How to choose the right foundation?
Finding the right foundation can be a challenge, but it is not impossible. Here are some tips to find the right foundation for your skin:
Determine your skin type:
Before choosing a foundation, it is important to know what type of skin you have. Do you have oily skin, dry skin or combination skin? In this blog you can read how to determine your skin type.
Choose the right color:
It is important to choose a foundation that matches your skin tone. Always test the foundation on your neck in natural light to determine the color.
Test the foundation:
Always test the foundation before you buy it. Apply a little foundation on your neck and see if it blends well with your skin tone. If it is the right shade, you will not see where you tested the foundation.
