Facial texturing takes an understanding of cosmetics and your face.

Makeup can change your facial features, bringing your favorite features forward and hiding your least favorite spots. It's important to understand proper texturing to achieve the best results, though. Caring for the skin of your face will help make the texturing more effective. You must also choose the right concealer for your skin type to keep your skin looking its best after you texture it.

Examine your face to determine your trouble spots and what you would like to improve. Different foundations produce different texture results, so knowing what you want to improve on will tell you what foundation to apply.

2

Rub facial moisturizer onto your skin, paying special attention to dry areas. Allow the lotion to dry before you continue.

3

Apply a light layer of semi-transparent foundation if you want to even out your skin tone. This creates an even tint across your face while still allowing your natural glow to shine through the makeup.

4

Dab liquid foundation across your face if you have dry skin. The liquid foundation holds down flaky skin so it's less noticeable. Rub it onto your skin in a circular motion using a makeup sponge.

5

Cover up heavy facial damage using a creamy foundation to even out the rifts in your face. Place small beads of the foundation in deep scars on your face. Smooth the cream over your entire face to make your complexion smooth.

Tips & Warnings

Wash your face fully with makeup remover at the end of the day. The makeup can damage your skin by clogging your pores if you leave it on for too long.
