finger for the lightest
touch, and don’t tug on
delicate undereye areas,
Rizzieri instructs.
Expert tip: To get at fine
lines, use the point of your
brush.
To get perfectly even skin
the speedy way, use a
foundation stick.
It’s easy and gives you
plenty precise application.
We like Bobbi Brown
Foundation Stick . Try
Rizzieri’s technique:
Using the stick like a giant
marker, draw thick lines
down cheekbones, the
sides of your nose and
above brows, and blend
with your fingers. Want to
look a little more sunkissed? Before blending,
use a second stick that’s
two or three shades darker
in all the same places for a
streak-free glow (it looks
dark in the pictures, but
we promise it melts right
in). Mix both colors
together over your face
and down onto your neck
using your fingers—the
heat from your hands will
warm up the foundation
and help it glide.
Expert tip: Want lighter
coverage? Rub
moisturizer on your hands
before you blend for a
sheer, dewy finish.
If a pesky zit or mark is
still poking through, go
back and hide it with an
extra layer of concealer.
Use the same kind as in
step one (it worked for
Alice’s forehead scratch),
or try a cover-up that
contains salicylic acid,
like Almay Clear
