How to make the most out of your foundation with these quick and easy tips!
When it's time to hit the town, wearing makeup is one of the first items on the 'to-do' list. Sure, it's fun to try different looks and feel like someone different for a day, but many of us simply want to achieve a daily beauty look that makes us look natural and have us be the best version of ourselves. Among the essential items that we must have in our cosmetic bag is foundation, which fortunately has become a multifunctional product that you can use for more purposes than you think.
So what are these elusive ways of using makeup foundation? Let the experts (makeup artists, celebs and well, us!) show you how! Here are several options that will illustrate just how the possibilities are truly endless and that you can use your foundation beyond its original function.
Two-in-one
Let's start with the basics - the main reason we use foundation is to cover those spots or imperfections that we may have on our complexion. In addition to finding a suitable tone, it is also ideal that it serves as a corrector, a function provided by the Clinique Beyond Perfecting Foundation + Concealer ($29.00), which offers a natural look and complete coverage without clogging the pores.
Where to apply it? On the forehead, cheeks and chin, not forgetting the most problematic areas, such as under the eyes and around the nose.
Firmness and radiance
If your purpose is to tighten that slightly flaccid skin, the Hourglass Illusion Hyaluronic Skin Tint ($55) is the perfect formula to promote a softer, firmer and more youthful complexion by filling those lines that cause wrinkles. Additionally it provides luminosity and helps protect your skin from the sun.
Matte coverage
You may also want to consider another essential: Maybelline Super Stick Multi-Use Foundation ($11.99), which comes in cream colored and matte effect that conceals, contours and covers. Its most important advantage is that it's easy to apply when it's time to wear your makeup or when you want to touch up. Its precision pointed mixing sponge is really that effective.
Sayonara, wrinkles!
In order to achieve that semi-transparent finish that perfectly covers your complexion while also minimizing those pesky wrinkles, try the No Makeup Foundation Serum Broad Spectrum SPF 25 ($60) from the Perricone MD line. It also acts as an antioxidant that will help clear up your skin.
Correction + Hydration
Another base that will help you fight the hands of time is the Josie Maran Argan Matchmaker Serum Foundation ($45). It softens and corrects the signs of aging, giving a very natural look that is appropriate for your skin tone. It also keeps greasy areas free of shine and those unwanted spots hydrated, which simulates a fresher and younger complexion. Are you ready to use it?
Mineral pigments
Blur those imperfections with the Koh Gen Do Moisture Foundation ($70), which will help you achieve a more even skintone thanks to its moisturizing ingredients and mineral pigments that soften the appearance of pores.
Now that you know all the ways to use foundation, don't wait any longer to start implementing these quick tips, renewing and eliminating those unwanted imperfections for a flawless makeup finish.
