How to choose a foundation?
Tonal cream is a remedy that helpsa woman to hide some skin imperfections. Of course, it would be good if a woman's skin was so perfect that there would not be a need for a choice of foundation. But, as practice shows, such a skin in real life almost never occurs. Each woman has her own skin problems - someone has an uneven tone, someone has a little attractive pimples from time to time.
The tonal cream is thewill help to hide all these shortcomings from an outsider, but most importantly, that the tool could perform its functions "perfectly", and not vice versa - to flaunt all the most obvious shortcomings of the skin of the face. By the way, in most cases, women themselves are to blame, that their remedy can not hide flaws. The problem is that they do not know how to choose a foundation, and on what points it is necessary to pay priority attention when buying this product.
Composition of foundation
When choosing a foundation, it is necessary, in the first placeturn, pay attention to its composition. This is due to the fact that all foundation creams produced by domestic and foreign manufacturers can be divided into three types:
- for oily and combination skin;
- for sensitive skin;
- for dry skin.
Therefore, answering the question, what kind of foundationchoose in the cosmetic shop, you need to focus on the type of skin. All creams differ in composition as well as conventional skin care creams. Creams for dry skin are thicker in consistency than in oily, they contain a lot of oils that work well on dry skin, but have a negative effect on fatty. Too thick tonal remedies should not be bought by ladies of the older age category, because they can roll down between wrinkles, and a completely different picture is created on the face that the woman wanted to reach.
In the texture, light creams are suitable for everyone, but with theirchoice should be neat women, who have sensitive skin. They are recommended to buy tonal remedies, which contain hypoallergenic components. Liquid and persistent foundation is an ideal choice for oily skin. They help to preserve make-up for a long time, because they form on their face a kind of moving film.
Some manufacturers offer a cream thatare able to control fat loss on the face. Such a tool in its composition has talc, kaolin or special polymeric materials - these components are able to absorb sebum secreted through the pores of the skin. But such creams are most often made using liquid lanolin, which significantly clogs the pores of the skin. If you read that there are Kriolan in the foundation, and you are prone to fat and to the appearance of acne skin, then refuse to purchase such a remedy. Before you choose the right foundation, note the basis on which it is made - dimethicone or mineral oil. It is better to buy a second version of the cream, if you find one in your cosmetic store.
Tone of foundation
Be sure to buy a tonal product,pay attention to his tone. The ideal choice will be a foundation cream that will tone up lighter than your skin, but no more - if you buy a cream that is two tones lighter than the skin, it will look on your face like a mask. Check what tone your skin has, it's very simple - you need to apply a drop of tonal to the neck skin, but not to the inner part of the arm or wrist, because in these places the skin is significantly different in color from the skin in the face area.
Before choosing a tone of foundation,go to the store without makeup, because you can not correctly determine the tone of the face, if it is applied to a foundation. Lighter toned tone helps you look younger, so do not seek to buy a product that is darker in tone than your skin. An exception can be only cases where it is necessary to brighten up obvious defects of the skin, for example, scars. If the foundation has a little greenish foundation, then it is perfect for concealing acne. Toned creams with a shining effect are designed for evening make-up, so in the daytime they look, at least, ridiculously in make-up.
Price & Manufacturers
At the moment, in the Russian market, tonalCreams are available in different price categories. But, frankly, if you want to buy the perfect tool for your makeup, the price you should be interested in at the very least. After all, the most important thing is the quality of the cream, and then its cost. You can save on buying lipsticks (do not have 10 pieces in your arsenal, but only 3-4), but on tonal cream it is not worth saving, because it is the basis of makeup and on it depends how attractive you will look at a party or on business meeting. Therefore, having learned how to choose the color of a foundation, be sure to buy only a quality analogue that will not cause skin irritation and maximize all the advantages of your face while hiding its shortcomings. Women of Western European countries spend about a quarter of the "cosmetic" budget on tonal funds.

Maxfactor, the second place belongs to the brand Vichy and Lancome.
