Foundation helps the rest of the makeup look better because it provides a smooth surface.
Today’s new formulas incorporate a wide variety of anti-aging components that also make you skin look radiant and youthful.
To choose the best foundation for your skin tone, apply a dab on your jaw line, blend evenly, and compare to your natural skin tone. Your ideal color will disappear on your skin without having to blend it too much.
Seasons change, and so should your foundation. Keep at hand different shades: lighter for the winter months, and darker for summer.
For a more natural look, apply foundation only on problems areas: red/dark blemishes, nose, and over acne.
Three ways to apply foundation:
- Your fingers. Direct contact with the skin will produce a natural effect and a more translucent application.
- Sponges. A sponge provides more coverage than your fingers, and they’re perfect for blending.
- Brush. A brush provides greater coverage, and a greater finish because you’re literally painting your face. Use brushes for a more refined look.
