisturizer as a base, determining the desired finish, to the correct application technique, all the details are important.
With the right steps, your makeup will last longer, blend perfectly, and of course, look flawless all day long. Happy Trying, Implovers!
