Your foundation should match your skin tone perfectly. If it's too light or too dark, it will look unnatural. One thing to keep in mind is also the undertone of the foundation. If you use one that doesn't match yours it is bound to look off.

A little goes a long way when it comes to foundation. Start off with a little amount and keep adding as necessary. Too much can make your skin look heavy and cakey.

Blending is key to a natural-looking makeup look. Make sure to blend your foundation, concealer, and eyeshadow to perfection to avoid harsh messy, streaky lines.
Concealer can be great for covering up blemishes, but using too much can make your skin look cakey and unnatural, as a thumb of rule a little goes a long way. Use a light hand and only apply concealer where needed.

Powder can help to set your makeup and keep it in place, but using too much can make your skin look cakey and make the dry patches on your face more prominent. Apply a light dusting of powder to your T-zone and any other areas where you tend to get oily.

Bronzer and blush can add warmth and dimension to your face. Makeup with bronzer and blush will make you look incomplete and flat. Be sure to choose shades that complement your skin tone.

Contouring can be a great way to define your features, but over-contouring can make your features stand out harshly and make you look cartoonish. Use a light hand and focus on blending.
A small but important step that most people forget is to blend your foundation into your neck to ensure even coverage of your skin. The skin on your neck tends to be darker than your face so there is a stark difference in colour when the neck is left bare. Remember: the foundation on your neck is essential!
A common mistake most makeup beginners make is to apply dark, vibrant shades on their eyelids without a proper buildup of colours. You must always make your way up to the top when doing eye makeup and start with the lighter shades to ensure a smooth transition between colours.
