10 Important Foundation Tips You Need To Know
1. Select The Right Of The Foundation For Your Own Skin Kind
It is crucial that you choose a foundation that suits your particular skin type. If you have a tendency to oily or sensitive skin, you may want to choose a water-based foundation. So you avoid adding more oil to your skin than necessary. On the other hand, if your skin type is dry, then you can advantageously choose an oil-based foundation.You can read on the foundation bottle ingredient list whether it is based on water or oil. And there is actually a website that can help you never buy the wrong foundation.
2. Take The Time To Choose The Right Color Tone
Besides finding the foundation that best suits your skin type, you also need to make sure it has the right color tone. If you want to get the best results, then it is a bad idea to just grab the first and best shelf.To find the right color tone for your face, try smearing different testers on your cheek. This way, you can easily see which color tone blends best into your own natural skin color.
3. Also Select The Right Undertone
It may seem a little unnecessary also to choose the right undertone, but in fact it is quite important if you want a natural result. Generally, three subtones are distinguished: cool, neutral and warm. To find out what undertone your skin has, you can look at your wrist. If your blood vessels are purple and bluish, you have a cool undertone. However, if they are blue-green, you have a neutral undertone, and if they are green or olive-colored, you have a warm undertone. Most foundations have a label that shows which undertone they fit.
4. Moisten The Face Before Laying Foundation
If you do not already do so, then it is very important to lubricate the moisturizer on the face before laying a layer of foundation. Give the moisturizer a few minutes to penetrate the skin - avoiding an uneven result.
5. Start In The Center Of The Face And Work Outwards
If you start laying foundation around your nose and cheeks and then gradually working you out, you will achieve the most natural result. And as a bonus, you avoid annoying edges in the face that make your foundation look like a mask.
6. Remember The Eyelids & Ears And Neck
The skin of the eyelids is so thin that you can often see your blue veins through and the dark expression can make you look tired. But with a thin layer of foundation you can actually make it look like you've got the eight hours of sleep you need. Especially if you have put your hair up, it is a good idea to remember to put a little foundation on the outside of the ears - then you get a more natural result. And if your blouse has a deep cut, remember to give the neck (and possibly also the chest) a trip.
7. Always Brush Down With The Brush
If you apply your foundation with a brush, just remember to iron down. If you do, then you stroke in the same direction as the small, fine hair you have on your cheek - and then you avoid the hairs being pushed up and thus highlighted.
8. Use A Makeup Sponge
You can either use the makeup sponge to smooth out the traces left by a brush or you can use it to lay your entire foundation. A makeup sponge gives a natural result because it is good at blending your foundation into the skin.
9. Create Depth In The Face
If you want to create depth in your face, you can use a foundation that is a tone darker than your primary foundation and put it around the edge of your face. You can also add foundation, which is a tone lighter than the one you usually use under your cheekbones to highlight them.
10. Check Your Foundation In A Natural Light
If you want to be absolutely sure to walk out the door without any bumps or clear edges in the face, then it may be a good idea to check your foundation in a natural light that reveals any minor errors.The yellowish or warm light in the bathroom, in the bedroom or where else you lay your foundation can cheat a little.
