3 Simple Steps to Finding The Perfect Foundation
Saturday, November 8, 2008 by Web Mistress

Step 1. Identify your skin type
If your skin is dry, steer away from powder foundation as this will only make your skin look cakey or flaky, and will emphasize your wrinkles. Stick to liquid or cream foundation. These will keep your face looking smooth and soft.
If have oily or combination skin, powder foundations are best for you and will give you that matte appearance and stop that shine. You might also consider using a foundation primer to control the oil. Touching up now and then with powder is also recommended.
If you have normal skin, you are blessed. You are not limited to a particular formula, and you can explore all of the options mentioned.
Step 2. Identify the coverage you want
Light coverage - This type of coverage creates a lightweight, sheen layer on top of your face. Use it if you just want to even out your skin tone, without looking too made up.
Medium coverage - This type of coverage is typical for most foundations available. This will cover most of your blemishes.
Full coverage - This type of coverage matches the consistency of concealer, and therefore finding the exact shade to match your skin is most important. This brings us to Step #3.
Step 2. Find the right shade
This is the trickiest part. Usually, the foundation you buy looks perfect inside the department store. But when you wear it outside in natural light, it looks lighter, or redder --- a disaster.
What you would want to do is to put some on the side of your jaw, let it dry a bit, and then go find some natural light where you can check your face. If the foundation blends or disappears into your face, then it's the right shade for you.
However, if your face is acidic, you would want to get a foundation that's two or so shades lighter than your face. This is because on an acidic face, foundation turns darker as time passes.
