It’s All About The Base

The do's and don'ts of finding the right foundation

16 February 2015

If you’re searching for a new foundation, these are guidelines to remember:

DO

• Choose your shade in natural daylight.
• Start with a very light veil of foundation. You can always build up more coverage on top.
• Change shades between winter and summer. Your skin will usually be paler in the colder months.
• Start with a good moisturiser to help foundation apply evenly.

DON’T

• Test the shade on your hand or wrist. Your jawline is where the shade should be tested. Apply three different shades next to each other – the one that ‘disappears’ is the right shade for you.
• Use foundation all over your face if you need just a little to even out specific areas, like your nose and chin.
