Things to keep in mind before investing in a Foundation
Beginner or pro, these pointers will undoubtedly be convenient in helping you make the right decision before starting your face foundation splurge.
Purpose of Purchase
First and foremost, you should be specific about what you’re looking for in a face foundation. It is always better to know in advance whether you want minimal coverage, a natural/medium or a full coverage look. Depending on these factors, you can pick a foundation formula that delivers a sheer, satin, dewy or matte look.
Skin Prep
A good skincare routine is a prerequisite to flawless foundation application. Ensure that you use good cleansing milk or a primer, followed by a moisturiser and serum to keep your skin plumped and finally, a primer before you begin your makeup. Following these steps would ensure that your skin doesn’t feel clogged and that the product spreads as seamlessly as possible.
Foundation Applicators
When it comes to choosing how to apply the foundation, it's best to consider a few things before rushing through. A damp beauty sponge is the most tested application technique that delivers a flawless airbrushed finish to your skin. But if you’re aiming for fuller coverage, you can also consider using a foundation brush for the application.
Choose the right foundation shade.
It all comes down to picking a best foundation shade that matches best with your skin tone. This can be the tricky part as most of us choose shades that are either too light or maybe a darker one. Choosing a foundation for wheatish skin, foundation for fair skin tone or foundation for medium skin tone can seem to be a little intimidating, but just by swatching the shades on your jawline and picking the one closest to your tone, your job becomes easier!
Consider your Skin Type
Your skin type plays a significant role in deciding what foundation you should pick. Foundations come in various formulations and textures, like serum foundation, satin foundations, matte foundations etc. it all depends on what formulation suits your skin type.
