Tips for choosing

Dermatologist's advice: when choosing a foundation for oily and combination skin, you need to pay attention to the description and list of ingredients - the manufacturer must indicate the composition and purpose of the product. The closer to the top of the list one or another substance is, the higher its concentration.

Preference should be given to formulations with absorbents: zinc, sulfur, salicylic acid. Ideally, the formula should be enriched with vitamins and hyaluronic acid so as not to aggravate existing problems, smooth wrinkles and moisturize. The cream should contain a minimum of oils, it is better if it has a water base and low density. You need to pay special attention to this when choosing inexpensive tonal foundations - budget creams, as a rule, “lame” in the vitamin composition, they may contain oils, since the manufacturer is trying to reduce the cost of the production process as much as possible. Nevertheless, there are decent budget creams with good characteristics and an acceptable price - they top our rating of quality decorative products. Then there are more expensive options from well-known cosmetic brands that have already proven themselves in the Russian market.

And finally - the makeup artist's recommendations on how to choose a tonal foundation correctly, what to look for when applying and what is the best way to wash it off. Subject to these rules, any decorative agent will merge as much as possible with the natural skin tone, and when removed, it will not remain in the pores:

1. You need to correctly determine your color type: warm or cold. Warm shades (autumn, summer) are the whole palette of beige, peach, coral and yellow-gold. Cold shades (spring, winter) are pink, light beige and pearl gray. You should not make a common mistake when choosing a cream, testing it on the wrist - your hands are always at least half a tone darker than your face, so it is better to test the cream on the jawline. Also, do not rely on the reviews of other customers - the type of skin is individual, and what suits one woman can emphasize all the wrinkles and irregularities on the face of another. In this case, it is more expedient to ask the opinion of the sales assistant.
2. There is no need to judge the quality of a product by its price. Many women first look at how much the cream costs, and only then begin to study the characteristics. It must be remembered that branded cosmetic products are faked much more readily than budget counterparts. And, if you really choose premium cosmetics, it is better to do this in brand stores in order to protect yourself from counterfeiting, which can be harmful to health.
3. Not all textures are shaded with your fingers; for thicker textures, it is better to use a moistened sponge or a special make-up brush - this will ensure even application and distribution, smoothing out irregularities and hiding age spots and redness;
4. If there are no matting components in the composition, dry powder should be used - then an oily sheen will not appear for a longer time after applying the base.
5. It is recommended to apply the cream not only to the face, but also to the neck, so that the transition is smoother and more invisible, creating a natural effect.
6. Make-up removal is best done with hydrophilic oils - this way you can remove even particles of the cream that have settled in the pores. After that, be sure to carry out a cleansing procedure with everyday washing gel and lotion. This will remove the remains of cosmetic silicones from the skin, giving it the opportunity to fully "breathe".
7. The golden rule of good makeup is moderation. Going over with the application of a tonal foundation, regardless of its brand and cost, will turn the face into a mask, and instead of the effect of freshness and weightlessness, we will get the exact opposite - a complex layered "construction", under which it is not desirable not only to smile, but even to simply open your mouth. The best makeup is the one you can't see.

If you follow these rules, the tonal foundation will not last long even with a small volume, it will be almost invisible on the face, and the skin will thank you with a healthy, radiant look.
