The Correct Way to Apply Liquid Foundation: Unlocking the Perfect Base from an OEM Factory Perspective
Steps, Tools & Tips for High-Quality Liquid Foundation—Avoid Cakey/Faded Makeup
2025-10-10
In the beauty industry, liquid foundation is a core product for creating a refined base makeup. The correct application method not only maximizes the foundation’s covering effect but also highlights the high-quality characteristics of the product. As an OEM factory focusing on producing high-quality cosmetics, we have a deep understanding of the advantages of our liquid foundation in terms of formula and texture, and we also know how to use scientific application methods to perfectly showcase these advantages, helping consumers easily unlock the perfect base makeup.
First, skin preparation before makeup is the foundation, which directly affects the adherence and longevity of the base makeup, and is also closely related to the adaptability of our OEM factory’s liquid foundation. Our liquid foundation is developed for different skin types: the exclusive formula for dry skin adds moisturizing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and ceramides, while the formula for oily skin focuses on oil control and freshness. Therefore, it is necessary to do a good job of skin care according to your own skin type before makeup: for dry skin, it is recommended to fully moisturize with a hydrating essence and lotion to create a moist base for the foundation. This avoids cakey and flaky makeup caused by dry skin and better exerts the moisturizing and skin-nourishing properties of our products; for oily skin, it is necessary to use an oil-control toner and a lightweight gel to reduce skin oil secretion, making our oil-control liquid foundation more adherent and extending the wear time. At the same time, applying a primer can further improve the foundation’s adhesion. We can also customize primer products to match the foundation according to brand needs, forming a base makeup combination to enhance the overall usage effect.
Next is tool selection. The right tools can give full play to the texture advantages of high-quality liquid foundation, which is also a supporting factor that our OEM factory considers during research and development. Currently, mainstream makeup tools include beauty sponges, foundation brushes, and fingers. Different tools are suitable for different skin types and foundation textures, and our products have undergone multi-tool testing during the research and development stage to ensure adaptability. Beauty sponges are soft and expand when wet, which can evenly spread the foundation and create a light and natural makeup effect. They are especially suitable for our liquid foundation with a focus on moisturizing and satin texture, avoiding damage to the delicate texture of the foundation due to hard tools, and are suitable for people pursuing a natural nude makeup look; foundation brushes are divided into flat-head, round-head, and angled-head types. Flat-head brushes can accurately control the amount of product and create a high-coverage makeup effect, which matches perfectly with our high-coverage liquid foundation, easily covering blemishes. Moreover, the brush surface design is suitable for the fluidity of the foundation, making it less likely to leave brush marks; applying makeup with fingers is suitable for emergencies or those pursuing extreme adherence. Our foundation has fine ingredients and good spreadability, so it can quickly blend with the skin after being warmed by fingers. However, it is necessary to clean the hands in advance to avoid bacteria affecting the skin and product use.
Then comes the core step of applying the foundation. This step needs to be combined with the characteristics of our OEM factory’s liquid foundation to achieve the best effect. Taking the right amount of foundation is crucial. Our liquid foundation has a precisely adjusted coverage and spreadability, so generally, an amount the size of a soy bean is enough to cover the entire face. Too much product can easily lead to a heavy makeup look. When dry skin uses our moisturizing liquid foundation, it is recommended to first dot the foundation on the forehead, cheeks, chin, nose, and other parts, then use a damp beauty sponge to gently pat and spread from the center of the face to the sides. Using the water absorption and softness of the beauty sponge, the foundation can be fully integrated with the skin, while locking in the moisturizing ingredients in the product to present a moist and shiny makeup effect; when oily skin uses our oil-control liquid foundation, it can use a flat-head foundation brush to spread along the skin texture from the inner part of the face to the outside. During the brushing process, the foundation can form a thin and even film, exerting the waterproof, sweat-resistant, and oil-control film-forming technology of our products to reduce oil secretion and makeup fading; for combination skin, it can be treated in different areas: use a foundation brush with oil-control liquid foundation on the T-zone, and a beauty sponge to apply moisturizing liquid foundation on the U-zone. Our factory can provide customized zoning foundation sets to meet diverse needs.
During the application process, detailed processing is also important, which can reflect the delicacy of high-quality liquid foundation and the production craftsmanship of our OEM factory. In detailed areas such as the nose wings, corners of the mouth, and around the eyes, our liquid foundation is more adherent to the skin due to its small molecular particle size. The tip of a beauty sponge can be used to gently press the nose wings to avoid foundation accumulation caused by skin folds; the corners of the mouth need to be first moisturized with lipstick, then a small amount of foundation is dipped with a foundation brush for thin application to prevent cakey makeup; the skin around the eyes is delicate, so it is recommended to use the finger pad to dip a small amount of foundation and gently dot it. Our products add soothing ingredients such as panthenol, which can reduce irritation to the skin around the eyes and evenly cover dark circles and dullness. In addition, a small amount of foundation also needs to be applied to the neck to ensure that the skin tone of the face and neck is uniform. Our foundation has a natural color tone that fits the skin tone of Asians, which can easily achieve skin tone transition and avoid obvious color differences.
Finally, setting the base makeup is the key to ensuring longevity, and it also complements the wear-resistant properties of our OEM factory’s liquid foundation. Our liquid foundation itself improves the wear resistance through high-molecular film-forming agents and microcapsule technology, and the setting step can further consolidate the effect. For dry skin, a light sweep of transparent loose powder can be used to avoid excessive setting products absorbing skin moisture and maintain the moisturizing makeup effect of our foundation; for oily skin, it is recommended to use a setting spray and spray evenly at a distance of 20-30 cm from the face to form a protective film. This works in synergy with our oil-control foundation to achieve 8-12 hours of long-lasting makeup. At the same time, we can also customize supporting setting products according to the needs of cooperative brands, forming a complete base makeup solution of "foundation + setting product" to enhance the competitiveness of the brand’s products.
As a professional high-quality cosmetic OEM factory, we are not only committed to researching and producing high-quality liquid foundation but also hope to help consumers fully experience the product value by sharing the correct application methods, and provide more comprehensive product use guidance and support for cooperative brands. In the future, we will continue to optimize the formula and texture of liquid foundation, combine consumers’ makeup application needs, and develop products that are easier to apply and more suitable for various tools and skin types, helping brands gain an advantage in the beauty market and allowing more people to have perfect base makeup through our products and scientific application methods.
