Elizabeth Arden’s Global Makeup Artist, Rebecca Restrepo answers some questions about the Elizabeth Arden Flawless Finish Sponge-On Cream Makeup

Do you have any tips for finding the right foundation?
The best way to find the right foundation is by testing several formulas and shades. Many people test colors on their hand, but to get the most accurate read, the best place to test is actually the jawline. It’s also important to go outside and see how the color registers on your skin in natural light.

Do you recommend a dewy or matte finish for specific seasons?
You can wear either finish any time of year, but I prefer a dewy finish. It always looks great in the summer and even in mid-winter, it’s still nice for skin to have a healthy glow.  

Are some foundations better for warm weather while others are best for cold weather?
Certain makeup foundation formulations are better for cold weather while others are better for warmer climates. Emollient-rich foundations are better for cold weather because skin tends to get dehydrated from indoor heat, wind and cold. In warmer weather, a tinted moisturizer is ideal because it offers a sheer dose of color. Powder foundation also works really well in the heat.

Who do you recommend to use Flawless Finish Sponge-On Cream Makeup? Any specific ages or skin types?
Flawless Finish Sponge-On Cream Makeup is perfect for women of all ages with normal to dry skin, who want more coverage and a truly flawless look. For a more opaque look apply the makeup with a dry sponge. For a slightly sheerer finish, wet the sponge to thin out the texture.

Do you recommend using concealer before or after applying Flawless Finish Sponge-On Cream Makeup?
As with any foundation, I recommend using concealer after applying Flawless Finish Sponge-On Cream Makeup. For the most natural finish, it’s best to use a concealer to cover any imperfections that are still visible after foundation application.

Do you recommend using moisturizer before or after foundation?
You should always apply moisturizer before adding anything else to the skin — including foundation.  If you’re applying a tinted moisturizer but need a little extra hydration, you can definitely apply a small amount of moisturizer as well.

 
Do you feel it’s necessary to apply or finish the look after Flawless Finish Sponge-On Cream Makeup with a dusting of powder?
It’s not necessary to follow Flawless Finish Sponge-On Cream Makeup with powder but you certainly can. For those who tend to have more oily skin or want to make Flawless Finish Sponge-On Cream Makeup last longer, a dusting of powder down the center of the face is a good way to control excess oil and extend wear.

Can you apply Flawless Finish Sponge-On Cream Makeup with a brush or with your finger?
To apply Flawless Finish Sponge-On Cream Makeup, you can use a sponge, a brush or your fingertips. It’s really about how much coverage you want to achieve—a brush will create a more translucent look while a sponge or fingertips will provide fuller coverage.
