Get your FOUNDATION RIGHT

The trick to healthy, flawless and beautiful complexion lies in choosing the right foundation for your skin type.

Why do we wear makeup? To lend a flawless and evenly textured look to the skin. And I have found that foundation is the surest way to get that smooth and even skin tone we want.

Consistency and color count when it comes to creating a good base for the face. However, creating a thick, matt mask on the face is a big no; it lends a cakey and artificial look to the skin. Thanks to technology, foundations now reflect light and almost look three dimensional. This gives the modern base the appearance of natural and glowing skin. Considering we all have a unique face canvas to work with, it makes sense that we have an individual make-up tailored to our personal needs.

While we have a plethora of products to choose from, make-up foundations will certainly become bespoke in the future as the consumer will soon demand tailormade texture and complexion.

Wearing the right foundation that also is broad-spectrum sunscreen is essential for everyone to apply daily. However, the type of foundation varies from one skin type to another. Let’s understand the plethora of the bases of foundations and how they work on the skin.
