Too light or too dark ….essential tips to find the right foundation for you!

Choosing the right foundation is essential as it is one of the most important parts in creating that bright and perfect make-up look. And with thousands of colors, coverage, shades and matching the skin type, this process becomes daunting for most of us.

Keeping in mind these essential tips will help you make the right and fair choice:

1. Discover your skin type and it will tell you what's the right thing for you.

As you might have noticed, there are some of the cosmetic products which are capable of damaging the skin. Most of the time this happens because of our wrong and uninspired choice.

Foundations are formulated for oily, dry, normal and sensitive skin. And don't forget that the skin type changes with the weather. During the winter months the skin becomes dry. Some of us actually have a combination skin.

If your skin is oily try to choose oil-free liquid or powder foundation. Powders have oil-absorbing properties which helps to remove excess shine throughout the day offering a long-lasting matte look.

For dry skin try moisturizing liquid foundation, which is easier to blend into the skin. It covers any fine lines, wrinkles and pores and also retain moisture in the skin, especially during the winter months.

2. Choose your foundation depending on the event you're going to.

Some of the foundation types won't leave your skin look too happy, like oil based foundation. I would recommend it for special occasions. This type of foundation will give you an instant and long-wearing coverage. The problem is that it doesn't allow your skin to breathe.

3.Too light or too dark, too warm or too cool....

First thing to do is to find your undertone. And to find that you need to look at the veins in your wrist and if they appear blue or purple, you’re cool; green or olive, you’re warm and if they’re a mix of both, you’re neutral. When you're testing the foundation try it along your jawline and check it on different lighting environments. When foundation will disappear onto your skin, then you'll know that you found the perfect foundation that suits you.

These are some important tips to keep in mind when choosing foundation. But if there arises the opportunity to ask for an expert advice and have not done it yet, then do not hesitate to do it.

And now that you solved your essential problem, finding the right foundation, you can think of the rest must-haves to complete your look.
