TOP FOUNDATION QUESTIONS!
After reading this info in Essence Magazine, I decided that it is great information that will be helpful to my readers. Here are some questions, that may help you in reference to your foundation.
1. Does foundation cause you to break out?
Not usually. Most breakouts are caused by internal factors. If you get a rash caused by foundation, its usually because it was not properly removed. On some occasions, breakouts happen if you have a reaction to an irritating ingredient. You should see a determetologist.
2. I want to look at natural as possible. How can I avoid an overly made-up face?
Blend and build. Begin with a formula that goes you sheer to medium coverage. Start with a light applications and if you need additional coverage, then "build" by applying another layer. Remember it is equally important to build as well as you go.
3. Does the formula matter if the shad is right?
To get your best look, you also have to understand what is going on with your skin. You want to determine the perfect forumla for our skin type. For example, if your skin is dry, you will need a foundation that will add moisture; for oily types , oil free and matte formulas will do the trick.

MORE TIPS FOR MY MATURE READERS!!!
Here are some more tips for my mature readers, but you know even the ladies under 40 can learn what we need to do when we get to this point.
EYES
- Down play wrinkles by highlighting your eyes. Great eye make up will make your eyes pop and draw attraction to your eyes, which will draw attention away from your wrinkles
- The older you get the more droopy your eyes get (this will happen to all of us, its a law of nature). However, we can draw attention away from this by applying eye shadow correctly. Start with your lighter shade below the eyebrow and the medium shade should be applied to the eyelid. This will make the eye appear larger and less droopy looking. To make the eyes even larger add the medium color shadow to the outer side of the eyelid, all the way to the end of your eyebrow, this will open your eyes up even more.
- As you get older your eyebrows and lashes get thinner. Using mascara with a slightly bent brush will allow you to apply the mascara in the shad of your eyes. When your applying start at the base and move the wand sideways than outward. This applies a thicker coat to the eyelid and makes eyelashes look thicker. Eye brows should be filled in with a pencil or powder one shader lighter than your hair. Also prior and after use of a pencil or powder brush eyeshadow with brush, this aids in blending and making brow look natural.
HIGHLIGHTER
- Use a highlighting color to counter the appearance of gravity. Use a little highlighter above and below the eyebrow. This will lift, brighter and open up the eyes.
- Use your same highlighter to the top of your cheek bones to make it more prominent.
- Enhance your lip color. Do not over gloss, if using lipstick its nice to add just a touch of gloss to the center of your lips.
FOUNDATION
-Using a liquid or creme foundation over powder will enhance your look. Powder gives a matte finish, which create a dull look on the face and makes you appear to look older. Liquid and creme foundation give your face an instant glow which give your skin a younger look.
