The tonal cream is a real wand for the modern women. With its help you can hide almost all the skin imperfections: bruises and bags under the eyes, shallow wrinkles, age spots, acne, etc. But it is important to know what to apply on the face of the first hand-touch foundation - this is not a solution to problems with the skin of the face, but on the contrary aggravation. Visually, it can be imagined as follows: a light-skinned blonde was put on the face of the darkest tone of a foundation. It will be at least ridiculous to look like this. That is why it is so important to know how to choose the right shade of foundation.
How to choose a good foundation?
To begin with, tonal creams differ not only in color and hue. Color cream is already a secondary factor. First of all, you need to choose a foundation, which is suitable for your skin type, and serves to solve exactly your problem with the skin of the face.
There are three types of foundation creams:
- cream-camouflage. This cream is used very rarely. It has a very rich color, and serves to mask complex skin problems: scars, moles, bright pigment spots, etc. This cream requires a certain skill in the application, because of its structure it is difficult to evenly distribute it across the face. But there are also advantages - this cream lasts for a long time on the skin, and it can be washed away only with special means. Tonal cream type "camouflage" is hard to find in retail;
- dense foundation. These are in all cosmetics stores, their purchase will not become a difficulty for you. In such creams there is a large amount of coloring matter, and allow to create a fairly good disguise for skin imperfections. The application of a dense foundation is also a difficult task that requires a certain practice;
- light foundation creams. These foundation creams are based on silicone oil. The advantage of these creams is that they are easy to apply and also easy to wash off, they are affordable and easy to buy at the store. Let these foundation creams are not able to make your skin look like the skin of a model from a glossy magazine, but to hide fine wrinkles, to smooth the skin and tone of the face, to give the skin velvety - all this is possible with a light foundation.
Therefore, before you start choosing a tonalka, you need to decide what task to solve your cream. And, of course, do not forget that every type of foundation is developed in several versions: for oily, for normal and for dry skin. Buy only one that matches your face type.
How to choose the color and tone of the foundation?
Coming to the cosmetics store for tonal cream, the salesman consultant will almost certainly suggest you try his color on the wrist. This is not the most correct way to choose a foundation. But at the same time, this does not mean at all that the seller to you was not experienced. Simply, most women who buy the cream come to the store with a toned cream or powder already applied, and it is impossible to try this or that tone on the face. Therefore, if you do not know what tone you need, then come to the store without make-up. The seller will offer you several tones, and you will put them directly on the face. Appreciate your reflection in the mirror from different angles, and make a choice. The tonal cream should be almost invisible on your skin.
