If you’ve ever been freaked out by the swarm of makeup artists and store assistants that buzz around you the moment you approach a makeup counter, then it’s safe to say you’re a makeup rookie. And what don’t makeup rookies love? Anything that’s complicated!
Foundation is one such product that might push beginners a little over the edge — especially if they’re only the kajal and lipstick kind of peeps. I mean, where exactly do you even begin? From the shades to the coverage, to not looking like an oompa loompa, we can understand why foundation can be so daunting.
So let’s begin with selecting the right shade. Remember, you’ve got to test the product on the side of your face, between your neck and your jawline. By testing and swatching it there instead of your arm, you’re able to get the truest match to your skin tone.
One key technique to keep in mind after dotting your face with the foundation is to buff your face in the direction of your facial hair.
