Given the broad proposal in the market and the different skin types and needs of opacity, choose it is a delicate operation that requires a prior analysis of their needs, some valuable suggestions and an overview of what the market offers today.

Dates back to the most remote antiquity the use of painting their faces for reasons rituals, religious camouflage. But even among the Egyptians and Romans spread the association with beauty, not just women. The paint becomes indispensable tool of the toilet in the courts of nobility, then to reach down to us, transformed – or rather evolved – in the form we all know, the foundation.

The business related to the world of cosmetics, in fact, has assumed gigantic proportions today, walking hand in hand with the evolution of standards of beauty and scientific research. Added to this is also crucial in the publication that if one side seeks out and creates consumer needs in the other amplifies the echo aroused by technological innovations, making use also of the influence of the media figure of the testimonial.

The market today is able to offer the widest possible range of solutions for every budget, but also literally “sewn” upon the consumer, skin type, formulation, texture and color range.

Features

A make-up well done cannot leave a great base for make-up, represented by the foundation that creates the ground on which, as a canvas, the trick will be developed by adding color to the face then corrects pigmentation blemishes, hides, evens out the complexion.

The main purpose of the foundation is therefore to provide consistency without stifling the skin, ensuring a final effect is natural that, while masking imperfections such as redness or dilated pores, gifts to her face looked fresh and rested.

For this reason it is important to pay particular attention to choosing the best shades to the color of their skin and in the development, because each type of skin requires a product that meets your needs.

For a makeup foundation everyday is good to choose a lighter but is unable to guarantee the necessary consistency and held for several hours, especially for those who spend many hours outside the home, without having to worry about retouching regular makeup.

The same goes for the choice of the foundation during the summer, which requires a type of lighter products, which prevails even with the highest temperatures, while for the cold season, while keeping in mind the characteristics of one’s skin, it will be preferable to choose a richer product, able to offer protection and hydration.

Protection that should be permanently maintained by a good foundation. The solar filters, in fact, are becoming increasingly popular even among lower-priced products, given the greater attention paid to the risks of damage caused by UVA and UVB rays, especially in an area as delicate as her face and even in mid winter. It is a good habit, so make sure the presence of protective filters in the product you buy.

Types of foundation

The cosmetic research over the years has led to market a range of products and constantly innovative features as varied as are the needs of consumers. The foundation available today therefore offer different degrees of consistency, the lighter cream colors that blend with the skin acting as a moisturizer lightly colored – designed for those who have no particular need for consistency – to the more compact formulations, which offer total coherence.

Here are the most popular types covered in the following one by one:

* Cream-colored
* Liquid / fluid
* Compact
* Mousse
* Dust

The cream formulation is, as mentioned above, the variant lighter and less involved in the definition of foundation in the strict sense because it is limited to moisturize giving brightness to the face. Typically used during the summer or who has no particular need for consistency.

The liquid formula, or more precisely fluid, has a texture very dark and is usually the richest among the proposals in perfumery, suitable for dry skin tend. Today, however, there are no innovative fluid formulations that contain ingredients comedogenic oils and are also indicated for combination skin-fat and tend to polish.

The foundation compact, however, usually have a more heavy in terms of texture but are generally indicated for oily skins to, why do not usually contain ingredients that favor the odious shiny effect near T On the contrary, in fact, having a base rather dry and often powdery, contributes to “dry” and maintain the critical areas of the opaque face. In many cases the Compact foundations are also indicated for use in the summer, for ease of use and transport.

An intermediate between the two just described, first introduced on the market only recently, is that mousse. The formula provides a texture that looks compact but that application becomes very dark almost like a fluid, becoming like a dusty powder. The main advantage, besides being a product suitable for all skin types, is convenience with the application and the possibility of avoiding the use of powder to finish make-up, because somehow their agents, as 2 in 1 product.

The formula powder, finally, is the oldest but also the less known, although recently more attention to cosmetics minerals led to greater attraction of this foundation powder. Their purely natural – are in fact produced only with micro-pulverized minerals and rocks – makes them suitable also for very sensitive skin, for allergy-free, and all skin types thanks to the powder formulation that assimilation to a powder providing a long-lasting results, quickly and efficiently.

