Monsoon Makeup Tips: How oT Use Foundations
![]() |
Perfect makeup begins with foundation. It is the initial and basic layer of makeup which is applied on the face, for the purpose of either enhancing its appearance, or in covering up pimples and blemishes. There are a variety of types out on the market, each with its distinct finish or level of coverage. It may come in different forms, such as in a spray canister, in a gel based consistency, in liquid or in compact powder forms. If foundation is applied properly, it can lend the face that smooth, flawless look, while giving the illusion that it is not made up, but rather natural in appearance.
The foundation you should choose from should fulfill the initial requirement of including an SPF of at least 15, especially if you intend to use it often. In the summer, this is particularly important, since the sun contributes at least ten percent to the signs of premature skin aging. Antioxidant additives also help in protecting the skin from premature aging; as much as possible, also choose variants with light-reflecting pigments, as this lends the skin its flawless sheen and luminosity, and diverts attention away from areas with dark spots and sallow blotches.
The first thing to consider before choosing foundation makeup or applying it is your skin type. If you have a particularly sensitive skin, then choose those with which do not include irritants in the formulation, such as fragrance additives, chemically-based sunscreens, or alpha hydroxyl acids. If your skin is of the mature and dry type, then the rich and creamy variety is the best to use, as these contain emollient ingredients and antioxidants which help boost the skin’s moisture content and protect it from undue damage from the elements. Those with oily skin will do best to use formulations which are not oil-based, but instead contain oil absorbers which help in maintaining the shine off of the face for longer periods. People with normal skin types are compatible with any foundation. As a general rule, though, all skin types may be complemented with oil-free foundation.
