How To Create Dimension & Definition With Foundation

*This video does not reflect my current hygiene practices for makeup application. If you are a makeup artist and would like more information on infection prevention and control, you can check out my online course: ‘Infection Prevention and Control for Makeup Artists’

This is a technique that I love to use regularly when I am applying foundation on my clients. Once you figure out your client's undertone and the right foundation you can take foundation that is one or two shades deeper and naturally sculpt their face using this technique.
A couple of viewers have been commenting about the audio in my last video. I have uploaded this video again and made some adjustments, hopefully you can hear what i'm saying

Your lessons are absolutely priceless!!! Have you considered teaching in a beauty school??? Students need teachers like you!

[@DemetriaStory]

Ms Kate I want to do a one on one with her so bad!

[@sofiaa8505]

I finally found the best makeup artist in yt! THANK YOU!

[@1607priyanka]

You are amazingggg ♥️

[@chezayesha6519]

You’re the real stuff! So happy to have discovered your channel and it’s great that you’re a fellow Torontonian 😬 I just had a quick question about the brush usage on dry skin because sometimes all the blending makes the flakes come out.

[@AngieDiB]

Hi Chez! I think you are asking if I would buff the foundation on, on a dry flaky skin? If so, I would use the same technique but my skin prep would involve a slight exfoliation and moisture mask if that was the case. However it really depends on the individual client.

[@MsBeauTIFFull]

You are awesome! I’ve subscribed and have been binge watching your videos. They are so helpful and informative. Thanks for sharing!

[@thesweetlifeofgbaee]

can you do a video on the benefits to using a sponge v. a foundation brush and the best techniques on how to apply. I've realized a wet sponge can be better on dry/dehydrated skin but maybe that's just me. But i'd love that tutorial

[@cassierobertson6157]

This answers my question exactly on your last video about swatching foundation. I also appreciated seeing a combination skin prep. Thank you, Angie!

[@memoirsofaprincess]

Omg! This is what we need! Please include information like this in your mentorship program! These are the things you usually have to learn from years of experience (trial and error) unless you get it from a mentor!

[@silviachanas2255]

Thanks for Sharing this technique. You really are a Mentor please consider teaching or having a workshop, We need Teachers like you.

[@cookeaz304]

Hi angie ...i feel you are better than much other trainers .Throw some videos on Krylon also..

[@AngieDiB]

Thank you! I don’t use Kryolan unfortunately.

[@yoshiston3r]

could you please do another tutorial like this basically defining the shape and equalizing the skin tone with light and dark foundation but with actually textured skin, by that I mean someone like me who has acne scars, lines on the forehead and combination to dry. That would greatly help and be appreciated pls.

[@AngieDiB]

You will find next week’s video helpful.

[@TheFarmhouseGardener]

i love this!!!! It is the easiest way to "contour" without contouring!!! Keeps the skin looking fresh and natural!!!

[@monique05985]

Thank you for this information Angie. I really appreciate you making these videos they are so helpful.

[@aktiwary]

Wow! The finished look is so flawless. I am going to work on this technique!

[@missymoomee]

Love love love to see you applying make up . 🙌🏼 Please more video like this one . I love how concise it is too.I been using this technique (not as flawless as you .. but watching you is already clicking in my head what I am doing different) and it works really good because I can create dimension with few products. Thank you Angie again for the helpful videos

[@krystelperre8986]

I love this tutorial Thankyou so much

[@remnaacontreras4724]

Gorgeous technique! Can't wait to try it out for a natural and healthy makeup look 😍

Thanks Nikki! Glad you liked it!

[@stutisrivastava4431]

I have just started learning make up. This is priceless wisdom i needed. lots of love and respect from your KZbin student from in India.🤗

[@soovivid1332]

Im beginning freelancing soon and i just want to thank you for your informative videos, hope to learn more along the way

[@claireshiner]

Amazing! I did this with two colours but definitely going to start using more shades if they need it 😁

[@EZMakeupArtist]

thank you for this pro tip!

[@Drizzydrake-y1k]

I can't wait to try this technique. Its honestly so simple makes all the difference! I feel like it may even be faster than trying to match a single color! You da best!

[@AngieDiB]

Yes! I think so too!

[@karmaalegre6478]

Great tutorial! Than you so much, Angie. 😄😘

[@AngieDiB]

😊

[@Glamouramour01]

You are my favorite!

[@sim2413]

Great info

[@emynicholson3031]

Hey Angie...I look forward to your videos every week! Love them!! I’m an ‘emerging’ MUA and looking to cut down on my time per client (I have watched your previous video/s on this) but I’d love to see you do a client’s makeup from start to finished in an unedited video to see how long it takes you and how I could possibly save time. Thanks so much xx

[@AngieDiB]

Hey! I would love to do a video on this but the reality is I need to be in front of my client to work quickly which doesn’t work for filming. I have played around with changing my camera positioning but I actually do not have enough space in my apartment to record something like that. Hopefully in the future!!

[@Bellanouva]

#notificationsquad!! Awesome way to unwind/learn after a job lol. I'm cleaning my brushes and watching!

[@existencevs]

Hi Angie, if you would have corrrected a bit, you would have used an orangey corrector correct? Or purple too? Thanks!

[@AngieDiB]

That would depend on what you think needs correcting! I did mix in mid-peach corrector which is appropriate for her skin tone and neutralizes any discolouration under the eyes.

[@StephTheOriginal]

Absolutely love your channel! Do you set the entire face with powder still with this technique? I have learnt that traditionally you need to set all creams and liquids with powder failing which the longevity of the makeup will be affected. Would love your feedback on this.

