Foundation is without a doubt one of the most important, yet
troublesome products to master. If you don’t know too much about makeup,
entering a beauty boutique can often be overwhelming with the immense choice of
foundations on the shelves.
There are the textures, liquid, mousse, cream, stick. The colors,
“Summer glow,” “Peachy tea,” “Life’s a
beach.” No one really has any idea what these things mean and it’s easy to get
confused. On top of that, there are many ways to apply makeup and heaps of tools
that promise a flawless finish. Truthfully, every one’s skin is different and
they require different products and different methods of application.
Thankfully, with so much on offer, there is definitely a
product out there for you. Before you know it, your skin will be glowing if you
follow these five tips for flawless foundation.
1.
Choose wisely: There are so many options available these days, but don’t get sucked
in by advertising. Instead, choose something that matches your skin type. You
might need full coverage or less, and you might want to go for a dewy finish if
you have dry skin or a matte finish if your skin is oily. Make sure it is the
right colour too.
2. Create a base: Make sure to exfoliate and moisturize your skin regularly. If using
moisturiser, wait 10 minutes and let in sink in before applying your
foundation. Alternatively, you can use a primer which mattifies your skin and
helps foundation last all day.
3. Select your tool: You could use
a brush, a sponge or your fingers for applying foundation. There are perks to
all of them, but ultimately it is trial and error. Try everything out and see
what works for you best.
4.
Less is more: You do not need to apply foundation on your whole face if is the
right colour match. Put a small amount on the places that need it and blend
outwards. You can always add more, but it is harder to take off when it starts
looking cakey.
5. Finish with your
powder: Depending on your skin type, you can go
with a matte powder or an illuminating powder. This helps to lock in your
foundation and prevent it from sliding off easily. It also creates a great
finish.
