Choosing
a New Foundation :
Are you a little nervous when it comes time to buy
a new bottle of foundation and you don't have a
clue what colour will work for you simply by looking
at the colour through the bottle? That happened
to me and I used this trick. Take your old bottle
with you and use it to match the colour on the new
foundation. Simply hold the old bottle up to the
new brand and find a match. Couldn't be simpler. |

Foundation
and Streaks :
Be sure to blend, blend, blend. Special areas to
watch is the hair and jaw line. And be sure that
your face isn't one colour and your neck another. |

Freckles
:
If your freckles are light, don't even try to cover
them up. Show them off by using a sheer foundation.
If you happen to have the darker ones that you just
can't live with, choose a cream foundation to cover
and even out skin tones. |

Getting
Your Skin Ready For Foundation :
Foundation flows on more smoothly if you have a
layer of moisturizer already in place. |

Ruddy
Skin Tones :
You can tone down a ruddy complexion with a beige
foundation |
| |
Setting
Foundation :
Loose powder apply generously with a puff and then
brush off the excess with a large natural bristled
brush will set your foundation for several hours. |
| |
Sponges
Wet or Dry :
I always apply foundation with a wet sea sponge.
I like this variety even more than the little wedges
that are available. When wet, the sponge promises
a sheer layer of coverage. Try it both ways, and
see which you prefer. |

Summer
Foundation vs. Winter Foundation :
You will no doubt find that the shade of foundation
that matches your skin colour will change with the
seasons. You might want to invest in a Bronzing
Liquid that you can mix into your "winter foundation"
so that it will match your tan. And don't mix it
in the bottle. Pour a little into your hand and
mix it there. |

Where
Do You Apply Foundation :
It is not necessary to cover your entire face. Dot
it only in the areas you might need it. In most
cases, you will find areas of you face that are
different shades. Your foundation will even them
out. |
