The following six tips will guarantee you that standout look you're after. But remember, making your face look special doesn't mean it needs to look cheap and gawdy. You want to look fresh and flirty, not old and trampy.

First, you need to commence with a light liquid foundation, nothing too heavy or too murky. Stick with a color that compliments your skin tone. Going darker doesn't gain you look tanned, just colorblind. Apply it evenly, blending upward and outward. Don't forget to blend it around your chin and neck.
