On straight foul "tips", as in balls back to the screen, not actual foul tips, I do nothing but get a ball to the pitcher.
On little squibbers and stuff, its just my right hand that comes up pretty close to my body, and my other hand holding the mask by my waste. Thats for obvious fouls. I also say foul rather softly.
For the real close ones, well, Ace can tell you what I do for those (one time I waved it off like a basketball ref at a shot at the buzzer). But those its just either a huge point towards fair, or both hands up, a SCREAM of FOUL! Then, a point towards Foul, sometimes with both arms swiping across the body.
I don't make a show of it unless I have to, in otherwards.
