What order do you apply these products? Perfecting base first; then the concealer and lastly the foundation?

I was told by a cosmetician who worked in a CVS store where she worked only as an employee in the beauty department that application is as follows: moisturizer (example Olay Complete), then Loreal Secret's primer, then Foundation (like Revlon Anti-wrinkle foundation). Seems to me all these anti-wrinkle products came only after Revlon started the anti-wrinkle foundation in different skin tone colors.

For applying it's important to make sure you're face and washed properly and moisturized, then you apply the primer first, and then you proceed to apply your foundation. Hope this helps.

I start with a clean face, apply moisturizer - let that dry - then apply the perfecting base, concealer, and lastly foundations. Sometimes I follow with a light layer of powder.

I use the perfecting base first, then I use a bb cream, then concealer if I need it. The base always goes first (and of course you can wear the base alone)

Primer first but if you want to do conceal or then foundation that's fine but most foundations provide full coverage as well as most concealers so sometimes you can just use a conceal or as your foundation and use a setting powder to set it so that it will not crease or produce oil.

yes...perfecting base is a primer. so you apply any serum you might use, sunscreen and moisturizer first, then Perfecting base which is a primer and closes the pours, then all your makeup.

Answer here...With the Pur Mineral chisel brush. I make sure to tap out an extra powder before applying the brugh is circular motions. I also put my cover up first and then I blend and even out my face with this powder. I love this product and have been using it since high school.

I use the foundation and then top it off with mineral veil. It isn't for coverage.

Always after washing. It's a serum. Serums go on your skin first. Let sit on skin 30 sec or so, then apply moisturizer. If you use a toner, then tone before serum and apply while still damp. And then moisturizer.

First I take my beautyblender, and pump one pump of liquid foundation. Then I but the foundation on my forehead, nose, chin and cheeks and just blend it out with my real techniques expert brush :)

yes it is very cheap I use the bottom for blending my foundation, and the point part for concealer, wash them with mixture of grapeseed oil and baby shampoo, rinse, rinse again in plastic bowl with cool water and teaspoon white vinegar rinse again, and then blot, and let air dry! They are firmer than beauty blender!

Hi. It works all in one for me. Use it as a base before using foundation. This isn't greasy and oily, so it creates a great weightless feel, which is what I want for my skin type. Hope this helps.

IMHO :) the travel essential has one for handling the eyes quickly (the violet one), a flat one for liquid foundation and concealer, and a fluffy big one for anything powder. If you don't use concealer, then your foundation brush will be used with one product alone. Then the big fluffy one would be used for powder and blush. So I guess it would just take a bit of paying attention to not still have blush on it the second time you use it, otherwise the powdering may render something weird :). Basically with 3 brushes you can cover your whole face (the eyes one may be a bit too big for precision stuff, but you can work it just fine ). The 4 brush set allows you to have separate brushes for foundation, concealer, blush and powder. And not use the same one for two products. I guess you can choose based on - how often you clean them (I'd say clean them more often if you mix two products on one) - how much product you use (i just buff a bit of powder and often use the blush one in the Core collection for blush afterwards since I only put a bit on...then I give it a good wipe on a dry cotton or something, I wash it once a week) - if you care having the tiny concealer one You'd have 3 brushes not 4, with a bit fluffy one for powders, or you could have 4 brushes for liquid and powders and a wider range of use (the detailer one is quite small and stiff for the eyes so the choice is up to you) I'm going to stop here now :) whichever the choice may be, the fluffiness is the best payoff :) If I had 0 brushes, I'd pick the travel essentials to cover all areas better I guess.

Yes, I use it every day under my normal foundation. When you first apply it, you think it is going to be oily, but it absorbs in just a couple of minutes. I find that it lets me use less foundation. I do apply a light coating of powder afterwards, and before applying powder blush. If you were using a liquid blush, I would suggest applying it prior to powder.

You can use it with either a moisturizer or a wrinkle cream; however, I would recommend letting the moisturizer dry completely before applying the foundation. I have noticed that my eye wrinkle cream (which is a bit oily) does make the concealer a thinner consistency and tends to make the makeup streak. But all in all this foundation is very thick and allows for adequate coverage!

I use this product every morning and evening. I use one pump and let it dry entirely. Then I apply either a moisturizer or BB cream and makeup. I hope this helps.

The way I recommend applying liquid foundation is to first dab some on your face and then going over it with your brush. Dab some foundation on your forehead, cheeks, chin and very small amounts on your nose and under your chin to blend the makeup with your neck. Then grab your brush and while pressing done firmly on the brush go in small circles to blend in the makeup until you barely notice it on your face. If you think that you need more coverage add small amounts at a time and not large so the makeup doesn't look cakey. To stripple the makeup on refers to the brush and how the hairs on it are formed to give you an airbrush finish with your makeup.

Please put the foundation on first and then the therapy. You don't need a basecoat. the foundation and therapy are your basecoat. I have tried putting on two coats of each, but have found the polish will peel. Try one coat of foundation, one coat of therapy, and up to two coats of polish. If you have a polish that only requires one coat, that is great. When all of this dries well, I will put on a fast drying topcoat. You may not even need to to this until one or two says later. I found out that if I [and it may not work for you] do it this way, less chipping and having to redo. Best of luck!

I have been told to always use a serum first, thinner consistency Products go under the thicker ones. Serum, then moisturizer with sunscreen and finally make-up.

I'm the same way. It definitely blurs them and makes them less "oh snap, you've got adorable freckles!" than I enjoyed, but it didn't cover them entirely. I don't mean to plug another product here, but after years and years I just ended up using the Bare Escentuals (sp?) mineral veil with SPF 30 mixed with the original foundation. The mixing is important: it takes away the thickness of the foundation but is still weirdly sheer, so it evens my complexion without covering up my freckles. Took a couple of tries to get the ratios right, but hand to God, it's perfect.
