What Every Woman Should Know about Foundations

Foundation is a must in a woman’s make up kit. This make up must-have makes your face perfect for applying different types of facial make up. Make up artists cannot apply make up without the right foundation.

If you want to know how to choose the right foundation to use, here are some considerations.

• Decide whether you need an oil-free or a creamy product for your skin. This depends on your skin type. Oil-free product is perfect for oily skin while creamy foundation is good for dry skin.
• Decide whether you want to have sheer or heavy coverage. This depends on the look that you are trying to achieve. For everyday look, you might want to go for sheer or natural coverage.
• When buying foundations, you should apply a small amount of the product on your jaw line to check whether the color suits your face well. The foundation always looks a tad darker while it is still inside its container.

These are just some considerations when choosing foundations. Now for the application, here are some tips that you should know.

• Make sure that your hands and face are clean before you apply anything on your face.
• Before the foundation, make sure that you moisture your face thoroughly. You can also apply facial sunscreen on your face before the foundation. This will make the foundation smooth and even on your skin. Leave the moisturizer for a few minutes. Remove any excess moisturizing cream or sunscreen.
• Cover dark spots under your eyes or on your face by using a concealer.
• To apply the foundation, you can use the tip of your finger or a make up sponge. Make up artists use a make up brush. Just dab small amounts of foundation on your head, cheeks, and chin. Spread these small amounts all over your face.
• You need to apply loose powder over the foundation for a more finished look.
