Beauty blunder:the wrong foundation

Beauty blunder:the wrong foundation

Finding the right shade of foundation is difficult. Have you just discovered your color, summer is coming and you need a shade darker, don't you?

Invisible
With a foundation you make the skin even and flawless, therefore the foundation must be invisible. It is a matter of trial and error, so try out as many samples as possible and ask for advice from various make-up counters.

Test in different places
Not only your skin color, but also your skin type plays a role. Preferably test a foundation on the face:on the forehead, next to the nose or above the jawline. Also see how it looks in artificial and natural light. Can't see the foundation? Then you have the right color for your skin.

Never choose too dark
Do you think your face is still a bit pale and do you want to do something about it? Never buy a foundation darker than your skin tone. You may think that solves the problem, but it isn't. It is quite strange if your neck and hands have a much lighter color.

Still a healthy tan
Do you want to get rid of that pale toe? A bronze powder - make sure that the glitters are not too big - over your foundation offers a solution. Keep it subtle:with a large brush, only apply powder where the sun normally tans the skin. That's on your forehead, cheekbones, nose and chin.
