Foundation
When it comes to your makeup base, the most important
thing to remember is you want your skin to look like skin.
It should look clean and fresh, not like you’re wearing lots
of product. Don’t forget to use a primer to keep the skin
hydrated and prep the complexion such as 1. Napoleon
Perdis Auto Pilot Radiance Boosting Primer, $55 or 2.
Colorescience Face Primer SPF 20, $49.
Selecting the right base shade is key. Make sure the
colour matches your skin tone exactly. When you’re
buying a foundation, test it on the side of your face, not
the back of your hand. The skin on your face is a very
different shade to the skin on your hand. Yellow-based
foundations such as the Bobbi Brown ones are great
because they take any pink or red tones out of the skin.
People often try to alter their skin tone with makeup
but if you go a shade or two lighter it can end up looking
ashy and if you go darker it won’t match your skin and
you’ll fool nobody. Instead, match your skin tone exactly
and then warm it up with bronzer or blusher if you need it.
Foundation comes in a variety of forms, with the
four main types being liquid, cream, stick and powder.
The right foundation can even out your skin tone, give
you a healthy complexion and conceal flaws and
pigmentation. With each type comes a different finish and
level of coverage.
Liquid is typically the most popular everyday foundation
due to its sheer natural finish, while cream foundations
are the number-one choice for makeup artists. To set
makeup apply a finishing spray such as 3. Skindinavia
The Makeup Finishing Spray, $39.95.
