What to look for when choosing a foundation
When choosing a foundation, it is worth focusing primarily on the type of skin.
Liquid tones are suitable for combination skin, products with oils and vitamins in the composition - for dry, and dense texture - normal.
Women with oily and combination skin should pay attention to “Fit Mi” Maybelin, which perfectly mattes and hides enlarged pores. Also, “Super STE 24” will allow you to create the perfect make-up that will last all day.
Affiniton, which includes vitamin E, a moisturizing complex, and argan oil, is suitable for girls with skin prone to dryness.
Dream Satin Fluid with a light and weightless texture will allow you to create a natural make-up for owners of normal skin.
When choosing a tonal product, it is important to remember that, ideally, it should be slightly lighter than the natural skin tone. It is better to test the product not on the hand, but on the lower part of the cheekbone, if possible under natural light. To do this, go to the window or go outside.
Do not use the same shade all year round. For the summer, you need to choose a cream slightly darker due to tanning. It is better if it is a tool with a complex of protection SPF.
Girls with skin prone to redness, it is better to choose a tool without a pink tint. But such foundation creams are suitable for women with a gray tint of skin.
Rules for applying foundation
The main rule of perfect makeup is to apply foundation on cleansed and pre-moistened skin.
The cream is best applied with a flat brush or sponge. It must be distributed from the center of the face. Particular attention should be paid to the wings of the nose and chin. After it is worth blotting your face with a paper towel to remove excess cream. You can fix the result with the help of powder, applying it to the T-zone.
It is equally important not only to apply the foundation correctly, but also to “remove” it from the face. To do this, it is better to use special makeup removers, and not just wash yourself with soap.
All Maybelin foundation creams are easily removed from the face with mecelar water or makeup milk.
