Choosing the right shade is very important while buying your foundation. Read on to find out if you are using the right foundation or not.
Are you heading to a party in the evening but looking dull and tired already? Try using a face foundation to perk up your face and look radiant. A foundation can help cover those puffy eyes, sullen cheeks and gives flawless look to the skin. But how do you choose the perfect foundation? It is extremely essential to understand your skin type to find out which type of foundation will suit your skin the best. Read on to know how to select a facial foundation that can keep looking you beautiful for a longer time.Types of the foundation
The market is cluttered with many types and brands of foundations. Foundations are available in the forms of liquids, creams, powders, gels, cakes and concealer sticks. Foundations in the form of creams are packed mostly in the jars. They contain high amount of oil. Liquids are usually light shades foundations and are available in bottles. Foundation in gel form comes in the squeeze tube. Cakes and sticks are considered heavy for everyday use but are best to be used on special occasions as they hide dark spots and blemishes effectively. You may choose your foundation according to your need. Moisture rich foundation is good for dry skin which helps to retain hydration and keeps irritation at bay. Those with oily skin should prefer foundation with oil control effect. Light reflecting foundations are good to bring back that gloss on dry and dull face. There are also foundations available for acne-prone skin. So if you wan to hide those little pimples on a special date, don't hesitate to use a foundation. Using a wrong foundation may form dry flakes on your skin making your face dull. Some foundations tend to form cracks if you sweat, avoid them. Try brands like L'oreal, Neutrogena mineral foundation, Oriflame, MAC or Body Shop. The right foundation is the key to get that drop dead gorgeous look.Foundation for your skin type
To understand which type of the foundation is suitable for you, first, you need to understand your skin type. Oil based foundations do wonders on dry skin as they add that additional moisture to the skin. On the other hand water based foundations are recommended for oily skin. If you are blessed with normal skin type then you are free to use any kind of foundation. Foundations in the cream and liquid forms are recommended for normal skin. Unlike oily skin normal skin can easily carry cream and liquid foundations.The colour of your skin
The shade of your foundation should blend with the colour of your natural skin. Pick up the shade that will match perfectly with your complexion. Selecting darker shade of the foundation for fair skin tone can mar your look. Whereas a lighter shade for dark skin can look very bad. Remember foundation is used to covers flaws and enhance your natural skin tone.Choosing the right foundation shade
The easy way to test the colour of your foundation is by applying it near your jaw line. The other area where you can test the shade of your foundation is the inside of your wrist or on your cheek. Do not make the mistake of testing the shade of the foundation on the back of your hand. The back of the hand is usually much darker than the face. You may end up picking the wrong shade if you use this method of testing. Always check the colour of your foundation in the sunlight. The natural light will show you the right shade of the foundation. It will help you to pick up the perfect shade that will match with your skin tone.Cover blemishes, scars and pores
The use of the right foundation helps balance the moisture level of the skin. Foundations work as oil blotters. They absorb the excessive amount of oil on the face and make it look clean. Application of the foundation covers pores making skin look even and smooth. Choosing the right shade of foundation will help you to hide those blemishes and dark circles under the eyes effectively. Foundation improvises your skin tone, texture and colour. Once you have bought the right foundation you are just a few minutes away to get creamy complexion that will get you showered with compliments. Apply tiny dots of the foundation on your forehead, cheeks, nose and chin. Blend it quickly but evenly with your fingertips or with a wet sponge. Blot the face with a dry tissue. Proceed with your make-up to to be the star of the evening at the party you are off to.Does the shade of your foundation match with your skin colour?

Comments: I was using a loose powder all over my face. Then I used to apply the foundation. Due to that I used to get very different shade of the colour than my original skin colour. Then a friend advised me to use moisturiser before making use of the foundation. I started following this instruction but still I was not happy with the shade. I realised that it is happening as I am using darker shade than my natural skin colour. I visited around two to three shops and browsed more than five brands and finally picked up the shade after detailed test on my face. The shopkeepers were gone mad as I am testing all shades. But I am happy that finally I got the answer to my problem. Use of the wrong shade had troubled me for all these days but now I have got the perfect shade.

Comments: I have very oily skin. I use natural scrubs to control the level of oil. I tried every kind of foundation on my face and finally got to know that foundation in the form of the powder works best for me. It absorbs excess oil from my face. It acts as a blotting paper. The humidity in the climate is responsible for humid skin. My oily skin gets oilier in such weather. I always carry a compact powder with me and give touch up to my face whenever required. It does not take much time. What you need is a compact powder, a small mirror and a sponge. Just few seconds and you can retain your fresh look for hours. That works for me.

Comments: This article will be really helpful to me. Whenever I test the shade of my foundation I test on the back of my hand. The same thing I do to test the shade of the lipstick. That is why sometimes I feel that I am not comfortable with the shade that I apply on my face. Now onwards I will check the shade on my cheek. That will be better. After all we are going to apply it on the face and not on the hand. So why to test it on the hand? I am going to forward this article to few of my friends who are still making the mistake of testing the shade of the foundation on their hands. They will sure find answers to their unsatisfied results out of the use of the foundation. Foundation is necessary to hide ageing lines and wrinkles. The use of the correct shade will help a lot.
