Choosing the Perfect Foundation

Foundation – Make-up Special

Foundation is an essential component in creating the perfect base for your client (or yourself!).

Foundation is one of the most important products for a make-up artist

According to Make-up Experts, there are three important tests that you need to complete to find that perfect foundation.

1. The correct shade
2. The correct texture
3. Make sure you apply it properly when testing – and in sufficient light.

Paul Herrington, head of artistry for Bobbi
Brown UK & Ireland, says: ‘When choosing foundation, one of the most important rules is that the shade blends exactly into the natural colour of your skin (never use a foundation to add colour). When the foundation is a good match, it will last longer as you’ll need to use it only in areas to even out the skin tone.’

Light diffusing mineral make-up foundation helps to reduce the visibility of lines and wrinkles.

You can also purchase foundation with anti-oxidising properties and with SPF factors that help to protect your skin.

It is important to select a foundation that matches your natural skin tone, this way it does not look peculiar, nor does it appear blotchy.

Foundation is a key component of most make-up selections.

Helena Rubenstein says: ‘Adjust your makeup to the light in which your wear it.’
