It’s a super emollient texture when you put your finger on to it. And then it softly dries to a soft velvety finish. Before & After But as much as it was a surprise, it really wasn’t a bad one because this product delivers such a pretty finish on the skin. What is the Kevyn Aucoin Foundation Balm? There are two recommended techniques for applying this type of product. "The best way to apply a foundation balm is by using your fingers or a flat brush," says Malek. "Apply a swipe of product onto each section of your face, and then take a flat-topped makeup brush and blend outwards. If you feel you have hyperpigmentation or blemishes, you can go over certain areas with a bit more product and it will blend seamlessly."

They typically come in a pot or a jar and are a cross between two popular products. It marries the silky consistency of a cream foundation with the lightweight coverage of a tinted moisturiser. "They can range from super minimal 'skin like' coverage, like the Jones Road Beauty Balm. to very full-coverage like the KVD Good Apple Foundation Balm," celebrity makeup artist Shadi Malek tells POPSUGAR. "Normally, foundation balms are made from oils or silicone." It gives a nice velvety, luminous finish that’s softly matte. After a couple of hours, I think it gets a bit glowier, which I really like.

Accentuate bone structure by using a foundation that is 2-3 shades darker than your skin tone and wherever you'd like to contour - hollows of cheekbones, under the jawline, around the hairline. Remember to blend, blend, blend! The innovative Foundation Balm comes with a specially designed brush for effortless blending and application. This foundation is available in 20 shades to cover all skin tones. Shades match the Kevyn Aucoin Etherealist Foundation shades, with 4 new shades so you can find the perfect colour.Makeup looks may be heavily influenced by trends, but so are the new products that brands launch. Take the "blosses" trend for example. The new lip product combines a lip gloss with a balm for a hydrating and comfortable yet shiny lip. It's creation came to be after lip glosses and barely-there balms started trending again. Another example: foundation "balms." When I applied it for the second time, I went straight in with 5.5 and was happy with that match which seems to work well with my darker hair, and deeper fake tan. It provides really good, full coverage, but I think it needs setting if you use a generous amount of product to minimise transfer.
