Foundation is the go-to product to achieve the ultimate in polished, perfected skin. It’s also often the toughest challenge in the makeup aisle. So many choices! Small differences in shade and/or texture can make a world of difference in your overall look.
To find the right foundation for you, first test the color by applying a stripe of it onto your jawline, not the back of your hand. Then have a look in natural light. Did it blend well with your complexion’s tone? Does it feel good on your skin? If so, go for it.
Liquid foundation — These are my favorite because they just melt onto the skin and blend beautifully. The right liquid foundation mimics your skin’s natural texture while smoothing out any unevenness, boosting your overall appearance.
Tinted moisturizer — A good choice for women who want the faintest hint of coverage plus a hydrating supplement for suppleness. Most tinted moisturizers also contain sunscreen, making them a triple threat of benefits.
Spray foundation — Ideal for women who need a bit heavier and longer-wearing coverage.
Cream foundation — Best for women with very dry skin; this formulation is a bit too heavy for other
skin types.
No matter which foundation you choose, the key word for pristine results is blend. Say it loud, and make it so. Heck, make a cheer out of it: B-L-E-N-D, Be Lovely Every New Day, Okay! Blend on your foundation lightly and lovingly; we want to see your skin, not a mask.
