Choosing The Ultimate Foundation For The Ideal Glowing Complexion

Choosing The Ultimate Foundation For The Ideal Glowing Complexion

By:


Perusing the cosmetic aisles of my local super store happens to be a difficult job when I want to find the appropriate foundation for my face. The challenging part is determining the best color, and choosing the foundation that enhances my skin, and smells decent enough to wear throughout the day. Because there are never any viable samples or even a way to see if the color is a good match for my skin, I generally grab a bottle of foundation and hope for the best. I have learned to make a stop at my local mall beforehand to test potential foundations for these factors. And if they have a sale happening, all the better.

If you decide to visit your local department store cosmetics counter, make sure you have a clean face ready to test makeup. Skip the foundation, and go with little makeup on, try a nice moisturizer, a little lipstick, and some mascara. You want to start with a fresh palette when you are trying new cosmetics. It's just easier, and you get a better idea what shade to go with too.

Choose a few colors that are very close to your natural skin tone. Your jawline is the best testing area for new foundations. Put on a little, and blend. Take a look in the mirror, and see what you think about the color and texture of the makeup. Stand in the natural light if at all possible, and use a hand mirror to see if you like the foundation. The natural light is the best and true test to match your wonderful color.

When looking for a good foundation, think about your own skin type. Another point to consider is where will you be when you wear your foundation? Before you choose your shade of foundation, is it the right formula for you? Is the foundation better for dry skin, oily skin, or combination skin?

Matte cosmetics is really popular lately, but I have dry skin, and I am getting fine lines around my eyes, so I tend to pass on the matte foundations and go for the moisturizing liquids in the tubes, and mousse blends. I also live in a warm humid climate, and matte cosmetics doesn't hold up well in the heat. If you have oily or combination skin, and spend a lot of time in an office, than matte foundation just might be your best match.

Be beautiful, and have fun with your new makeup. Try different looks for daytime and a night on the town. Get a foundation with a little bronzer and shine in it to give yourself that natural healthy glow.
