How to apply a compact foundation correctly

OK, you have chosen your correct foundation shade, so now achieving flawless skin will be down to the way you apply it. Dry skin, large pores and excess oil can all play havoc with the way your foundation looks if you attempt to apply it willy-nilly.

Eva Mendes, Emily Blunt and Angelina Jolie are just a few of the celebrities we've seen recently with seriously immaculate complexions. This isn't just achievable by the A-list, thankfully our resident beauty guru John Gustafson comes to the rescue with his guide to applying a compact foundation. From how to even out your skin tone to hiding imperfections and dark circles, John has all the latest beauty advice.
