Foundation

Everyone’s different, but if I had to choose only one thing to put on in the morning, it would be foundation. I just feel it even’s out my skin tone and gives my face a more “porcelain” look. Also, having a round face, it makes it easier to countour my face if it starts all being the same tone with no blemishes or natural shading. When applying foundation, you can use two different shades in order to contour your face and add angles to give your face more of the desired oval shape. There are a few steps that must be followed in order to do this-

  1) Start with a foundation that matches your skin tone, and then get one that is only one shade darker

  2) First, apply the shade that matches your skin tone all over. Next, apply the darker shade to the hollows of your cheeks. If you can’t find them, suck in and apply the darker foundation to the part that is sucked in. Next, apply the darker shade to you temples, the area that is concaved between your cheeks and forehead. Make sure to blend this shade in very well so it does not stand out and there is not a line separating the two different shades. This may take  a little practice.

In my experience, I have found that liquid foundation works best. It is the easiest to blend and you can find ones that range from sheer to heavy coverage. It is very important when applying foundation to not apply too much to avoid looking “cakey” If you want a heavy coverage, do not apply more foundation, buy a foundation that is full coverage.

  I use Clinique foundation as I have found it is very easy to apply and it is what my dermatologist recommended to me. Also, for department stores, it’s not very expensive. If you prefer to pay less for your foundation, I recommend trying a few different brands and seeing which one works best for you. many drugstores will let yo return beauty products if yo are not satisfied.
