How to Apply Foundation Correctly for Beginners
How to apply make-up or foundation correctly so it looks completely natural and not painted on.
You want to use make-up, but you're not a makeup pro and don’t know how to apply it properly so it looks natural and not painted on? It’s very simple, here’s how to do it!
Once you’ve found the right make-up for you—in the right color, coverage, texture, and finish—you can get started right away. If you don’t have the right make-up yet, we recommend the Firming Make-Up.
It adapts to your skin tone and looks completely natural.
There are 3 ways to apply your make-up:
We wouldn’t recommend this because the face often looks like it’s been plastered on, and streaks often remain visible on the skin.
With a sponge
With your fingers
Makeup tip: Less is more! Often you get a better, more natural finish by using very little color. So start with a small amount and spread it well. You can always add more later.
There are many different types of sponges that all work quite well. The important thing is not to apply the make-up by dragging the sponge across the skin, but to press the color onto the skin with dabbing motions. This gives a very nice result. However, it takes a long time because you have to dab very carefully.
With your fingers
The third and easiest option is your fingers! They are the best tool for applying make-up! Why? Because it’s simply the fastest way in the morning. The warmth of your fingers helps blend the color very well, and with your fingers, you can reach all areas of your face easily, for example around the nose. Plus, you don’t have to buy a sponge, so you save money and don’t have to wash a sponge or brush, which can be time-consuming. Just wash your hands after applying, and you’re done.
First, put some make-up on the back of your hand so there isn’t too much color on your fingers. Then take a very small amount and apply the make-up starting from the center of your face—but not directly on the nose—and spread it outward and over the nose.
Now you can alternate between spreading and tapping. Where there are wrinkles and large pores, it’s best to tap and press the make-up in. On larger areas of the face like cheeks and forehead, you can simply spread the make-up.
Makeup tip: If you have strong facial hair, do not rub the make-up in circular motions like a cream. This causes the make-up to get under the hairs and stand them up, making them more visible. Instead, stroke from top to bottom. This lays the hairs flat against the skin and makes them less noticeable.
Then spread it nicely from the bridge of the nose over the T-zone and blend well up to the hairline. Then spread it down to the neck without taking more color.

We are often asked if you should apply make-up above the eyes.
If it’s not necessary, then don’t. Only if those areas have redness or spots should you apply a little make-up there.

Finally, tap the areas around the nose again and check the wrinkled areas around the eyes. Then blend the make-up downward so no edges are visible.
And your make-up is done! It’s that easy!
Tip: Use the Firming Make-Up. It’s a shade that adapts very well to the skin, leaves no lines on the face, covers beautifully, and still looks completely natural. It doesn’t stain a white blouse and feels very comfortable on the skin all day long.

@BEATE. S- Es kommt auf den Hauttyp an. Bei trockener Haut kann es hilfreich sein, vor dem Auftragen des Make-ups eine Tagescreme zu verwenden, um die Haut ausreichend zu pflegen und zu hydratisieren. Wenn deine Haut normal oder ölig ist, könnte es sein, dass du keine zusätzliche Feuchtigkeitscreme benötigst.

@MARIA HÖCKL Vielen Dank für dein Interesse an unseren COSLINE-Produkten. Wir haben dir eine E-Mail geschickt, in der du erfährst, wie du eine kostenlose Make-Up Probe von uns erhältst.

@IRMGARD SCHUERGERS Vielen Dank für dein positives Feedback zu den Produkten von Cosline! Um Lippenfältchen optimal zu kaschieren, empfehle ich dir, zunächst einmal ein Concealer oder eine feuchtigkeitsspendende Lippenpflege aufzutragen. Anschließend kannst du das Make-Up mit einem kleinen Pinsel oder einem Lippenpinsel auf die betroffene Stelle tupfen und sanft verblenden. Dadurch wird die Farbe gleichmäßig verteilt und die Fältchen werden weniger betont. Ich hoffe, das hilft dir weiter!
Liebe Grüße Cindy von COSLINE
Tag Cosline Team,
Ich bin schon lange auf der suche nach Schminkprodukten für meinen empfindliche und trockene Haut.
Ich habe schon lange trockene und empfindliche Haut, aber nach der Chemotherapie hat sich das ganze noch mehr verschlimmert.
Meine Frage an euch ist, ob ich
kleine Proben bekommen kann?
Schöne Grüße
Maria.
@Petra Abends kannst du unser Make-Up mit herkömmlichen Abschminkmitteln oder mit unserem sanften Reinigungsschaum abschminken.
Liebe Grüße

Hallo COSLINE Team, ich habe überlege ob ich das Firming Make up ab und zu benutzen soll, da ich keine Erfahrung mit Make up habe wollte ich fragen ob man es abends entfernen muss.? Danke für die Antwort. Gruß Petra Olbrich.
Bin sehr zufrieden mit allen Produkten von Cosline. Meine Frage zum Make-Up: Wie trage ich es am besten bei Lippenfaeltchen auf? Ganz ohne Make-Up ist die Stelle zu hell, mit Make-Up werden die Faeltchen betont. Liebe Grüße, ii.Schuergers
