In order for you to have the best foundation, 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 makeup or artificial.
Finding the best foundation color is not always easy. If it is in the store, it may not be easy to identify its exact color. Often times, a store may have poor lighting or it may simply be that you can’t open the bottles.
But it is important that you be persistent and do whatever it takes to identify your exact color. If for some reason you cannot locate your color, you can always mix two colors 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 a low price.
It is vitally important to create a smooth and proportionate base on the face under makeup to warn of a makeup disaster. With so many types of bases 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. Foam
4. Stick
5. Compact powder
6. Tinted moisturizer
7. Mineral powder
8. Powdered cream
For a more even and natural look, always apply a powder foundation in thin, light coats. Then keep adding more lightly until you reach the desired coverage. And if you need more coverage, you can use a flock sponge for a more even application.
A little makeup tip is that if your skin is oily or if you have a darker skin tone, you can use a slightly lighter color tone 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 in the air.
Another tip is that when choosing a color that is a mineral powder, keep in mind that loose powders are usually a shade darker in most brands, and pressed and liquid foundations are often very color-accurate. With mineral foundations, the key to effectively blending your color is for it to fade into your skin as it blends into your skin. With diligence and a little knowledge of how to find the best foundation, you will begin to look absolutely gorgeous.
