If makeup were a movie, lipstick and blush would definitely be the stars that would steal the show. But without a clean base, the plot would never be the same. These two products are the necessary second roles that create the ideal base, cover imperfections and bring the balance that every 'look' needs: concealer and foundation/powder.
Tips and tricks
The most important thing is to choose the right shade. The key to finding the right shade is knowing your skin tone. As a rule, darker skin tones need products with yellow undertones, while lighter skin tones benefit from pink.
Powder, liquid or matte? The composition of the product should be in accordance with the skin type, the needs of the area and the desired result. Creamy liquid textures are easier to work with. Compacts usually offer more intense coverage.
The most suitable tool for perfect application depends on the desired result. Brushes or fingers are ideal for maximum coverage, while sponges are preferred for a more natural, lightweight, and shiny effect.
Seasonal changes affect our skin tone. To adjust the shade of foundation or concealer, we can add a little moisturizer or sunscreen to lighten it and a few drops of liquid or cream bronzer to darken it, respectively.
Concealer “sandwiching” is a technique where foundation is placed between two layers of concealer. This not only helps to completely cover imperfections such as blemishes or blemishes, but it also lasts much longer than concealer applied over foundation alone.
For perfect blending and long-lasting makeup base, we choose foundation and concealer from the same brand, as their compositions have been tested to work in combination.