How to choose

As mentioned in the previous paragraph, it is important to take into account the needs and characteristics of the skin that will wear the foundation. It is for this reason that it becomes very difficult to buy a foundation, and purchase it on behalf of third parties is impossible, unless you come in perfumery with the exact specification of a product already tested before.

The first thing to consider is to understand on what type of skin you’re going to roll out the cosmetic product. Several are in fact the needs of a tendency to dry skin or very sensitive, a foundation that does not tolerate too dry or with ingredients that do not respect the delicate nature of a particular skin.

At the same time skin tends to gain weight will not benefit from an overly rich foundation that does not guarantee the consistency required because the sebum the melt in a few hours, creating an unpleasant shiny effect on T-zone, which must then touch up all the time with face powder . These operations, however, gives rise to a vicious cycle that eventually clog the pores and make skin asphyxiated and have a greater production of sebum.

Differences in the needs of a specific skin problems like acne or rosacea, which require a particularly effective and consistent formulation of natural products that respect the specific characteristics of the skin. In this case it will be preferable to buy beauty products on the shelves of the pharmacy rather than in perfumery, where it will be able to give you specific advice targeted.

To be taken into due consideration the final effect you want to obtain the use of a foundation. If you use it for light makeup days from the choice will be different than a necessary foundation for those who work, for example, on television, it does call for a make-up stronger and durable.

How to Apply

The application of foundation does not require special skills to make-up artist, though certainly not indifferent to owning them is a plus. The first thing you learn is always used sparingly. It will be better than having to add having to remove it is much faster and without consequences to retouch a base that stretched just do not have to remove and start over.

The more experienced can play on the effect of light and shadow and color mixing different shades to be applied over the face and then the sides of the nose and chin to create optical effects of the high level. The less experienced, however, can start from the basis to improve gradually and learn to lie in more value for your face.

There are three ways to apply: the fingers, the sponge, the pennellone. The traditional sponge, to be used dry or wet second preference and desired effect, ensures a greater control over the quantity of product, because the excess is retained and absorbed by the tool used for the application. The product, however, stretches better if slightly warmed and then use your fingers to ensure a better and faster. The choice between the two possibilities remain personal.

The pennellone Instead, you use mostly to apply mousse foundation or powder and provides a very natural. Vanishes, also the pair first considered unbreakable bond between powder and foundation by applying a bottom-effect chypre powder or the use of powder becomes superfluous and can even distort the effect given by the foundation.

The technique of application, subject to the wide margin left to the initiative and personal habits, is simple: start by applying small amounts of product in the crucial points of the face – nose, forehead, cheeks, chin – and stretch from the center fading to outside.

Where to Buy

Taking into account the characteristics mentioned above, it is important not only know how to choose the foundation but also know where to buy it and choosing what you will find one or the other channel.

Those who choose the traditional products of the best known cosmetics houses, no matter whether high end or low, the place to find choice and expert and perfumery. It is often possible to directly test the foundation in the store, but it is always best to ask a SAMPLE of the color you are interested to try it at home. Artificial lights of the store, in fact, often distorts the colors and effect and the final test on the wrist or on the mind does not always gives a realistic picture of the effect desired.

Those who prefer to choose natural products may apply to the herbalists, offering a wide range of brands that offer natural cosmetics. The disadvantage of this choice, however, is the range of nuance rather small compared to products that normally have more market.

Finally, those seeking medical expertise for advice on specific problems of the skin will turn to the pharmacy, where products designed specifically for those who cannot – for reasons of allergies or skin problems specific – use the products in supermarkets.

Large retailers who now has introduced the habit of selling cosmetics even in the supermarket and at department stores, with special exhibition stands to choose products. Ease of access and visibility are opposed not indifferent, however, two drawbacks: in many cases you cannot test the products before purchase and there is no dedicated sales staff that can give you expert advice.
