Well, I became a little bit confused lately because I have a friend who applies her liquid foundation thickly because she said she wants to totally cover her pimple scars and discolorations. The problem is, it's too thick that it would later cake out and it doesn't look natural anymore. Is that really how you apply foundation? To completely cover unwanted marks on your face? When I apply foundation, I only apply enough but it doesn't totally cover my scars because they're a bit hard to conceal completely, and I don't use concealer because I don't like the feeling of having too much makeup on my face. I think a girl should put that much foundation if she's going to a photoshoot, not for everyday wear. But am I the one who's wrong about it? No trash comments please. Thanks. ,")

You are not wrong, but she just may not know how to conceal imperfections any other way. There are a lot of products she can try that give full coverage without using too much product. The other thing she should invest in is a foundation primer. If she puts that on first it will help the foundation go on smoother and stay on longer. I use Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer, she should use the Green Smashbox Photo Finish Color Correcting Foundation Primer it will minimize her redness. Then, depending on how bad her blemishes are, she can use a concealer to spot treat, but make sure she blends. There are a couple of foundations I'll recommend. One that you can get at Wal-Mart or Walgreens (any store like that) is Maybelline Wonder Finish...they actually discontinued it, but it's still in stores... The other one is Bare Minerals, it's always a good coverage and never looks caked on. I actually use it myself.

NO!!!! do not wear foundation thickly.. it looks fake ugly ugly and UGLY!!!

take a new cotton pad or sponge.. pour a little foundation on your hand.. use the pad/sponge and kinda dip it in.. and apply on your face with circular motion..

Liquid foundation has a tendency to cake into those very things you are trying to cover. I prefer minerals, like Avon or Bareminerals (I use them both) they do not cake on and draw attention to the things you are trying to disguise, and it looks much more natural. If I ever do use Liquid (eek) I use a sponge to apply, as it makes the foundation go on smoother and more even. Tell your friend that less is more. It took me a while to learn and become confident with that, but it's true.
