Sir John Shares Why Multi-Masking Your Foundation Is A Game Changer

Step 2: Choose Your Formulas

When it comes to choosing your two foundation formulas (or face products) to multi-mask, Sir John notes that the goal is not to mix them. “I wouldn’t change the formula by mixing two products together, instead, I’d focus a heavier foundation on different areas like the T-Zone and a sheer serum everywhere else,” he says. 

For the lighter coverage areas, we love the L’Oréal Paris True Match Nude Hyaluronic Tinted Serum which provides a sheer tint that leaves the skin feeling hydrated. For more heavy-duty coverage, opt for the L’Oréal Paris Infallible 24 Hour Fresh Wear Foundation.

Step 3: Start With Your Lighter Coverage Areas

First thing’s first, apply the True Match Nude Hyaluronic Tinted Serum all over the face to even out your complexion, but avoid the areas where you want full-coverage. This formula will not only let your skin shine through, it will also leave skin feeling hydrated for hours — so you won’t have to worry about flakes or dryness. Sir John recommends focusing a little extra product on areas you want to highlight, including the bridge of the nose, on the temples and the cheekbones.

Step 4: Multi-Mask With Heavier Coverage

After blending in the sheer tint, go back to those spots you left behind (likely the T-Zone, and areas with blemishes, including around the nose and chin), and tap in the Infallible 24 Hour Fresh Wear Foundation with a damp makeup blender or foundation brush. The higher-coverage will help keep these areas concealed and matte for up to 24 hours, not to mention, this formula is transfer-resistant and waterproof. Use a large fluffy powder brush and buff in a layer of the L’Oréal Paris Up to 24H Fresh Wear in a Powder, matte finish to lock in these areas.
