Foundation Reveal Q1.What are the most important qualities a good foundation should have?
A: Whether a foundation is good or not is really a matter of opinion. Some people want a fresh, natural feel to their foundation, others prefer a foundation that is highly moisturizing, and still others are particularly picky about the coverage of their foundation. So if you have to give an answer, I think the foundation that suits you is the best foundation.
Q2. Any special advice on choosing a foundation for winter?
A: My personal opinion is that in winter, you can pick a foundation with moisturizing and maintenance effects, which will be more suitable for the dry and cold climate to bring changes and effects on the skin.
Q3. How do I pick the best foundation color for me?
A: The choice of foundation should pay attention to color gradation and tone, two factors. Choosing a foundation that suits your color scale means choosing a foundation that is exactly the same color as your skin, so that others can't see the difference in color. And when it comes to the shade of your foundation, this factor will determine the purity of your skin after you apply your makeup. The same goes for yellow skin, which can be divided into cool-toned yellow, and warm-toned yellow. The key to skin tone is the distribution of veins on the surface of the skin. The more visible the blue veins, the more inclined to cool-toned skin, you should choose a pinkish tone, a little more gray foundation, product color labeling is usually indicated by the word OP. The warmer the tone of the skin, it is suitable to choose the ivory color system of foundation, the product will usually be marked with OC.
If you really can't figure out how to do all of these things, doing something as simple as this can help you pick out the foundation that's best for you: Apply the foundation to the inside of your arm in shades of different shades, and spread it a little thicker. Wait a few minutes, and the one that feels most natural and closest to your skin color is the foundation you want to choose.
Q4. Should I choose a mineral foundation for sensitive skin? Do mineral foundation products clog pores?
A: The powder particles of mineral powder are natural. The zinc oxide in minerals has anti-inflammatory and calming sedative properties. In addition, minerals are inanimate objects, unlike products made from animal and plant ingredients, which require the addition of chemicals that may cause skin sensitivity in order to preserve longevity and inhibit bacterial growth. The color development of foundation made of mineral powder is also the color of the mineral itself, so there is no artificial coloring in it. Therefore, pure mineral powder foundation, no irritation to the skin, or very little irritation, it is recommended that easily sensitive skin can be used as the main choice of base makeup products. As for the question of whether mineral powder will block pores, in fact, as long as you do a good job of removing makeup and cleaning, such a worry is superfluous.
Q5. What's the difference between a foundation, a cream and a foundation, and what kind of skin are they for?
A: Foundation is the most liquid base makeup product, the advantage is high transparency, good ductility, but relatively low coverage, more suitable for people with not too many skin blemishes. Foundation cream, powder content is higher than foundation liquid, the oil content is also relatively high, but still maintains more than half of the water content, concealer is better than foundation liquid, but the sense of transparency is reduced, more suitable for skin imperfections, or mature skin and very dry skin people use. Foundation cream, the powder content is higher than the foundation cream, liquidity is almost zero, coverage is very good, high proportion of oil, so the waterproof effect is good, not easy to take off, but the moisturizing power is poor, so it is not recommended for people with dry skin.
Q6. What are the tips to make the base makeup more convincing and the makeup more lasting?
A: It's important to moisturize your skin before makeup to make it last. The skin is full of water, compensatory oil phenomenon will be reduced, which in turn reduces the possibility of makeup removal. In addition, the bottom of the lasting, to follow a small amount of law, not the bottom of the thicker the more lasting, on the contrary, that will only make the makeup feel heavy fill service, the speed of makeup will be accelerated. The most important thing to remember is that you have to be diligent in applying your makeup, and that's what you're doing.
Q7. Are there any special tips for using foundation?
A: In winter, if you feel that your foundation is not moisturized enough, you can mix your moisturizer or moisturizing lotion with your foundation at a ratio of 1:1, which will also make your foundation more comfortable. If you mix the blush powder with the foundation, the foundation becomes a liquid blush, making the blush look more natural. And, of course, if you blend the highlighter powder into the foundation, the foundation becomes a highlighter with a highlighting effect. I always say that the fun thing about makeup is that you can "play" with it. So I encourage you to experiment and "play" with your makeup, and you'll get a lot of surprises.
Q8. A lot of people don't know how to use a foundation brush, so how do I apply foundation evenly without wasting it?
A: First of all, we need to have a concept that no matter which brand of foundation brush we use, we still can't rely on foundation brush alone to apply makeup. The biggest benefit of a foundation brush is that it pushes the foundation out quickly and over a large area, but even the softest bristles will still leave more than brush marks, and the thicker the foundation, the heavier the brush marks will be. If you want a more flattering finish, you'll need to use a lipo belly or sponge to apply the foundation with a patting motion. I personally recommend the fat belly makeup way, fingers are the most dexterous makeup tools, and with the fat belly temperature, the bottom makeup will be more serviceable
