Prior to purchasing, you should try and see which color
atters you the most as a make-up base must be
invisible. Well, almost! Still, what we want to get is a
glowing skin, without imperfections, looking as natural
as possible.
The skin acts as an amazing shield having to face the
aggressive attacks of noxious external factors every
day. Based on your skin type, makeup base comes in
three different forms: liquid, creamy and powdered.
However, these three main textures have been the
starting point for the creation of other combinations,
such as mousse, mineral or humectant bases. Moreover,
a make-up base can contain special ingredients
suitable for various skin conditions. Therefore, we have
a make-up base for every skin, whether it is sensitive,
dry or oily. Don't forget to apply the make-up base
after cleansing and moisturizing.
To create a perfect base of your skin, you should rst
apply the make-up base or primer to your forehead,
cheeks, nose, and the tip of your chin. Use your middle
and ring ngers up to the second joint and spread the
base evenly with a gentle massaging motion, reaching
up to around your eyes.
APPLY CONCEALER. Concealer can be applied
before or after foundation, but you can choose at what
stage you apply concealer. Apply a pink toned
concealer under the eyes and pat (not rub) it in with
your ring nger. Then, take your regular concealer and
use it to conceal any additional pigmentation or
blemishes that you may have.
APPLY YOUR FOUNDATION. The key to a perfect
base is a perfect foundation. Perfect foundation means
choosing a foundation that matches your skin tone and
skin type. So go to your local make-up counter and get
them to match you. To apply your foundation, you can
use your ngers, a brush or a sponge. Use whatever is
most comfortable for you!
VOALA! YOU ARE DONE ! Follow these steps and
you'll have the perfect base.
