Fluid foundations, the most natural finish to beautify the face

People always dress and groom themselves according to the occasion, but they don't always apply makeup appropriately for it. Using the right products, makeup can take care of our skin. Choosing the ideal makeup is not easy, and applying it correctly so that it looks perfect is even less so. Before choosing the right product, we must carefully examine the type of skin we have and know what we want to achieve with the makeup products.

To achieve the best results in makeup, it is important to apply the first layer of product with a makeup primer . This product helps to improve the final appearance of the makeup and unifies the skin tone to achieve a more natural color.

Next up is foundation, which is used to cover facial imperfections and spots. Foundations also have moisturizing properties and some may contain sun protection factor in their components, thus protecting the skin from sun damage and photoaging.

Different types of fluid funds

Fluid foundations come in various textures. Being so light, they are suitable for all skin types and easy to apply.

• Liquid foundation : they are perfect for concealing small imperfections or spots on the face, providing a more natural final result. Thanks to their light texture, they are recommended for all skin types.
• Cream foundation : Its somewhat dense texture makes it ideal for correcting mature skin. It tends to last a long time, but if we want to enhance it, we can combine it with a makeup fixer.
• Serum foundation : This type of foundation has a very light texture that makes it easy to apply. Most contain anti-aging properties to camouflage wrinkles and blemishes on the face. Its fine texture is perfect for combination or oily skin.
• Mousse foundation : This type of foundation is not recommended for dry skin, as it can make it worse. Its oil-free texture makes it very useful for oily skin. In addition to hiding imperfections and minimizing pores, it reduces facial shine.
• Cushion foundation : This is a liquid foundation that comes in a compact format. Its light texture makes it easy to apply and the end result is hydrated, silky skin with a uniform color tone. It contains a sponge to make application easier and is suitable for all skin types.

Correct application of foundation

Before starting the process of applying the makeup base , we must be clear about the texture of the base that we are going to use and the tool with which we will spread the product.

First, we must cleanse our face thoroughly to remove any dirt or dead skin cells that may be on our face. It is preferable to use a product that also helps us moisturize our skin, so that it is smoother and softer when we apply foundation. These steps will help prevent makeup from cracking during the day.

Next, apply the fluid foundation using the chosen application tool (brush, sponge or hands). You should start by applying the product from the centre of the face, outwards. In this way, you will apply the product evenly over the entire face, leaving a uniform tone free of imperfections.

It is preferable not to apply product on the lips and eyelids, since this way, when applying makeup to these areas, the makeup will adhere correctly without sliding.

To finish the process, we will apply a makeup fixer, so that it stays put for longer. In addition, we can eliminate any reflections that remain with us through a compact powder or some product that reduces unwanted facial shine.

It is important that the color tone of the foundation is as close to the color of our skin as possible. If we want to achieve a lighter or darker result, we can do so using blush or bronzing powder.
