6 Secret Tips to Help You Find the Perfect Foundation!

A perfect makeup mostly depends on a perfect foundation. But it’s very difficult for everyone to find the perfect foundation match for their skin. Which is the right shade to match the skin tone? What should be the texture according to the skin type? etc. etc… endless confusions to solve!  

So, to clear all your confusions, I am going to share some amazing tips today! By following them, you can easily select a foundation that’s perfect for you!  

 

Stay Away from Online Shopping!  

We all know, how much you love online shopping! But… if you are not quite sure of your shade or you haven’t used that foundation earlier, you must avoid buying foundations online. Because, at online the foundation shades’ swatches may vary and deceive you easily. 

 

After testing, wait for a while 

Some of us test the foundation on the skin and buys it immediately. But my suggestion to you all is, wait a while after testing. The reason is because, after applying the foundation it mixes with the oil of the skin and oxidizes with the air. This may change the shade to some extent. So, wait a while and be sure of the shade.

 

Stay alert of shinning lights  

Most of the time the real shade of the foundation can’t be understood due to extra lights. So, try to see the foundation shade under natural light / sunlight.

Test on the jaw line 

Another important tip to match the perfect shade of the foundation is testing it on the jaw line. It’s because the jaw line clearly reflects the true undertone of your skin. And you can easily understand if the foundation perfectly matches your skin tone or not!  

 

Foundation should be one or two shade lighter than your skin tone 

Some say, "Foundation should be lighter than skin tone”. While others say, “It should be a perfect match to the skin tone"! To avoid such confusions, keep these simple tips in mind from now on. 
According to the beauty experts, foundation should always be one or two shades lighter than skin tone. Because when you apply bronzer or contour, it will blend with the foundation to give you a perfect look. During the daytime, the foundation mixes with the air and oxidizes. So, if the shade is one or two tone lighter, the color stays the same even after oxidizing.

Match with your skin type

Like every other beauty product, foundation also should be chosen according to your skin type. For oily skin, oil free, light weight and matte finish foundation are the best ones. And if your skin type is dry, select hydrating foundation. And if your skin is sensitive, check beforehand if it is hypo-allergic or not. Having a hypo-allergic tag on any of the makeup or beauty product means that it produces less allergic reactions on the skin than other beauty products.  

Finding the right foundation can be a daunting task. But if you follow these tips, you will be able to select the perfect shade of foundation for yourself, very easily!
