Secrets of a perfect complexion

With a brush

© Thierry Parant

Dip the very end of your brush into foundation dabbed on the back of your hand, like the artist that you are!

Apply bit by bit with little strokes, starting in the centre of the face. Work outwards, smoothing with your brush.

Expert tip : Wash and rinse your brush properly each time you use it.
