A great deal of coverage is provided by pancake makeup, which is a type of thick, heavy, oil- and wax-based foundation makeup.It is usually only used for theatrical performances by people who are going to appear on stage or screen, such as models and actors.Because pancake makeup creates a water-resistant finish, it can also be used by people with very oily skin, and it won't be affected by sweat.This type of makeup can be difficult to use at first, but the secret to perfect coverage is using the right amount of water and proper blend.
Step 1: Wet your sponge.
The makeup should be applied with a dense sponge and activated with water.The great thing about pancake makeup is that you can change the amount of coverage you get by adding more or less water.If you want to have regular coverage, soak your sponge with water and squeeze out the excess.If you want to give it a gentle squeeze, soak the sponge.Too much water can lead to an even finish and streaks.You can use a shade that is two or three shades lighter than your skin tone if you use pancake makeup.
Step 2: The sponge should be rubbed into the makeup.
Use gentle pressure to apply makeup to one side of the sponge.The weight of the water will press the sponge into the makeup enough to pick up the right amount.
Step 3: The makeup should be applied to your face.
Apply the makeup to your face with the amount of pancake you have on the sponge.Before you go back for more, make sure to cover as much of your face as possible.Continue covering your face when you run out by rubbing the sponge into your makeup again.The pancake should be applied to your face, cheeks, nose, forehead, and even eyelid.If you're using thick coverage in a shade that's noticeably different from your natural skin tone, also cover your entire throat and neck as far back as your ears.Light strokes can be used to apply a thin layer of pancake.Don't apply too much or too little product when applying your foundation.You will get a better color payoff if you use high-quality products.
Step 4: The makeup should be blended.
When you have covered your face, squeeze the excess water from the sponge and turn it to the clean side.Use gentle pressure to apply makeup.Don't forget the corners of your eyes, nose, and mouth.Make the coverage even and remove streaks when you blend.
Step 5: Let the makeup dry.
Give the makeup a few moments to dry after you blend it.If you're going for lighter coverage, blot your face with a cloth or tissue while it's still moist to absorb excess makeup and water.
Step 6: Take care of your face.
To apply a thin layer of setting, finishing, or foundation powder over the pancake, use a brush, puff, and clean sponge.Remove excess powder by buffing the face with a sponge.Before applying powder, make sure the pancake is completely dry.
Step 7: Understand how you are shaped.
It is possible to highlight and de-emphasize certain features by applying darker and lighter makeup to different areas of your face.If you want to make your face look longer and thinner, you can use darker makeup under your cheekbones.Lighter makeup on top of your face makes them stand out.Both types of makeup can be used to make your face look narrower.Make your eyes bigger.
Step 8: Pick out your makeup colors.
The process of applying pancake makeup is the same as with regular foundation, only you use multiple colors to highlight and shade different features.You will need pancake makeup that matches your skin tone, pancake for highlighting, and pancake that is darker in color.Make sure you match your foundation with your skin tone.If you use a neutral-cool foundation with a pink undertone, it will oxidize and look yellow on your skin.Pick a shade that is a couple shades darker than your regular pancake.If you want a lighter pancake, opt for one that is a couple shades lighter.If you want the pancake to cover red or dark spots, choose a greenish shade.
Step 9: Take care of your face.
You can wash your face with a gentle cleanser.Don't use an oil-free product on your face.The moisturizer should be absorbed for about five minutes.If there's water, oil, dirt, or sweat on your face, pancake makeup won't adhere to your skin properly, which is why you have to start with clean and oil-free skin.
Step 10: It's important to make your face stand out.
If you want to make your face look smaller, you can use a different method.When you apply pancake makeup, you will have to blend it all in once you're done, so be sure to remember that.Using a thin makeup sponge that is damp with water, apply: A thin line of highlighter pancake above the cheekbone, from the middle of your cheek to the spot where your eyebrow ends.A line of pancake from the ear to the corner of the mouth.The line should not be extended beyond where your student is.Use a separate sponge for each color.
Step 11: Give yourself a chiselled face.
This can give you more definition around your jaw.To apply the pancake to the area under the jawline, use the sponge and darker pancake.On both sides of your face, start at your ear and follow the jawline all the way to your chin.If you want to make your chin look narrower, you have to taper the makeup so that you don't follow the curve of the chin.If you want to hide fat under the chin, follow the jaw with a pancake.
Step 12: Make your nose look smaller.
From between your eyebrows to the tip of your nose, apply a line of highlighter pancake.Draw a line from the inner end of each eyebrow to the tip of your nose with the darker pancake.The makeup should be slightly inward at the tip of your nose.
Step 13: You should give your forehead more definition.
Just below your hair line, apply a thin line of makeup to your forehead.The line should be thicker above the natural curve of your eyebrows.
Step 14: Other features should pop.
It is possible to make other features stand out by applying a small amount of highlighter.A small V shape is drawn in between your eyebrows, and a circle of highlighter is put at the top of your upper lip.To make your eyes pop, apply a semicircle of highlighter under each eye.
Step 15: The regular pancake can be applied.
If you want to apply your regular pancake to the rest of your face, you have to use a regular makeup sponge.When you're done, turn the sponge over and use it to blend the makeup to make it look good.
Step 16: You should apply a powder.
Allow the pancake to dry and then apply a finishing, setting, or foundation powder over top after you blend the three colors together.To blend the powder in, use the brush or sponge.
