Note: I actually wrote and saved this for my other blog, but since I now have this, I thought I'd post it here instead.
Picked up a leaflet when I was buying a couple of hair clips at Sinma. Thought I'd scan and share it here, for the benefit of those who ain't too sure about the method of application. Honestly, I have never used the two-way foundation as a makeup base before (no idea how to), so it was pretty useful for me too.
Two-Way Foundation
As a makeup base
1. Dampen the sponge with water, and squeeze it to dry.
2. Dab 1/4 of the sponge with foundation. Apply it evenly, using outward movements from the T-zone area to the other parts of the face.
3. Even out the foundation around the nose area with outward movements.
4. Apply the remaining foundation to the area above the lips and eyes.
For touch-up purposes
1. Dab 1/4 of the sponge with foundation.
2. Apply it around the T-zone.
3. Dab 1/3 of the sponge again with foundation and apply with downward movement around the nose and chin.
4. Fold the sponge into half, and smooth it evenly around the eye area.
Loose Powder
1. Fold the facial puff into half after dabbing it with loose powder.
2. Next, even out the loose powder on the facial puff.
3. To avoid the foundation from drying out and causing wrinkles to show, apply the loose powder around the eye area after applying the foundation.
4. Finally, spread the loose powder on the face lightly and evenly in an upward movement.
(Actually, I'd recommend sweeping the loose powder downwards with a face brush, as to "cover" the pores, giving it a more covered and flawless look)

ur template is really nice.
wat software did u use to create it?
Useful tips however, wet sponges breed bacteria so they must be washed out every time after using. I don't use my 2way wet for this reason. And I agree with you, I prefer sweeping the powder down as opposed to upwards. :)
Jo: Thanks! :) I didn't create this template from scratch (my HTML/CSS knowledge is not good enough to do that). I downloaded it from Blogger Skins (see Credits). However, I alway tweak templates as much as I can, to the best that I can, so that it's more ME :p I use Adobe Photoshop 7 to create/tweak the images.
Paris: I wholly agree with you. Actually that's one of the reasons I don't use a two-way cake wet. I do wash out the sponges for my foundation though. That comes in a jar ;)
