Women with oily and combination skin should pay attention to "Fit Me" Maybelline, which perfectly mattifies and hides enlarged pores. Also, "Super Stay 24" will allow you to create the perfect makeup that will last all day long.
Girls with skin prone to drynesssuitable "Affiniton", which includes vitamin E, a moisturizing complex, argan oil.
"Dream Satin Fluid" with a light and weightless texture will allow you to create a natural make-up for owners of normal skin.
When choosing a foundation, it is important to remember that ideally it should be slightly lighter than the natural skin tone. It is better to test the tool not on the arm, but on the lower part of the cheekbone, if possible in natural light. To do this, go to the window or go outside.
Don't use the same shade all year round. For the summer, you need to choose a cream a little darker because of the tan. It is better if it is a remedy with an SPF protection complex.
For girls with redness-prone skin, it is better to choose a product without a pink undertone. But such foundations are suitable for women with a gray skin tone.
Rules for applying foundation
The main rule of perfect makeup is to apply foundation on cleansed and pre-moisturized skin.
Cream is best applied with a flat brush or sponge. It must be distributed from the center of the face. Particular attention should be paid to the wings of the nose and chin. After that, it is worth blotting your face with a paper towel to remove excess cream. You can fix the result with the help of powder, applying it to the T-zone.
It is equally important not only to apply foundation correctly, but also to “remove” it from the face. To do this, it is better to use special makeup removers, and not just wash your face with soap.
AllMaybelline foundations can be easily removed from the face with macerated water or make-up remover milk.
