For you to have the best makeup base, your goal is to match the exact color tone of your skin. This makes your makeup look natural and allows your skin to look great without looking made up or artificial.
Finding the best foundation color isn’t always easy. If you are in a store, it may not be easy to identify your exact color. Often a store may be dimly lit or simply unable to open bottles.
But it is important that you are persistent and do what you must to identify your exact color. If for some reason you can’t locate your color, you can always mix two colors together and make your own.
You also want to make sure that the product you choose is made up of quality ingredients. Fortunately, a high-quality product does not necessarily mean a high price. Makeup products like the Avon brand are well known for having very high quality makeup products at low prices.
It is vitally important to build a smooth and proportionate base on the face under the makeup to avoid a makeup mess. With so many types of foundations to choose from, it can be very confusing to determine which one is right for you.
Here’s a quick list of your possible foundation options:
1. cream
2.liquid
3. moss
4 stick
5. Compact powder
6. Tinted Moisturizer
7. Mineral powder
8. From cream to powder
For a more even, natural look, always apply a powder foundation in thin, light layers. Then keep adding more lightly until you reach your desired coverage. And if you need more coverage, you can use a flocked sponge for a more even application.
A great little makeup tip is that if your skin is oily or if you have a darker skin tone, you can wear a shade of color slightly lighter than your skin. Many women have found that the oil on their skin will actually darken the foundation after a short time as it oxidizes from the air.
Another tip is when choosing a color that is a mineral powder, keep in mind that loose powder is usually a shade darker in most brands and liquid and pressed foundations are usually very color accurate. With mineral foundations, the key to effectively evening out your color is for it to fade into your skin as it blends into your skin. With diligence and a little knowledge about how to find the best foundation for your makeup, you’ll start to look absolutely beautiful.
