The most trending question of the hour, picking the right foundation shade speaks a lot about your personality and your usage of makeup. There are chances one may end up looking ridiculously fake when the math of your foundation goes all wrong. Unfortunately, this issue goes out of hand as proper methods aren’t opted while buying one. Don’t simply listen to the salesperson; take the task and decide on the one that helps you look flawlessly neat and natural.
This is the primary base cream and when foundations are chosen right, the entire look is under control without doubt. Here are a few hacks that let you find the right shade
- Do a patch test
Patch Test[/caption] Wait! While I say about getting a patch test done, it’s definitely not in your hand that you are supposed to do. Apply a little either on your jawline or neck, blend it well and check if the patch shows no distinction from the rest of the skin. - Mix shades
Customised shades[/caption] There are times when your favorite brand doesn’t hold the color you are looking for. In such cases, you can gladly blend two shades and go ahead with the makeup.This trick is something that even renowned makeup artists follow during times of need.
- Pick the darker tone

This will help you achieve a natural base rather than giving an overdone appeal. There are a few other points to note while you apply the base cream.

Rounded brush[/caption] - Yes, fingers aren’t the best option to blend it on your skin. Use a rounded brush or a similar makeup tool for some even tone.
- Similarly, make sure a matte or semi-matte foundation is chosen when you have an oily skin to deal with. This helps in retaining the makeup for long hours rather than simply becoming a mess from too much moisture.
compact powder[/caption] - Use a good amount of compact or mineral powder and evenly spread it over your foundation to set the makeup in good form.
Heading outside with mere foundation is the last thing you would want to do.
