3D Foundation: Your Questions Answered!

3D foundation. You may have heard this makeup term floating around and wondered what in the world it is! What is 3D foundation? You’ve come to the right place because here are your questions answered!

What is 3D Foundation?

Before I explain what 3D foundation is, I need to first tell you what it isn’t. It’s not a liquid or powder foundation that you plop on your entire face to get a flat lifeless finish. What it is, is a cream foundation that gives life, shape, and movement to your face! 3D foundation is meant to give you a 3D look! When you use one foundation color it flattens your face out. It takes away the natural shadows and curves and colors of your face. 3D foundation brings back that beauty!

3D foundation consists of 4 products: highlight (foundation), contour, blush, and illuminator. Each individual product is a foundation. Each provides coverage. But instead of putting 4 layers of makeup on your face to get a crazy caked look, you only apply each color where you need it. This gives your face a beautiful fresh look!

How Do Apply It?

Oh girl, it is so easy! Because it’s cream makeup, it’s so forgiving and foolproof! You can apply it either with your fingers and blend with a brush or you can apply it with a brush or brushes.

Do you know those paint by number coloring books? Think of your makeup application like that! You will apply your highlight foundation under your eyes, on your nose, on your chin, along your lower cheek/jaw area, and forehead. Apply your contour along your cheekbones, along your jawline, along your hairline, and along the sides of your nose. Apply your blush color on the apples of your cheeks. Apply your illuminator on top of your cheekbones. And then blend baby blend! You will be amazed at how much shape and dimension your face gets!

It really is so important to have the right brushes though! Your application can be a deal breaker with a bad brush. So make sure to use the brushes that are made for this makeup! You can see them HERE!
