The foundation rule & getting ready for those summer months

Rule of thumb is, you should always have at least two different foundation colors.  As the seasons change so do our color.  You tend to loose color on winter months, but gain color during the summer.  Hence as your color changes so should your foundation color.  Always blend foundations a little past the beginning of your neck, this tends to make your foundation look more natural because chances are its not an exact match.  Always remember you want to look as natural as possible so much so that people would not be able to exactly tell that you are even wearing a foundation.



Liquid, powder, cream foundation...how do I choose?
     This is up to preference.  I personally like to wear liquid & cream foundation during the winter and strictly powder only during the summer months.  I choose this because liquid and cream usually provides more coverage and my face is more pale during the winter.  During the summer I choose to be free and extremely lightweight.  Powder gives me the barely there feeling.  Also during the summer also try only using a bronze and blush.  Many times the natural sun will hide our subtle imperfections. 


My choices:
Favorite winter foundation: Lancome Teint Idole Ultra
Favorite summer foundation: Loreal True Match Powder


Tools: Sonia kashuk Foundation Brush Large & Medium (liquid)
          ELF Studio Line Powder Brush (powder)




Until next time divas :)
