pro tips foundation the perfect Tips and tricks for your flawless looks How to define the right shade of foundation? The best one should be invisible after application on your cheeks and chin area. Before applying the foundation, be sure to use your day moisturizer and let it sink in properly. Afterwards, if your makeup has to last through a late night, use primer that minimizes pores and mattifies your face. When shopping for a new foundation do not forget to take a small mirror with you so that you could test the color on the cheeks and check it out in front of the store in a daylight. Remember: shades that look good under an artificial light look completely different in a daylight. { If you use a liquid foundation, shake it well before use. Color pigments could settle on the bottom of the product and the result would not be perfect. } If you want just a little coverage use your fingers, for more coverage, use a sponge or a brush. You don’t have to use foundation on the whole face - for everyday, dab it only where you need it to hide pimples, or camouflage some redness. Always use a concealer after foundation to achieve a more flawless finish. It should be one shade lighter, applied with a small brush. Avoid layering too much concealer though as it may look too obvious. click 2buy 35
