Finding that Foundation
There are hundreds of different foundation and concealer types and
tones for every kind of skin. A simple way to figure out which concealer you
should invest in is to determine the occasion. Since this is prom you might want
one with a slight heavier coverage. You want to purchase a concealer up to two
shades lighter than your actual skin color. If you seem to have redness or purple
under your eyes or certain areas of your face and want them covered do not
apply a concealer unless it is green to cancel out the red or yellow or orange to
cancel out the purple. An average concealer is made to act as a highlighter and is
applied to specific areas on the face to enhance highlight points such as
cheekbones. Now onto the Foundation. Once you have determined the type of
foundation which best suits your skin type, you can carry on to find the best tone
to match your skin color. A recommended way to do this is to take the
foundation you choose and apply it to your jaw/ chin area. Blending it as best
you can and see if the foundation matches well. For everyday use a light mousse
or cream is best. As for prom a little heavier foundation is appropriate such as
MAC or Photo Ready for example.
