Foundation – what to know:

November 29, 2008




No woman would say “No” to makeup or makeup kits. When it comes to foundation, it differs for every skin type. If you are going to use the same foundation for all types of skin, you will not get the desired results. Wide range of choice is available that sometimes we get confused on what to get for our skin. Here is some useful information using which you can choose the foundation that is right for your skin type.

Choosing the right shade and applying it:

How you choose the foundation? Go to the store, look at one pretty looking foundation, grab it and come. No…this is not the right procedure. Apply a small portion of foundation in your collarbone as this is the area where you will not have much pigmentation. Look yourself in the mirror and check whether the shade suits you. If yes, go for it else perform the same method for the next shade of foundation. So you have now got the foundation of your choice. Next is to apply it on your pretty face. First apply moisturizer and then apply makeup foundation. Take a dime-sized drop, start to apply from the center and move towards the edges of your face. You can either apply using your fingers or can get hold of brushes.

Darker skin – how to apply for it?

If you have dark skin, you will have to choose colors that will blend with your skin color. It is recommended to go in for powder foundation if you have dark skin as they contain micronized minerals and they will make your skin look light. You don’t like using powder; you may either use cream or liquid foundation. In this case, apply translucent powder on top of the foundation.

Look natural with foundation and get a smooth finish:

If you wish that others shouldn’t know that you are wearing makeup, try using tinted moisturizer on top of the foundation. This will make you look natural. Many complain that they don’t get a smooth finish when using foundation. Using a primer will help you get a smooth finish. First apply moisturizer, primer and then foundation; this procedure will give you lustrous glowing skin with smooth finish.
