Choosing the right foundation is perhaps one of the most important things a girl has to do. We all know and have seen what happens when we get it wrong – ghostly white or “cheezel” orange. It’s important to remember that the colour of foundation you choose should be an exact match to your skin tone. When looking for a new foundation, test it on your face – there is no point testing it on the inside of your wrist or on the back of your hand – cause you’re not going to be wearing it there!
Always, when buying a new foundation have your consultant apply a full face of it, preferably during daylight hours. This gives you an opportunity to see what the product feels like on and to see that the colour matches your skin tone exactly.
There are many foundation formulas available. Choosing one that suits your skin type will ensure a hassle free and long lasting application and applying your foundation with a brush gives a flawless airbrushed finish. Foundation will become part of the skin rather than just sitting on the surface.
Lots of girls ask us "Why does my foundation separate and look all patchy after a few hours of being on?"And the answer is this could be due to a number of things.
Most commonly that the texture of foundation is too nourishing or the skin needs a really good exfoliate. Using a primer, such as our “Perfect Primer” (a clear gel like lotion) helps to get foundation to “stick”, increasing the durability of your application. Using an exfoliator will help even out the texture of the skin by removing any build up of dead skin cells.
