Being my second beauty blog. I hope, to cover certain things what have not been written or told about. Recently I had a great difficulty to decide which foundation is good and affordable and something which I could use for a daily basis. Alas after a lot of research and talking to like a billion people I finally found one base which I think is perfect for me on my current situations.
Lets start with what is a foundation : Foundation is a skin-coloured makeup applied to the face to create an even, uniform colour to the complexion, to cover flaws and, sometimes, to change the natural skintone. Some foundations also function as a moisturizer, sunscreen, astringent or base layer for more complex cosmetics.
A foundations covers your basic face tone and if you wish to cover your under eye and blemishes, pimples more you add a concealer with it. But a foundation is definitely a must buy for any girl out there. For more even tone and brighter look for your face, for daily basis.
P.S:Do not forget to clean up your make- up by the end of the day, with a tissue, baby oil, coconut oil or any make- up remover.
Phase 2: Which foundation: Foundations are a varied one but someone who wanted something affordable and an everyday use one. I will be giving you options from low to high .
The most most important fact is to know your tone. It makes it easier to buy your foundation.Always go to a drug store or make up store to select a few shades that seem close to your natural skin tone. Make sure to check it in natural light, since stores usually have fluorescent bulbs. Try the color on your jawline, not on your wrists and hands to check . As everyone has a different skin tone and type always try it on your skin for a day and come back and buy it. DO NOT HURRY TO BUY YOUR FOUNDATION. GIVE IT A DAYS TIME.

How to apply a foundation base.
- Apply to skin using a sponge or foundation brush.
- Blend with fingers, sponge or brush.
- Using fingers are the best way to blend the cream and its covers all the part evenly, give it time to set.
- Before you apply the power.
- Practice practice till you get to blend the right way.
- Most important point, use 2 fingers and dab all the way, is the key.
