Choosing the right foundation for you!
Choosing the wrong foundation is something countless women have been doing for eons, and grabbing a foundation that is many shades lighter than one's skin tone (and vice versa) is a crime many are guilty of. Which is why it's so easy to spot loads of women who look chalked up and ridiculous, at any given time. The perfect foundation helps makes your skin look flawless, and getting it right is pretty straightforward.
Get help: Sri Lanka has an almost non existent number of places and/or stores with knowledgeable staff that can help you colour match the perfect foundation. Nevertheless, your best bet would be to talk to your regular makeup artist who should be able to help you pick the right colour.
Test: To figure out your best match, apply the foundation on the center of your jawline. The right hue will disappear into your skin and appear invisible. Make sure to check the colour near a window or outside because often, the lighting in stores cast unflattering shadows.
For dry skin: choose a liquid, stick, or hydrating powder foundation.
For oily skin: use oil-free liquid or powder foundation.
For combination skin: apply a powder foundation.
For makeup newbies: use a powder foundation that's right for your skin type - it's the easiest to apply.
