Foundation
When it comes to foundation, there are two things that are absolute musts: finding the right shade for your skin tone and avoiding the dreaded “cakey” look. You may need to test out different products before finding the correct color for your complexion, so research is key. Luckily, plenty of brands today carry a wide range of shades that complement every skin tone. For the latter, Kendall recommends applying foundation using a beauty sponge. It absorbs product, allowing you to gradually add the ideal amount of foundation.

Lip Maestro strikes the perfect balance between a luminous velvet matte finish, intense color pigment, and long-lasting comfortable wear.

A pretty made-up face starts with understanding your skin, choosing the right makeup products to suit your needs, and following the right application techniques. If you're new to the world of makeup or are simply looking for ideas to better the way your makeup turns out, this post has some easy makeup tips for you.

Consider two important things before buying any makeup product-your skin type and skin tone. Whether you have dry, oily, or combination skin or are warm, cool, or neutral toned, select products that correspond to your skin type and tone. To find out your skin type , start with cleansing your face with a mild cleanser. Pat dry gently and leave your skin bare, without applying any other product. After 30 minutes, examine the skin on your forehead, nose, cheeks, and chin for oil or shine. Wait another 30 minutes and consider if your skin feels dry around the mouth or other areas, especially when you smile and make other facial expressions. If your skin feels tight overall, you have dry skin; if there's visible shine over all your face, you have oily skin ; if there's shine on your forehead, nose, and chin and other areas of your face feel normal to dry, you have combination skin .

To find out your skin tone, examine the underside of your wrist and determine the colour of your veins. If the veins appear greenish or olive in colour, you are warm-toned; if the veins are purplish or bluish, you have cool undertones; if you can't determine the dominant colour of the veins, you have a neutral undertone. Note that warm skin usually has more peach, yellow, and golden hues and cool skin has pink, red, and blue undertones.

The best foundation is that which blends into your skin , not one that's a shade lighter or darker. But in case you're torn between two shades, err on the side of being lighter. That being said, the skin on your face is not the same colour all over, so it's a good idea to invest in a foundation that's closest to your skin shade, and in a second shade that's a bit lighter. You can also mix lighter and darker shades to get the right match for your skin. The best way to buy foundation is to test it in person. Dab a bit of product right above your jaw line and on the chin to check for the best match. If your parts of your face are darker than the rest, test products on those areas.
