Correct Application health & safety.
Are you applying your Supercover Ultimate HD Foundation Correctly?
1. Prepare the skin by cleansing, toning & moisturising if you have dry skin. Try our Ultimate HD Face Primer
which is a perfect base primer for even make-up base application. The face primer is non greasy and helps to
fill in lines, wrinkles and large pores. Great for oily skin and helps Foundation last for many many hours longer.
2. For hygiene reasons we would recommend the use of the Supercover Stainless Steel Spatula & Palette.
By using the Supercover stainless steel spatula & palette not only for good hygiene practice but also to prevent
bacteria build up in containers.
3. Take the Supercover Hydrator Spray and quirt out 1-2 times on your clean make-up sponge or clean foundation
brush and glide your sponge across the foundation and apply to your face and blend in to your skin. To cover any
skin discolouration try patting or stippling the makeup sponge to the centre of the discoloured area with softer taps
around the edges for a nice feathered and well blended finish. Always apply makeup in the direction of any fine
facial hair growth, this will help to diminish the effects of fine facial hair. For best results, blend, blend and blend well.
4. To allow the make-up to last up to 14 hours depending on weather and humidity, set the foundation only with
Supercover Ultra-lucent Fine HD Setting Powder using a Supercover professional size powder puff .
Do not use brush to apply powder to set the Foundation. At this point the makeup is water resistant.
5. The canvas is now set after you have removed any excess powder with a Supercover Dome Brush you are now
ready to apply other make-up such as eye shadows, lipstick, blusher, etc.
How to conceal major skin discolouration: To cover major skin discolourations such as redness or ruddy skin use
no.16 red neutraliser (found under correctors tab). To cover pigmentation or under eye shadows use no. 25 blue neutraliser
(found under correctors tab). Apply one or both of these concealers/ correctors with a Supercover Flibert no.10 Brush
(found under Brushes tab) then pat or stipple the foundation over the top of the concealers/correctors and blend, then set
the make- up with powder. All concealers / correctors are also normal foundations for everyday use except for lavender veil,
for further information on how to use the lavender veil and other colour correctives see the correctors tab & Corrector wheel.
Please note: Many of our cream based products such as Supercover HD Foundations, Corrector, Fashion and Lipstick
Wheels have the tendency to sweat or perspire leaving some soft round patches and or indentation hole marks on the
surface. Please note this is perfectly normal and will not effect the durability or the performance of the make-up.
Please store all cosmetics in a cool dark place away from direct heat and sunlight, close lids tightly after each use.
Fine lines ( laughter lines ) and wrinkles under the eyes: This is a very lengthy subject and needs to be practiced and
perhaps even a 3 hour makeup class with a professional makeup artists. So you applied your makeup say 8 in the morning
and by 3 pm the makeup has settled in the lines and the appearance does not look good? This condition happens in hotter
weather conditions, on oily skin, and natural body heat where as the Foundation is melting as time goes by during the day?
Age also is a contributor?
Here are some tips: To lessen some of the the fine lines: when you have completed the Foundation application on your
face, before powdering to set the Foundation, Use Supercover Filbert Sable brush no.18, slightly dampen the brush with
the Supercover hydrator spray and transfer a bit of your Foundation to the brush and smooth out those lines and set with
Supercover powder only using a powder puff. What happens when you apply the Foundation using a makeup sponge to
the skin the sponge glides across the skin but does not get into the recesses where the lines and wrinkles become more
prominent. Professional makeup artists normally use the Supercover High Lighter no.36 to those lines and wrinkles then
mix with the Foundation This technique hides the lines which shows a slight highlighted affect to those areas, which is
great for photographic , film & TV work as well as for bridal makeup..
Key is to apply a very very thin layer of Foundation to lines and wrinkles - remember to stop at a point where the makeup
looks as natural as possible say with 75% coverage which will make your face look 100% better than before - rather than
100% coverage and the make up looks unnatural, caky and artificial? Please don't look for perfection - makeup products
do not diminish lines and wrinkles these techniques are illusions only the lines and wrinkles will always be there when
you remove your makeup with a cleanser.
it's very easy to blame makeup products, when the correct techniques are not used?
For People With Oily Skin / hot weather conditions. The performance and long lasting ability of the makeup Foundation will
depend on many factors. Naturally the cooler the climate on good smooth skin the products lasts longer, on the other hand
in hotter climatic conditions and people with oily skin the makeup does not last as long, therefore, here are some sound
advise how to make your Foundation last longer under these conditions.
1) Apply the Supercover makeup foundation as explained above numbers 1-4. In addition tone your skin with a toner
which also helps to remove excess oil from the skin.
2) Do not use a moisturiser on oily skin this will weaken the performance of the makeup. Use a face primer.
3) Upon completion of the makeup, set the Foundation only with Supercover fine Ultra-lucent powder as this is designed to
set the makeup, always use powder puff to set the powder to the Foundation on the face ( never a powder brush ).
4) Rather than removing the excess powder from the face, now use Supercover Dome brush and work the excess powder
further back into the skin with soft round brush strokes. This is for the addition of the powder and this will make your
Foundation last longer. Your natural oils will come thru the makeup in these hotter climatic conditions.
5) The powder puff packaging comes in a resealable clear plastic cover, When you have used the powder puff with the
powder, put some extra powder on the powder puff and wrap with tissue then seal it back in the clear plastic and keep it
with you for touch up.
6) Touch up, keep some tissue or paper towel with you and gently blot perspiration/oils from the skin first before re-setting
and retouching the powder to the face with powder puff.
We hope that these sound information will help you.
