Liquid Foundation for Flawless Skin

How to choose your liquid foundation?
The right color . Even if the liquid foundations now blend perfectly into the skin, you are never safe from an ugly demarcation at the neck. This is why it is always necessary to test the color of the foundation . Several schools on the subject ... but the indisputable test zone remains the bone of his jaw , at the level of the oval of the face. The right color should be that of the epidermis. A hesitation between 2 shades? The clearer one is chosen which ensures a more luminous finish. For a good look and more: you put a touch of blush or sunshine.

Different renderings on the skin . Between foundations, fluids, gels and serums, one can quickly feel a little lost among the new generations of liquid foundations ... A few simple rules make it possible to see a little more clear:
- The thicker the texture of the foundation (cream or fluid type), the greater its coverage . On the contrary, the more the foundation is rich in water (such as the water or the complexion serums), the more it will have a transparent and invisible finish on the skin .
- One can also realize the rendering (but not the right color) of a liquid foundation by applying it on the back of his hand . A tip that also allows to "feel" its texture and to find if its finish is rather matte, glowy (shiny) or satin.

How to apply a liquid foundation?
This is a matter of taste and habit of make-up.
With the fingers. This is certainly the simplest and most intuitive method . A product is heated between its fingers and the liquid foundation is applied by stretching it from the inside to the outside of the face . The gesture makes it possible to make well penetrate the material and that this one merges with the skin. To avoid any demarcation, you end by tapping the material with your fingertips .

With brush. A technique a bit arduous for an ultra pro result. Unlike the application to the fingers, the brush allows you to play with the cover and get a perfect skin podium way. The only catch: you lose a little matter in the hairs. For a pro result, apply its liquid foundation by making small circular movements and stretching the material towards the temples, forehead and neck to avoid demarcations. Our advice: we train several times with his make up to master the gesture the day we decide to adopt it really.

Spongebob. This is the other technique pampered by the pros. Like the brush, the sponge tends to "drink" the material, and we lose a little product with each application. Its trump: an ultra natural result, like a second skin. Good gesture: small taping from the center to the outside of the face.
