5 Minutes to a Creamy Complexion
May 4, 2009
In a rush to get to work, college or some important event? Don’t make the mistake of leaving off your foundation!
Sometimes we can get by with just a quick dab of lipstick, if our faces are clean and our skin is healthy. However, even the most naturally beautiful women benefit from the proper application of foundation to make their skin look smooth and flawless.
First, choose a foundation that’s right for your skin, whether it’s normal, dry, oily or sensitive. Use a cream foundation rich with moisturizers if you have dry skin. Water-based foundations, often with oil-control, are better for oily skin. If you have normal skin, you can use any foundation formula that looks good on you.
Next, make sure your foundation matches your skin tone. Don’t think that going lighter or darker than your natural shade will improve your looks; it won’t.
To choose the right shade, apply a sample of foundation along your jaw line or on the inside of your wrist. Check it in sunlight or under a special “natural” light at the cosmetic counter, if one is available. This is the best way to assure you’re picking the shade of foundation that will match your facial skin tone.
In the palm of your hand, mix your foundation with a drop or two of extra moisturizer. Most skin types suffer from dehydration, even though it may not seem like it. Besides, extra moisturizer will add a bit more sheen to your face, making it look fresh and dewy.
Use a sponge or a brush to apply your foundation, depending on whether it’s liquid or creamy. Using a sponge or brush will ensure an even, blended application. An applicator also will reduce the transfer of germs into your foundation or onto your face, so you won’t get skin breakouts.
“Set” your foundation, with an application of loose powder on a brush. Dip the brush into the loose powder, then gently blow the excess off, and apply to your face. Loose powder, rather than pressed powder from a compact, helps the foundation adhere to your skin. It also provides a base for any powder blusher you may want to add. Use your pressed-powder compact only for touch-ups when you’re out.
Now look in the mirror. There’s a beautiful woman with a smooth, evenly toned complexion. And it only took five minutes!
