Foundation!

Hi! Today we'll be talking about finding the perfect foundation color for your skin! It's important to find just the right color or you could either A) Look like a ghost or B) Look like an orange. Here's the steps to success in the foundation department.

Step 1: Find your general color (Light or dark)
Step 2: Find several colors in that area that look similar to your skin tone
Step 3: Remember, you can try as many colors as you want!
Step 4: Many people test foundations on their hands, that is not the way that you want to do it! Test it on your chest, and if your chest is a different color than your face, test it on your chin.
Step 5: If the color looks somewhat orangey, go lighter. If it makes you look like a ghost, go darker. Remember, finding the right foundation for you is trial and error. It also helps if you bring someone along with you, because you can't always see if a certain foundation is right for you, but someone else certainly can.

Application:

There are many things that you can use to apply foundation, they make brushes, makeup sponges and some people like to use their hands. I use my hands because it's easier to blend. Use whatever you have and put it on your face and lightly on your neck so that you don't have a line. Also, you don't want streaks, so beware! Be careful to blend it as well! And remember, less is more!

Lots Of Love,
Charline
