Foundation shades

Very often, girls face problems when choosing a foundation, since it should not only perfectly mask any imperfections, but also even out the tone of the face, and also fit the skin type. The beauty of the entire make-up as a whole will directly depend on how well the foundation is chosen.

In the manufacture of tonal products, manufacturers often produce many different shades - for each line of cosmetic products. Their number can sometimes reach fifteen or twenty or more.

The most popular shades that are usually presented by all the most famous brands are peach, sandy beige, ivory, golden beige (“light tan”), juicy sunny, porcelain, porcelain color (without yellow), green with a yellow undertone, as well as without yellowness, sandy, caramel and many others.

Note: even if the foundation comes in a transparent container, there is no way to determine how it will look on your skin. It will not work and pick up a shade of cream according to the palette in the magazine. The selection of a foundation can only be done by applying different shades of the product to your skin.You can do this in specialized cosmetic stores, on the windows of which there are samplers of each cosmetic product on sale.

Remember: choosing the wrong tone of the cream, you risk spoiling the entire makeup. In this case, the skin of the face will look unnatural, and it may also be very different in color from the neck and other exposed areas of the body.

Finding the perfect tool is very simple - just conduct a simple test. You need to apply a little foundation on the cheekbones, wrist or chin. If possible, it is better to apply the product on the face. Be sure to wait five minutes after application.

When choosing a foundation, you must first determine what skin tone you have. To do this, just look closely at your wrist in natural light. Pay attention to the wreaths on the hands. If their shade is slightly bluish, your tone is cold, but if the wreaths have greenish, yellowish or olive hues, your tone is warm.

If you cannot unequivocally decide what tone you have (warm or cold), you can opt for products with neutral colors, which are universal for all types.

Very often, when choosing a shade of foundation, ladies are guided by skin color. There are two main types:

1. Reddish pink skin (found in people with good active blood circulation) - a cream in pink shades is suitable for such girls.
2. Tan skin (found in people with a high content of melanin) - owners of this type are ideally suited for golden and brown shades of tonal products.

Many makeup artists who are guided by the basic rules of cosmetology advise when choosing a foundation to take a product one tone lighter than the skin tone. Thanks to this, the tone will look more natural and give the skin of the face freshness and beauty.

Many cosmetic companies are engaged in the production of tonal products, among which there are brands that are very popular and in demand among customers. it Avon, Faberlic, Maybelline, L'Oreal, Max Factor and many others.

When choosing a manufacturer, pay attention to a few key important points:

• product characteristics;
• the presence of the shade of the product you need in the manufacturer's palette;
• cream consistency;
• the presence of the required amount of funds and a dispenser convenient for you;
• price range;
• additional properties (sun protection, nutrition, tightening and many others).

On the Internet, many fashionistas share their reviews about all kinds of tonal products from different manufacturers. They like some brands more, others less. This is not surprising, because the choice of cosmetics is a purely individual matter. What suits one person perfectly may not suit another.

You can choose a tool that is 100% right for you, only in a practical way. However, be sure to also pay attention to the reviews of girls on various forums - so you can at least single out favorites for yourself and weed out completely low-quality products.

On one issue, however, the opinions of all the girls agree. If you correctly select and correctly apply the foundation, it will not only hide all the imperfections of the skin of the face, but will also protect it from ultraviolet rays and other external negative influences. The foundation will nourish the skin, keeping it young, healthy and beautiful.
