Nowadays there are many means which help not only to emphasize natural advantages of your appearance but to conceal some lacks. One of these effective assistant in the fight for beauty is face foundation.

What suits you?

At first it is necessary to find out which type of skin you have, because the producers of decorative cosmetics product face foundation for each of us. So, for dry skin it is desirable to choose a foundation of oily texture, for example, dense foundation. Liquid face foundation is produced for all the types of skin. Dense foundation is good for dry skin and oil-free foundation is intended for oily skin. It is very difficult for ladies with oily skin to select proper foundation. They must take into consideration the rate of its oiliness. In this situation it's better to ask a professional cosmetician.

Choosing the colour

To choose the face foundation is better by day light. As a rule, to be sure about the number of the colour, the test-foundation is applied on the back side of a wrist. Cosmeticians-visagistes think that applying the cream directly on the face is preferable. The most important thing is correct choosing of the shade. The skin may be with either pink-reddish or yellow-brown shade. Pink-reddish women are thought as "cold type" and the yellow-brown - as "warm type". Take this into account while choosing the shades of the foundation. How can you understand that you've made the right choice? After applying the foundation you won't notice any difference in the skin colour, but the acne and pigment spots won't be seen.

Applying

Applying the face foundation needs some special skills. First the professionals advise to clean the skin and apply moistening cream - then the foundation will cover the skin smoothly. After moistening (wait a bit so that the cream could be absorbed) begin the priming. Squeeze out some foundation on the back side of your wrist and apply it in small portions on your face: forehead, cheeks, nose and chin. Then drive in the foundation with the tips of the fingers at the nose, external corners of the eyes, near the ears, under the chin. Wipe your face with a fine-pore sponge, desirably made of silicone rubber. The foundation will spread evenly and the sponge will absorb the surplus. The last step: when the foundation has been absorbed, powder the face with loose powder to fix the make-up properly. The powder must be a bit lighter than the foundation. The Nature didn't present the ideal appearance to all the women but nowadays everybody has an opportunity to be a beauty.
