Base makeup
The Adhesive Application method unique to the Impress line of products can be utilized for base makeup in addition to skincare. The idea is to make light and clarity adhere to the skin and create exquisite skin.
-
Choose out of light or moist types based on the season, skin requirements, or personal taste. Take an appropriate amount (about 1 cm in diameter) in the palm of your hand or on the fingertips, and massage directly into the skin.
After applying evenly all over the face, use the ball of the fingers to lightly press from the center of the face to improve adhesion of the product to the skin. Use the fingertips to apply thoroughly even in folds and creases such as around the nostril.
-
Take an appropriate amount on the fingertips and spread in an outward direction from the center of the face. For best results, allow your wrists to relax, and spread evenly through free movement of the fingertips. For wider areas such as the cheeks or the forehead, spread with broad movements using the ball of your fingers, and pat diligently with the fingertips to cover small folds and creases such as around the nostril. To finish the Adhesive Application procedure, press the entire face with the palms to make the foundation adhere to the skin.
-
Take an appropriate amount of powder on the puff and rub carefully to spread the powder all over the puff. Then apply on the face with light strokes of the puff against the skin.
Please be warned that too thick a layer of powder will take away the glow characteristic of an adult woman's skin, and may make the wrinkles and other flaws in the skin stand out. Excess powder may be removed lightly using a brush.
-
Take an appropriate amount on the sponge and spread over the face from the center, outward. The idea is to move the sponge with gentle pressure as though laying the powder against the skin. This will immediately make the skin supple and elastic. In areas prone to smudge such as around the eyes or nostril, fold the sponge into two, and massage with light pressure. A lighter spread is ideal for shaded areas such as along the hairline and the face line.
To finish the Adhesive Application procedure, press the entire face with the palms to make the foundation adhere to the skin.
