HOW TO CHOOSE THE PERFECT FOUNDATION- PART 2



Now that you've found the perfect foundation, here are some pointers for maintaining the perfect face.

Tools for Flawless Foundation All Day:
·       Blotting sheets: Great for removing oil not makeup off your face. You can then re apply powder if you’d like. Foundation will not look cakey using blotting sheets first.
·      Face Primer: Use this before applying any foundation. This will help conceal pores and fight off oil during the day. Your foundation will last longer and look fresh longer.

*As you age, remember to re evaluate your skin type and foundation formula you are using. 
*You may need to change formulas or choose skin care/foundation with anti aging properties in them.

Easy Tips for looking great all day:
·       If your foundation looks white or grey in pictures you have chosen the wrong color. Pictures tell us the real deal. 
·      If your foundation clumps or sits in certain areas on your face and does not look smooth try exfoliation during your skin care regimen. This will help eliminate dead skin and leave you with a smooth face.
·      If your foundation leaves a trail (i.e. rubs off on everything) try setting it with loose or pressed powder right after foundation. Powder is essential for liquid and cream foundation. Your body temperature heats up the foundation and causes it to slide around if touched.