[@AngieDiB]

It totally depends on what I'm doing and the finish I want on the skin. For beauty shoots I don't like a lot of powder because I want the skin to look fresh on camera. Setting with powder for longevity is very dependant on the foundation you are using. Some self setting foundations don't require a lot of powder (or powder at all to stay in place) where some will require powder so they don't slide off the skin. You have to really experiment with what you have in your kit.

[@caykeface]

I love this video! In the future could you make one like this using RCMA?

[@Odalysharris]

The best information ever!! I love this foundation and technique. I have a question not regarding this video. I have a client that is Giotto a dance audition. She’s not a sweaty type but I don’t want her foundation or eye makeup to run while auditioning. Any tips? I’ll appreciate it so much. Thanks in advance 💖

[@americatrejomakeup9782]

I loved this video, thank you Angie! I got a question, I used to worked with a makeup artist that told me that my brushes looked unprofessional cause they are from different brands; i have some from real techniques, some mac, some b-dellium. I see you use algo some RT ones. I don´t know how to feel about this comment she made. What do you think?

[@AngieDiB]

That's ridiculous! Have you seen my brushes? As long as they are clean and work for you, whether they match or not doesn't matter.

[@americatrejomakeup9782]

Angie Di Battista Thank you for honest opinion, I thaught this was ridiculous too 😂 And I love my brushes!!

[@ladieesc0]

Did you choose #8 because its darker but has a yellow undertone like her skin?

[@AngieDiB]

Yes.

[@desiflavor9716]

Hiii. I can Use this technique using MAC face and body fluid foundation?

[@AngieDiB]

Yes - you can apply this technique to any foundation.

[@ArtofBriJones]

This video came at the right time! Thank you Angie! Do you have a video about under eyes? I do tv makeup too but working with under eyes that gets dry even when I hydrate with a serum is becoming an issue. Its very creasy and looks dry, even on myself sometimes. I don't know what to do.

[@AngieDiB]

Hey Briana! This is a tough one - do you only use serums or creams as well?

[@ArtofBriJones]

I only have chidoryia eye serum.

[@AngieDiB]

I personally would not use a serum at all under the eyes for most work. A lot of serums just sit on the skin and will cause your makeup to slip and slide and crease. But totally my own opinion. Definitely maybe experiment with a cream.

[@ArtofBriJones]

Angie Di Battista thank you! I will look into some creams

[@Strawberries017]

Do you tend to do this dimension technique usually with foundations with foundation only and not the combination of concealer and foundation? So many people use concealer in the center of the face for dimension.

[@AngieDiB]

Just foundation, concealer is way too heavy for most of the work that I do. I couldn't put my talent on camera with layers of foundation and concealer - with filming in HD, I would lose my job LOL

[@Strawberries017]

Lol, thank you for the quick reply! I'm learning so much from your channel! I really want that flawless base and to have foundation on the skin to look like skin! I truly enjoy your work as well as the videos you make!

[@sarahcorfe958]

So informative. I've really enjoyed catching up on your video's. I'm just starting out as an MUA and am finding that I can't get insured without going to school. Do you have any information on this? I'm in the UK xx

[@AngieDiB]

Hi Sarah! I don't have information regarding insurance or licensing in other countries. In Toronto, the industry here doesn't have those type of requirements.

[@sarahcorfe958]

Angie Di Battista It isn't compulsory, I think I'm just panicking. You have helped me so much already! Thank you xx

[@annevis-doanphotography6396]

Hi Angie! Thank you so much for sharing this technique with us! Do you use the same brush while working with the different shades of foundation? It seems that you switch to different shades using the same brush without worrying too much that the colors get all muddled up all together, or is it that you start with the light shade first, then dark and then blend and spot treat? Thank you!

[@AngieDiB]

I use the same brush! I build the foundation with small amounts of product - I’m so familiar with this technique and how much foundation is necessary that I’m not overly concerned with the two colours getting muddled together (it actually works to my advantage to have them blend slightly). The brush isn’t saturated with product and I have control over where I put each shade on the face.

[@amb817]

It's funny because with lighter skin tones like myself, we have lighter necks and a darker face haha. I've been messing around with this technique for a while and since I have a few foundations that are too dark, it seems to work out

[@elissabarretto]

Angie, for this same make up look, could I use the Face Atelier Foundation and mix it with the Mac correctors, for example, mid Peach (in the liquid form in the conceal and correct duo, for example) to do the concealer of her undereye and other parts of her face instead of the Mac Studio concealer? I prefer using Liquid Products, especially on the under eye are because I feel it doesn't emphasize the fine lines if you blend it well, but would love to hear your opinion. Thank you

[@AngieDiB]

It would work but it would be very dependant on how much coverage your client needs under the eye.

[@elissabarretto]

Thank you.

[@janfranklin2114]

Good, better, best ; )

[@Mateusjmake]

🖤

[@yolandaw.7227]

Does this method replace contouring and highlighting methods?

[@AngieDiB]

That's up to you and it will depend on the type of work you are doing and what finish you want with the makeup. With more videos in the future you will be able to see how I work with this technique.

[@dessyvalcheva]

Аmzing XOXO

[@941marissa]

No audio? Or is it just me?

[@liukuey-tantribe1781]

Style_staple There's definitely audio 👌🏽

[@AngieDiB]

There's audio - I am just not talking through the entire application.

[@941marissa]

Then, Something is wrong on my end 😭 😭😭 this is torture

[@AngieDiB]

Oh no! I've been having issues with uploading recently so hopefully it will sort itself out!

[@941marissa]

Problem solved 🙌🏼 due to human error 😂 I was using only one side of my headphone 🎧 instead of both 🤦🏻‍♀️
