FOUNDATION
Most woman buy the wrong foundation a number of times before finally finding the right one .You should always get the Therapist or sales assistant to help you find the correct colour as simply looking at a bottle or smearing it on your hand wont be accurate . Make sure she tests it in natural light and compares a bit on your cheek to your jawline . Also many woman only check the colour of foundation when buying one forgetting that we all have different types of skin . Many woman dont know this and may find this strange but we all have yellow undertones in our skin ,so try to find a yellow based formula as this will match even better to your skin and give you a natural healthy glow.You should never try to hide your skin tone ,instead perfect the one you have ! Our skin is usually darker in summer and pailer in winter so try to have two foundations ,one for each season . During the months in between you can blend the two together to make your own custom shade .
Which foundation is right for my skin type?
Dry skin - Use moisturising foundations or hydrating ones for a glowing dewy face . Also it is important to try and avoid powder finish foundations as these will dry your skin out further making it seem dull and lifeless.
Oily skin -Choose a foundation that is oil free or mattifying ,these will both reduce the shine on the skin making it more smooth and matt .
Combination skin -foundations with lecithin and silica beads are perfect for this type of skin , lecithin rehydrates areas that are dry while the silica beads absorb oil on the skin .
NOTE:
always try to buy a foundation that contains an spf as this will save you money purchasing two products .I you wear false tan more often than not then i strongly recommend wearing it on the day that you buy your make up as the tones may be completely different when you have tan on .
this is an article on things you should do when buying a new foundation and common mistakes made,also application a little more about foundations and skin types .
