Indirect natural light is best for makeup application.Harsh
sunlight casts shadows and fluorescent light tends to make your skin
look sallow.If you are making up by indoor light,make sure your face
is evenly lit from both sides,ideally by incandescent bulbs of between
sixty and one hundred watts.

Careful,light-handed application is key.For a perfect finish, use
precision tools-sponges for blending foundation and flutty brushes for
dusting powder.Total matte is best for young skins while older skins
need more reflection to diminish tiny lines.Before you apply
foundation,you must prime your skin by cleansing,toning and
moisturising.This A.M. skin-prepping is essential for makeup
longevity.More than that,if you skip this step,you may find that your
skin is tacky which discourages your foundation from spreading
easily.Do wait for a few minutes to let the moisturise be absorbed.
Then even out your skin tone with the correct colour corrector.Now,
here are the application tips for a smooth finish.
1. With clean fingertips,take foundation either directly from the
bottle or from a blob in the palm of your hand.
2.’Dot’ foundation on the forehead,nose cheeks and chin.
3.Using a moistened sponge to insure that you won’t use too much and
to give the most natural results ,blend the foundation using light
outward and upward strokes.

Beauty tips from home-Selective Make Up!

If you avoid using foundation,believing that it would make you look
too made-up or that it is bad for your complexion,think again.Consider
this fact:every woman needs a first rate makeup base to even out skin
colourings,camouflage trouble spots,help blusher and powder go on
smoothly,last longer and look better.So a good foundation lets you
pare down easily with dual,triple even quadruple functions.If your
complexion is remarkably good,you may use foundation only where it is
needed to even out colouring,usually around the nose area.Equally
important -it protects the skin by creating a barrier against dirt and
pollution in the environment.As long as it is properly used and
removed ,using foundation will not clog your pores.In fact many
foundations now come with added skin-saving ingredients like
moisturisers ane unscreens.

MAKING THE PERFECT MATCH

Think of your foundation as a second skin-it should look
natural,never obvious.Above all,it should choose a foundation that is
in your own true skin tone,no more than either one shade lighter or
darker.Your foundation should also be suitable for your skin type and
general needs.
Your skin tone is the starting point. Study your face closely and
you will be able to discern a natural pinkness or beigeness.If you are
still unsure of your undertone,take a piece of white paper and place
it next to your face.
HOW TO GOOF-PROOF YOUR FOUNDATION SHOPPING
Many woman make the mistake of buying the wrong colour
foundation.To avoid that,always test the foundation in indirect
natural light.Harsh sunlight casts shadows and fluorescent light tends
to make your skin look gray.You can’t depend on the colour in the
bottle to give you a true colour reading as it usuaky seems darker
than on your skin.Further more,you are likely to be looking at it
under fluorescent store lights which distort colours.
To find the foundation that matches your skin,test several shades
on the jawline.Do not test on your wrist skin differ from your facial
skin.Check the results in natural light and go for the colour that
nearly looks’invisible’-the one that usually seems to disappear into
surrounding skin.A distinct line means it is too dark;a chalky
appearence means it is too light.Cant find a perfect match?Err a bit
on the yellow side.Foundations with pink or orange tones in them can
look artificial or just plain gray on skin.
