Make Up:Foundation!


We all have some imperfections in our face which we don't like. The make up techniques and products are advancing now a days, it is a must to know how to correctly use these products on which we spend so much money.
Get the Perfect make up! If you have problems, consult us!
The purpose is to look as beautiful without looking like a clown.

Recently i happened to find a picture of celebrity, with a horrible make up, whom I was unable to recognize.
Doesn't she looks fammiliar? She is Catherine Zeta Jones. How awful a person can look if the makeup is not perfect!!
I know it happened with you too!! But its alright, there are days when we are not at our best! But how to avoid it. How to have a flawless make up done at home without any stylist? Don't worry Fashionistas, we are here to help you, to turn you into a gorgeous princess!!

Great use of foundation, bronzer and blush!
First of all we all need to recognize the skin type we have got, is it oily, normal or dry? If your skin is oily always prefer a matte finish foundation, you don't want to end up looking glossy and oily using a shiny foundation. Then we need to know what are we supposed to use a powder or a cream? If you have a dry skin, use a cream otherwise you should use a oil free cream or powder or both! The best for an oily skin is to use an oil free mousse and then touch up with a powder compact.If you are prone to break outs then use the foundation with sallicylic acid. Don't put a lot of it just an amount necssary to cover the skin imperfections. I have many readers who send us messages that they can't chose the right shade for themselves. You should know what is your skin tone, either skin tone is warm or cool. You can stand in sunlight and then see if your skin has green shade or brown shade, you fall in warm skin tone whereas if your skin tone is golden, pinkish and beige then you fall in cool skin tone.
Foundation shades!
Always use not more than two shades higher or lower than your original skin color, otherwise you will end up looking like an orange zebra or a vampire in the halloween. For cooler skin tones you should use lighter shades and for warmer skin tones should use dark shades. Apply the tester foundation on your inner arm region and see if it blends with your skin perfectly.

Now you can see the difference in using different shades of foundation.
There are so many different finishes in foundations today, so you need to decide what works best for you and your needs before selecting a foundation. This criterion may also be determined by your skin type needs mentioned above. 

We can even use Sheer or Natural Finish foundation for those natural beauties and people that do not need much coverage due to smooth, clear, even skin. These foundations are usually in liquid form and are almost the consistency of pure water. The medium Coverage foundations are thicker in consistency and provide some coverage for people with blemishes, discolorations or just uneven skin tones. They go on thicker and can be purchased in liquid form or compact form (like creams, sticks or cream to powder). Matte finish makeup usually has a good bit of coverage to offer. 
 The Powder Finish are wonderful for those with oily skin or combination skin because they tend to be thicker and the powder helps with shine.
Perfectly chosen foundation blends smoothly with your skin to give a gorgeous look!
