Makeup tips in choosing the best foundation
A makeup expert from Armani Beauty generously shared some of the best makeup tips for women in terms of applying foundation. It has been a common mistake for women to ignore the importance of the foundation in creating that perfect look.
Armani Beauty Artistic Director Tim Quinn said in an interview that the most common mistake is for people to purchase a color that is different from their skin tone. The most important advice, he says, is to choose the color that compliments the skin tone.
Off to the tips, Quinn said that don’t choose the foundation based on the sample you’ve applied on the hand. It’s been a common practice for people to apply a bit of the product on the hand and see if it matches the skin. Quinn said that the color of the hands is actually darker than the face.
He reasoned that the face’s skin is lighter than the rest of the body due to people generally putting on sunblock on the face rather than the arms, hands and even legs. He suggested to try on putting a bit of the sample instead on the jawline area and see if it matches.
Once you have the best foundation, he says always remember to clean first the face before applying the makeup.
