FOUNDATION 101:shopping and application tip for that flawless natural finish

HEY FABULOUS BEAUTY ADDICTS!

we walk into a store with just the color of foundation we want in mind without thinking about the most important thing when it comes to foundations..

Black women scar easily from acne and when it comes to covering up acnes or black spots we need more coverage.So today I'm giving tips on how and what kind of foundation to apply for different kind of skin,but first-->

Some foundation shopping tips:

1.if you're going for a full coverage..test the foundation on your jaw line(that's your truest color)don't just buy a foundation and walk out of the store without trying it in your skin

2.YOU DON'T HAVE TO GET EVERYTHING FROM ONE LINE..just cause you just got an iman foundation doesn't mean you have to buy an iman powder.if after applying the foundation you try the powder and you look kind of gray.try out other products..

  For people with deep skins,products like black opal,mac cosmetics,bobbi brown come in colors ranging from light to very dark skin,i'm talking supermodel alek wek kind of deep.For skin this deep,products like Mac foundation in "NW 55" and black opal "ebony brown" only to mention a few...so don't let anybody tell you your too dark foundation don't come in very deep colors bla bla..go to a good cosmetics store,take your Time and ask questions.

      Alek wek..she looks very flawless

•For full coverage cream foundations is recommended..that doesn't mean apply all over your face.apply on affected areas and blend..if you're oily use a primer.

•For medium coverage,that is not a lot acne you just want to even out your skin tone it's advisable to mix your liquid foundation with a little primer or go for a cream to powder formula..

•For medium coverage it's advisable to use just powder..my sister has a very smooth face and most of the time I use just powder on her or my Mac studio finish cream to powder..but if you most use a foundation be sure to mix with the same amount of primer as the foundation ..   APPLICATION

Get a sponge or a brush ..people apply with their fingers. But I advice you to get a sponge or a foundation brush to keep to reduce bacteria therefore reducing risk of getting acne

•apply a primer especially for people with oily face

•Dab you foundation not a lot just little (depends on the coverage)to the sides if your nose,chin snd forehead then blend.be sure to blend into your hair line jawline,ear and neck there shouldn't be any noticeable lines..apply concealer if necessary to the areas you think you need to and blend thoroughly then set with powder..translucent or matte whichever one to give it a flawless natural finish..
