Finding the ideal makeup base can seem like an impossible mission and we know how hard it is to get you perfect match. When choosing the ideal base, try it on the neck area and not in the hand, so that the skin color looks more like the face. If you’re looking for a natural effect, go for a medium coverage base, high coverage is perfect for big occasions. Products that brighten the skin also give it a more natural effect than matte ones. Keep in mind that if you want to look darker, you should use a suntan powder and not a dark base as the make-up cut would be too noticeable. The products oil-free they are best for acne problems and those with anti-aging active ingredients are perfect for mature skin. Our recommendation? If you can, test your foundation on a sample before you buy it to see how it looks on you in natural light.
Moisten your face well before applying your makeup base. For special occasions, scrub your face a few hours before applying makeup to avoid foundation cracking. Dry skin needs a liquid base to provide extra hydration and comfort. Oily and combination skin needs a foundation that covers imperfections, refines pores and confirms radiance. If you want to naturally unify the tone, try a BB cream.
Do you use the same makeup base in the summer as in the winter? Error! Of course, unless you keep the same color all year round. The ideal would be to have two different shades, one lighter for the colder months of the year when you’re not sunbathing and another a few shades darker for the summer. Oh! And remember that your summer base should be lighter.
