Good foundation is like your second skin! - 2 part
Foundation that brightens
It makes tired skin more radiant as well as brightens grey skin. Thanks to golden particles and micro pearls reflecting light your face will be radiant for the whole day. Modern foundations contain an extract from a red orange rich in vitamin C – a unique complex to moisture and nourish skin acting as a source of energy making a tired face look healthy.

Modern base foundation
This kind of foundation introduces a unique two-phase application. The tube has two containers – with a light creamy base which smoothens skin and with colour emulsion improving skin colour. Thanks to this solution your makeup will be extremely radiant. The foundation is also enriched with water-resistant polymer (a novelty!) which makes your skin springy, whereas SPF12 filter protects it from the sun.
How to apply foundation the right way
Apply foundation with your fingers not a sponge. Squeeze some of the product on your palm leaving it for a while to reach your body’s temperature. Thanks to it you will be able to rub it all over your face with the tips of your fingers.
The beautician advises
You don't have to put foundation all over your face. Try spot-fixes for those areas that need coverage (likely around your eyes & nose & on your chin – so called T-zone). Apply foundation in the natural light, near the window. Artificial light is deceitful – you may end up with too strong makeup.
Choose the perfect colour
Apply a couple dots of each color on areas of your jawline. The right shade is one that you can't see because it blends in so well. Choose beige foundation rather than pink. The latter looks unnatural. Remember that too dark foundation makes your skin look older.
The beautician advises
The inner wrist or hand aren't the best spots to choose the best foundation, contrary to popular belief. The web of blue veins that shine through the skin fakes the colour. It can e.g. look too pale on the face.
