6 Tips For Finding The Perfect Foundation | January 20, 2011

1. Avoid full foundation coverage. Few people need to apply foundation all over the face. Simply apply where you have uneven skin tone (usually along your nose and on the skin). In wintertime, if your cheeks tend to get ruddy, apply there as well.

3. Pick the proper color and formula for your skin type. Choose a color that’s as close to your natural skin tone as possible. … Read More »
