Having a flawless complexion is not an easy task. Especially when you know that makeup complexion is a bit of the basis of a perfectly successful makeup!

The problem is that many of us make mistakes with their foundation in their cheap makeup bags without realizing it.

Fortunately, we lift the veil on 5 missteps to avoid with your foundation and reveals all the secrets of a beautifully radiant complexion. But before, small upgrade.

A foundation, what is it for what?

Contrary to what one might think, the foundation does not serve to give a "tanned skin" effect to the face. Its role is to unify without necessarily "color" the skin.

This mission lies rather with the powders and blushes that are applied over a flawless complexion. After this information of the highest importance, here are the 5 mistakes not to commit to his foundation.

Choosing a foundation too dark

As we just said, a foundation is not supposed to give a tanned look. Since its primary goal is to correct the complexion for a " zero defect skin " result, it's no use choosing a foundation darker than the color of your skin.

It is imperative to choose a foundation of the same color as your natural skin tone to play on "tone on tone".

Tip: to find the right color for your skin, feel free to test the foundation on your neck in the light of day! The idea of the test in the hollow of the wrist, forget ...

Choosing the wrong foundation texture

Because each type of skin must be made up with great care, it is generally recommended to use:

For dry skin, creams stick for maximum comfort on the face,

For normal / combination skin, light foams or powder that does not grease or dry the skin,

Apply your foundation on the neck

Do not panic! We do not tell you not to make up your neck. But putting liquid foundation all over your neck for supposedly "avoiding the boundaries" is anything but a good idea.

First, because when you wear a white t-shirt, the collar is necessarily stained, and also because the neck is tinged, it's super weird.

The trick, to go from the tinted face skin to a non-made-up neck skin, is to apply the large brush of the mineral powder under the jaw to degrade the tint of the skin of the face ... to the neck!

But having a light hand on the brush stroke.

Do not apply your foundation with the right accessory

A foundation, according to its texture and according to the expected result, applies very specifically.

If you want a covering effect with a smooth foundation, pour it into the palm of your hand to heat it and use a brush to apply it by small touches on the forehead, nose, and cheekbones then pull towards the temples, ears, and maxillae.

If, on the other hand, you want a light effect, nothing better than applying it to the sponge. Just a few drops of foundation on the blender and apply it by tapping lightly on the areas to be unified.

Finally, to apply your blush, it is generally advisable to take a brush provided enough, flat and cut at an angle to sculpt the face more easily.

Do not let your foundation dry

Few people think, after applying the foundation, to let it dry. And yet, this is the secret of a perfect complexion!

To have the final rendering, it is imperative to give the foundation time so that it is "fixed" evenly on the face so that it can then apply the mineral powder or the blush.
