- Apply a thin layer of day cream over which the foundation will be more evenly distributed and hold longer.
- Take a little foundation on a cosmetic brush and shade it with light strokes along the lines of applying the cream around the eyes.
- Apply a few points of the foundation on the wrist or on the face. According to customer reviews, the Yves Saint Laurent foundation with a dispenser is preferable in this regard, since it allows you to save the foundation as much as possible.
- Use a thin sponge to spread the thin layer of the product over the face with a thin layer, especially rubbing it carefully near the hairline.
