What about the finishes?
✴ If you have a dry skin and like a luminous finish, the Chanel Vitalumière is the solution to tired , dull and dry skins. Can mitigate a sallow skin, since it is formulated with reflector pigments and atracts the light. Average coverage, you can cover up imperfections, with no sacrifice of a a natural finish. The texture is creamy, fluid and leaves the skin very bright and with a natural freshness.
✴ If you have combination skin and need to control the oiliness of the T zone and stay flawless all day, without sacrificing a natural finish, the Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra 24h is the right choose for you. Resists trought the challenges of the day, as it is long-wearing, but has a very comfortable texture. The finish is matte, velvety and uniform.
✴ If you have oily skin, choose lines that are matte or oil-free. In this case, we've select the Clarins Ever Matte Foundation, wich has a fluid texture, that merges naturally with your skin. If you have blemishes, it is advisable to apply a thin layer and then reinforce the coverage just where you need: tabs of the nose, small reliefs, stains, etc. This is long-lasting foundation, which is a guarantee of perfect skin without great retouching needs, since it contains a complex of plant extracts that absorbs the sebum and regulates their production. In addition, has reflective properties of light, which helps simulate a perfect skin.
How to apply?
There are different ways to apply fluid foundations, that you should adopt regarding the finish you want.
✴ Apply the foundation with brush is always a good option, since it is faster and gives a very natural and polished finish. For a more compact application, a spatulated brush, may be the ideal option. With short strokes, can concentrate product in certain areas. The round brush allows an application in circular motions and a more polished finish.
✴ Your hands are the most immediate and practical way to apply liquid foundations, with the advantage of helping the product to merge, by the action of the heat of skin. The application is similar when you apply a cream, but only in areas that is needed and always from the inside of the face towards the edges.
✴ Then, the ex-libris of a perfect foundation application (but also of creams, seruns, primers or powder): the Beauty Blender. It's fantastic! It ensures a perfect finish as it helps the product to sink in the skin. Its ergonomic shape, without edges, provides a flawless application, less waste of product and a professional finish. The unique and super smooth material ensures that the product isn't absorbed by the sponge, decreasing the waste. In addition, does not create lines and minimizes the smearing. The technique you should follow is to moisten the sponge with water, to activate the open-cell texture, allowing its great performance. Don't forget to wash your Beauty Blender on a regular basis to avoid the proliferation of fungi or mold. You can do it with a gentle washing product or the Beauty Blender soap. It is a perfect match!
