You start by applying a base. With Cake Make-up (covering) and Compact Powder(transparent) you can achieve a matt finish without having to powder off extra. In this example we are working with a base of Grimas Cake Make-up.
You apply Cake Make-up with a slightly damp make-up sponge. If you work with too much moisture, streaks will form. You can press the make-up sponge down onto a tissue to remove any excess moisture.
Take the make-up sponge between the fingertips and squeeze it together to create a round surface. With this surface the make-up can be applied.
First dab a little Cake Make-up onto the hand to check the colour intensity. Then apply it evenly from top to bottom.
Work the Cake Make-up out properly, up into the hairline, and do not forget the ears and neck. This is how you avoid a mask-like effect.
Cake Make-up dries quickly, so you need to work quickly to achieve a nice result. If the result is not even, turn the sponge that you worked with over and use the clean side to even out the make-up. Any stripes can be gently rubbed away with a soft tissue or cloth.
