How to choose the right foundation - choose a foundation
Styx, apricot, beige, liquid, in powder. .. The choice of cream, given the number of producers, is quite large. Pay a lot and make a mistake - annoyingly! Here you really need to know how to choose the right foundation. We will use the advice of the make-up artist and professional cosmetologist, the author of "ABC of make-up" - D.Vorzh.
Determine with the choice of color
We take as your basis your own, natural color of the body. Remember: the tone of the cream should in no case accurately repeat the complexion. If your skin is pink, give up pink tones and stop at the beige. If the skin of the face is yellowish, pay attention to the beige-pink tone. If you - the owner of a swarthy skin, take a dark beige foundation cream( may come and beige-apricot).Just beige color - not yours, because instead of beautiful bronze you will get a semblance of gray asphalt.
The ideal color for a suitable tone can be determined only by testing. Do not imitate visitors to perfume shops, testing a foundation on the wrist. By the way, they usually do it on the inside. The grossest mistake and discarded money: the complexion is absolutely different from the color of the wrist! Check tonalnik on jaw bones, making a small, easy smear. You need to match colors, not colors. In other words, if the color of the cream is much darker than the skin of the face, you will eventually get an "artificial" skin, and if it is much lighter, then provide yourself with a pale, tired look.
If you are offered samplers, take the opportunity and make make-up already at home. Apply as thin a layer as possible, distributing as evenly as possible. The skin should look only natural - no hint of artificial swarthiness or painful pallor! An exit from the situation can be mixing of creams of two tones. Slightly playing with the doses of light and dark, you will choose the right color that suits you. In the future this "maneuver" will be worked out to the very real automatism. The only "but" - mix the foundation of only one brand, because different manufacturers have different components and different consistency.
Determine the texture of the
The skin type is important here. When the skin is dry, the cream that contains components that guarantee moisturizing is selected. In such tonalnikah there is another advantage: microscopic pigments that provide toning, they are distributed evenly, not accumulating in the wrinkles that appear, and therefore do not make them even more noticeable, brighter.
If you for some unknown reason liked not moisturizing cream, make a cunning move: mix two creams - one moisturizing, the other - tonal. The effect, believe me, will be unexpected: instead of a radical change in color, the skin will only get light dullness and refresh."A layer of paint" no one will notice.
For oily skin, choose a toning product with the appropriate notation. Some of the tonal creams are produced specifically for the skin oily - without oils( fat, so it's enough), with particles that can absorb excess skin separation. The texture in them is more dense, therefore it is impossible to put so thinly as the previous kind of a cream. But "leaves" a greasy shine, the skin is dried.
It is especially difficult to pick up a voice-frequency cream for women having a skin of the mixed type( and such majority).Near the nose and lips, the skin is usually oily, but on the cheeks and forehead - dry. The only solution is to use two kinds of foundation. One - for the skin dry, the other - for the greasy. Here, of course, we need to help. Although this is not difficult. It is enough to try. Cream darker apply on the cheekbones and nose, a cream that matches the color of the skin - on the rest of the face.
You can use tonal means that, as the manufacturer assures us, have an lifting effect( on packages it is indicated).Such remedies not only mask small skin imperfections, but also tighten it due to the content of the microvascus, distributed over the skin and making the face a little younger. In addition, the composition contains extracts of ivy, corn extracts, caffeine, glycolic acid. This "cocktail" is designed to stimulate the microcirculation of the skin of the face, which means - to revitalize it.
On the pros and cons of foundation cream
The cream applied and left for the whole day, necessarily "float" in the heat due to increased sweating. In the absence of time, it is necessary to correct the situation also with powder. And this is stress for the skin. Infernal mixture of powder, cream and dust will cause clogging of the pores and the appearance of black spots( omentums).
On the other hand, foundation is very appropriate in winter, because it contains not only pigmented, but also caring substances that protect against frost and wind.
