Perfect makeup is only possible if the skinlooks flawless, but unfortunately, only a few women have such skin. The rest have no choice but to choose a foundation that will even out the color and structure of the skin, give it a velvety, youthful, radiant and fresh look. In addition to the visible effects, a good foundation will protect the skin from negative effects, and the substances it contains, such as chamomile extract, calendula, aloe gel, hyaluronic acid, will help to quickly heal microtraumas, moisturize the skin. Therefore, when choosing a product, you should definitely take these nuances into account and carefully study its composition.
Tone cream for different skin types
For normal skin without visible defectsThe best choice is moisturizing and toning fluid creams that only slightly color the skin. Problem skin can be masked with a foundation gel, it is not as greasy as a cream, is well absorbed and does not leave marks. In this case, you can also apply a thin layer of loose powder on top of the base. Liquid foundation is suitable for combination skin, and it is best to use different products for individual areas. Problem areas - mainly the forehead, chin and wings of the nose - should be treated with a gel, and the rest should be treated with a product for dry skin. This way, the base will look smoother, and the makeup will lie perfectly on the face. Dry skin is suitable for a foundation that has a moisturizing effect, it will look more natural on the face. For overdried skin, it is better to use creamy foundations containing softening oils. It is best to apply the product with a damp sponge so that wrinkles do not stand out too much, use compact powder with a silky texture, not loose.
How to choose the right shade
When choosing the required shade of foundationYou shouldn't test the cream on your wrist, as the skin tones on your hand and face are completely different. The best option is to buy several samples in the store and see which one suits you best at home. Apply the cream in a thin layer and check under different lighting to see if it has given you an excessively sickly pallor or, on the contrary, an artificially looking swarthiness. And then go and buy the shade that suits you best. If you can't buy samples, it's best to test the color of the foundation on your forehead. Don't rush to buy the cream or refuse it right away, it's better to wait a few minutes until it's absorbed into your skin. Sometimes, under the influence of oxygen and skin secretions, the color of the product can change, and as a result, you'll get something completely different from what you expected. Too dark or light a tone can be corrected by buying a cream from the same manufacturer but in a different shade; creams can be mixed in the right proportions, achieving the perfect combination for your skin.
In what situations is it better to give up on foundation?
Foundation should not be used by young peoplegirls from 15 to 25 years old. Their skin still has enough collagen. In addition, the foundation does not allow oxygen to pass through well, and young skin simply needs it to stay fresh and attractive for even longer. And few young girls make sure that the cream is applied correctly and, using it, only spoil their skin. In extreme summer heat, it is better to refuse foundation altogether. It causes increased sweating and all facial makeup will "float", which, naturally, will not add attractiveness. But in winter frosts, you can not do without foundation. It will protect the skin from chapping, and it will survive the cold without additional losses and wrinkles.
How best to apply the substrate
In order for the base to lie flat and givethe face is the perfect color, it is better to apply it with a slightly damp sponge, because if you shade it with your fingers, you can leave stripes on your face.
