Always remove makeup completely before retiring for the night in order to avoid blocking pores. Exfoliate regularly to prevent makeup caking on dead skin cells. Giving your skin a gentle scrub to remove those cells can help skin look more radiant, therefore requiring less makeup. Before you start applying makeup, apply a primer or simply a facial moisturizer. These help foundation absorb into the skin instead of sitting on top of the skin and looking less natural. Finish your makeup application with a light dusting of powder, which can tone down any overapplied color. When in doubt, ask a trusted friend or family member her opinion about your techniques. Getting an objective idea of how your makeup looks to others can help you tweak your look.
