Foundation Selection
The most important point that needs attention when choosing a foundation is to choose the appropriate cream for the skin tone. However, this is not as easy as it seems.
When you choose the color of the foundation, the result is not at all pleasant. After applying the foundation on your face, its color blends with your skin tone and creates various tones.
So much so that if you apply any cream on white paper, even it will show up in a certain color. But of course, when you apply this cream on skin of different shades, it will not show up in the color it appears on white paper.
It will even create various color tones on faces with different hues. Therefore, it is important to be very careful when choosing the color of the cream, and most importantly, to know the skin tone clearly.
Determining the skin tone is more difficult than it is thought. That's why women often misbehave when choosing a foundation.
After all; There are obvious or unpleasant colors on the face, such as a mask. Now let's move on to the hard side of the matter. So to the determination of the tones.
Every person has skin color and undertone. However, the undertone should not be confused with being white skinned or brunette.
It is the first shade you need to determine on your own skin during the foundation selection. If the sub-tone is determined correctly, the foundation selection can be made properly.
Incorrectly selected foundation tones create a gray, red, orange or blue color on the face. This causes a very bad appearance.
Undertone; It is divided into 3 groups as warm tones, cold tones and neutral. The easiest way to know your undertone is to look at the color of the veins visible on your wrists. If your veins appear sky-colored, you have a cool undertone, if it looks like green, then your skin is warm undertone.
Another method is to determine which colors suit you best. If you think that yellow and orange colors suit your skin and you give priority to these colors in your clothing, if you like blue and purple colors with warm undertones and think that silver colors suit you in your clothes, you have a cold undertone.
If all colors suit your skin tone and so to speak, "lighten your color", then you have a neutral undertone.
Now you know your own undertone and have chosen foundation creams that match your undertone. We came to the second and easiest stage of the election.
After determining our skin undertone, it is time to see the skin colors. Darker or lighter foundation. White or dark skin.
Of course, now, finally, you should choose the foundation cream that is neither dark nor light, only the closest to your own color among the colors that are suitable for your own undertone.
One of the most important part of choosing a foundation is how to determine the color of the cream while buying it. Most of you have probably heard the saying that while choosing a foundation, it is necessary to apply the cream to the inner part of the wrist and to choose the appropriate foundation cream for that tone.
Unfortunately, this false belief is very common and this method is still used. The point you need to know is that the skin of the face is exposed to the sun more than the inner part of the wrist.
Therefore, most of the time, the color of the facial skin is one or a few shades darker than the wrist. So, the foundation color chosen by applying it to the wrist in this way will remain very light for the face.
Therefore, when you go to buy foundation, do not have foundation on your face and try to apply the foundation on your face.
The most common mistakes when using foundation
Foundation is the foundation of makeup. Using the right foundation cream works for a lot of things, from covering up skin tone differences, imperfections to hiding blemishes, redness and pimples.
The wrong foundation selection and use is one of the most common makeup mistakes among women. The result is unnatural, unpleasant images on the face. Let's take a look at the most common mistakes when using foundation;
Wrong foundation choice
Choosing the wrong foundation comes first at the beginning of using the wrong foundation. When using foundation creams selected in a color that is not suitable for the skin tone, the foundation looks like a mask on the face.
This leads to an unnatural appearance. According to the information above, you can choose the foundation suitable for your skin tone.
Using too much foundation
In order for the foundation cream not to be noticeable and look even on your face, you should avoid excessive use of foundation and applying several layers of foundation in a row. There is no need to use large amounts of foundation on any skin type, including problem skin.
If you do not have many pimples and blemishes on your face, it will be sufficient to use very little foundation cream to even out the face tone.
Uneven foundation
In order for the foundation cream to integrate with the skin, it is important to spread it evenly on the face. You can use different shapes and sizes of sponges and brushes to spread the foundation cream evenly on the face.
With the right tool selection, it is not difficult to spread the foundation cream on the face to look natural.
Applying foundation to dry and chapped skin
Applying foundation to cracked and crusted facial skin is a grave situation. There is no such foundation; It should not be clumped into cracks and crusted parts of the skin and create an unattractive look.
For this, do not forget to moisturize your face in a timely manner and clean it from dead skin thoroughly. If you still have noticeably dry and cracked skin on your face, then take care not to apply foundation that day.
Facial tone creates a sharp color difference with other body parts
Last but not least, this foundation bug is considered one of the grossest makeup mistakes. During make-up, do not forget to move the foundation that gives color to the face, the make-up brush, sponge or foundation cream you apply to the face, whichever is the tool you apply, lightly move it towards the ear and neck areas.
Otherwise, even if you do not notice it while using make-up, your face tone and ear and neck tone will create sharp differences in light. Do not forget to color the ears as well as the face, especially on the days when you collect your hair.
