10 New Makeup Tricks to Instantly Give You a Youthful Glow

While we're on the topic of foundations, let's discuss how to apply it. "Foundation should always be diffused and sit on the skin lightly, instead of a thick layer," said makeup artist Patrick Ta, who's worked with celebs like Gigi Hadid, Blake Lively, and Shay Mitchell. "Apply your foundation with a stippling brush, and blend in with a damp Beautyblender ($16) to diffuse any fine lines. This makes the application look as natural and flawless as possible."

Ta added that you can even add a drop or two of your favorite face oil with your foundation to create more hydration and luminosity.
