FOUNDATION 101
TOOLS
A good foundation
brush or
sponge wedges
are crucial if you
want to
apply your
foundation properly. Also, don’t
overlook your hands—the best tools
at your disposal. Your natural body
heat warms the foundation as you apply
it
Lesson 1: Decide on a product
What’s your skin type? How much
coverage will you need? Are you
comfortable with a full face of make
up or just want to try something
really light and simple?
For many women the thought of finding the right
foundation is as daunting as going on a blind date
to find a mate. You don’t know what to expect,
you’ve quiet likely never tried it before and if you
have, the last time you did it was a disaster! But
not to worry. Unfortunately, we can’t give you any
advice on the blind date but as for the makeup,
we’ve got you covered.
Lesson 2: Choosing your shade
Now that you’ve decided on what to buy the next challenge
will be to determine the perfect match for your
skin tone.
CREAMS
These tend to be popular among professional
artist but there is no reason
everyone can’t learn to master using
them. They generally come in compacts
or stick form. The coverage is
fuller than that offered
by liquids but
can still becontrolled
based on application.