Natural Makeup Tips
Looking beautiful is every woman's desire. Of course, the way to look more beautiful than it is is to use the right and effective make-up.
The purpose of the right make-up should consist of highlighting the beautiful face lines unique to each woman and hiding the flaws with the products used in place.
Unnatural and unnecessarily prominent make-up causes both an artificial appearance and an older appearance than desired. In particular, daily makeup should be as natural as possible.
For natural-looking make-up, we can list the subtleties you should always pay attention to as follows;
Neat face makeup
The first and most important requirement of natural make-up is natural face make-up. The more fresh and natural your skin looks, the more beautiful and natural your makeup will be. If there is a foundation that remains like paint and is prominent on your face, there is no point in how natural your eye and lip make-up looks.
Generally, facial make-up should make the skin look flawless and fresh by concealing facial imperfections, pimples and various blemishes, tonal differences, but at the same time, it should look minimal and natural at the same time.
For this, be sure to use the foundation that best suits your facial skin tone and type and to spread it evenly on your face. Do not use excessive amount of foundation.
Natural lips
Another of the basic conditions for natural make-up is natural lips. Many women overuse lipstick to make their lips look more voluminous than they actually are. This completely breaks the naturalness of the make-up.
Sometimes they even do it in such an exaggerated way that it creates a very funny look. This is one of those makeup mistakes you should never do.
Natural eyelashes
The first enemy of natural-looking eyelashes is dried mascara. If you notice that the mascara starts to dry after a while, replace it with a new one as soon as possible.
The first sign that the mascara begins to dry is that it leaves residue on the eyelashes and falls under the eyes later in the day.
This type of mascara gives the lashes a very solid look and creates an unnatural look because the lashes stick together.
Using 3-4 layers of mascara on top of each other to make it voluminous does not make the eyelashes look natural either. The lashes become hard like wood and look quite artificial. Apply up to 2 coats for a more natural look.
Correct eye makeup
It is possible to make natural eye makeup with properly selected skin colors. First of all, determine the eye make-up that suits your eye structure. It will be easier to use brown cream color range rather than obvious colors such as green, blue, purple to create a natural look.
When applying eye makeup, make sure to draw your eye-liner and eyeliner properly. If you are going to wear makeup during the day, avoid heavy eye makeup to achieve a natural look.
Smooth blush
When choosing blush, make sure it suits your skin tone. Because no matter how beautiful the color is, blushes that do not match your tone create an unpleasant image on your face.
If you are having difficulty choosing a color then I can say for help, light pink and light peach tones suit almost every lady.
When using blush, be careful not to apply blush to the lower part of your eyes. This looks very funny. Apply a small amount of blush on your cheekbones. Incorrectly used blush will cause all of your makeup to lose its natural appearance.
What Every Woman Should Have in her Makeup Bag
Moisturizer
Moisturizing is the foundation of makeup. Even if you have oily skin, you should not skip moisturizing because it helps regulate oil production.
Find a product suitable for your skin type and use it after cleansing your face. It is better to use a moisturizer that is light and quickly absorbed into the skin.
Astar
If you want your makeup to last all day long, the primer will show a magical effect. Not only does it create a smooth and flawless floor, it also makes the foundation easy to apply.
So if you are dealing with situations like large pores or redness, the liner will take care of everything, giving you velvety soft skin and minimizing the appearance of pores.
Foundation
The key to having flawless skin is through foundation. You should pay attention to the foundation selection and application stages mentioned above.
Concealer
Concealer is one of the most essential items in a makeup bag. Ideal for those who want to cover blemishes, rashes or under eye circles. Typically, it is best to apply concealer after foundation.
Allık
When applied correctly, it gives a young glow to the face. It is best to choose a color that compliments the skin tone. A color that is too bright for your skin tone will not look natural.
Eyeshadow Palette
The eyeshadow palette should contain all the colors you need to create the perfect natural makeup look.
Göz Kalemi
Eyeliner is an integral part of any makeup look. If you are not very skilled in applying it, it is best to start with eyeliner before moving on to a liquid eyeliner. However, you need to make room for both in your makeup bag.
Maskara
The mascara instantly adds volume, definition and length to the lashes. When choosing a mascara, you need to consider factors such as the brush shape and what the formula is designed to do.
It is best to curl your lashes before applying mascara because curling the lashes later will cause them to break and damage the makeup.
Makeup Brushes
How your makeup will show up depends largely on the brushes you use. You don't need a dozen brushes in your makeup bag. Just a few foundation brushes are sufficient.
Powder
The powder can be the savior when you need a quick touch-up. Carry it in your purse because it is quick and easy to use and helps to fix your makeup. It is highly recommended for those with oily or combination skin type.
Lipstick
A good lipstick color will not only help brighten your face but also prevent it from looking pale. For lip color, the options are endless.
