A NOVICE'S GUIDE TO FINDING THE RIGHT FOUNDATION

Ladies, I guess, we all know the reason a foundation is called a foundation.

It’s the one product that forms the base of our make-up.

So, it is the one thing we must get right!

However, with hundreds of brands coming up with different formulas and textures it really does become tricky to find the one that can give your skin a flawless finish.

But I got you covered!

Here is a guide that makes it easy to select the best foundation for your skin tone, even if you have never applied one before.

Let’s have a look!

The first step in finding the perfect foundation for yourself is to determine your skin type. This will help you find the kind of formula that suits you best. Women with oily skin should go for an oil-free formulation, whereas, if your skin tends to be on the drier side use a foundation that is enriched with oil.

The texture of your foundation is vital for a smooth and flawless application. Ask yourself a question, what is it that you want to hide? If you are looking to conceal dark spots or dis-coloured patches, pick up a foundation that is heavy-duty. However, if you just want something to apply as a base, you can go for a tinted moisturizer formulation.

Now we come to the most important part of choosing a foundation, matching it with your skin colour! Well, an easier way is to match the shade to your chest, instead of the face.

You can always ask for a tester sample and apply it to your neck or chest. You can blend it at the back of your hand as well and wait it out for a few minutes because the foundation changes colour once it gets absorbed in the skin.

Store lightings can be deceptive, so, try to check your sample patch in the sunlight. If it matches, you are good to go!

Keeping these tips in mind will be your path to a flawless and glowing look.
