Foundation

The first thing you have to have in mind when you want to start a make-up is preparing your face for it.It makes your face into a paint-ready canvas, so getting the right kind of foundation is very important to achieve a flawless face.

Types of foundation:

There are 4 types of foundation:powder,cream,mineral and liquid.

How to choose the one that suites your skin?

*Powder foundation:This type of foundation is good for mixed up to oily skin.Don't forget to use a cream before applying this type of foundation because it can easily make dry patches more obvious.It is best applied with a large powder brush.The bad part about this type of foundation is the fact that t coverage is sheer to medium.On the other hand,I found out that there is a powder based foundation wich has a good coverage at Il-makiage professional make-up.

*The liquid foundation is great for all types of skin esspecially dry skin because it also has moisturizing properties.The good thing about this type of foundation is the coverage wich is medium to full.This type of foundation gives you the flawless,airbrushed look.I usually use pharmaceutical products regarding the foundation because of the fact that they contain less harmful substances.For a good coverage you can try out La Roche Posay or Vichi and for a small,light coverage I use Bourjois Repulpant Reboosting foundation.
*Cream foundation: Good for normal to dry skin.People with fine lines should avoid this type of foundation.It is best applied with a wedge and not with your fingers.The coverage is medium to full and you can try out Smashbox Camera Ready Full Coverage wich you can find on the internet.

*Mineral foundation-is great for all skin types but don't forget to moisturize your skin before applying.You can apply it very easy with a brush because this type of foundation usually comes in a loose powder form.And you can try out Bare Escentuals bareMinerals wich you can find on the internet.

As for how to apply the foundation I'll give you some tips:

*Liquid and Cream Foundation: Best applied with fingers or a wedge. Dot all over the skin, and then blend by pressing the foundation into the skin. Make sure to blend out the line under the jaw.Don't forget to set the foundation with a powder to prevent the skin oils breaking down the foundation.

*Powder and Mineral Foundation: A moisturizer is the key, even if the powder has moisturizing properties.Apply with a brush specifically made for powder foundation.To add extra coverage, dot on extra powder with a concealer brush(photo on the right).
