Medium coverage foundation can really be whatever you want it to be. Whether it’s a light to medium coverage or for a full face of makeup, the key to applying a medium coverage foundation is patience and layering. If you’re looking for a more natural finish, use a face brush and apply a sheer layer of foundation, followed by a concealer on any problem areas like under the eyes or on blemishes. For a medium to full coverage foundation look, start with a primer to help smooth out the skin, and then layer the foundation on gradually, avoiding slathering on thick layers. You want to build thin layers and ensure that you are blending it in properly each time before adding more on top. Finish it off with a sheer powder foundation and apply it to the areas of your face that tend to gather oil.
