A pretty complexion is an essential basis for successful makeup. Between our needs, innovations, and makeup trends, it is sometimes difficult to choose. We guide you in your quest for the perfect complexion thanks to our 5 essential steps and selecting the best foundation in pakistan.

1- Identify your skin type

The essential step is to know your skin well: its type, and therefore it's needs, but also your concerns. We often skip an effort but take the time to make a skin diagnosis with the help of one of our advisers. It will then be easier to carry out the first sorting to avoid unpleasant surprises.

2- Choose its texture and finish

Whether you are looking to cover up your imperfections or provide a natural glow, it will depend on your choice of texture.

For sensitive or dry skin, be sure to select a fluid foundation with a glowy finish, preferably for a feeling of comfort, but also enriched with moisturizing active ingredients. According to your desires, do not hesitate to modulate the coverage by the application or not of several layers.

Choose a mattifying fluid foundation or powder for oily and combination skin, not exempt you from good hydration beforehand.

For tired skin, avoid powders that will mark small fine lines and signs of ageing. Opt for a light formula enriched with an anti-ageing treatment.

For normal skin, without concern for shine or skin dryness, opt for a balancing fluid foundation. Your skin is healthy; let it breathe and enjoy a naturally healthy complexion at the risk of suffocating it and seeing imperfections appear.

3- Select your ideal shade

Your ideal shade is closest to your skin tone. Too light, you will undergo the "mask" effect, but you can warm it up with the help of sun powder, if necessary. If, on the contrary, you choose a foundation that is too dark, your complexion will appear less natural, and you will have to take care to hide the unsightly demarcations. If this is the case, remember to stretch your foundation well and have the hand lighter in the amount applied.

To prevent this from happening, always ask to test the foundation in-store, to apply on the bottom of your jaw, towards the neck, and not on the hand or in the crook of the wrist, unlike what we have used to believe. Then check the result in natural light.

For fair skin, opt for a foundation in the beige-pink family which has the advantage of bringing radiance and freshness.

For dark skin, go for more orange shades that will warm up your complexion.

Is your complexion dull? Don't panic; go for a foundation with a touch of rose that will bring the radiance and light you need!

4- Adapt your makeup base

The primer is the secret of a perfect complexion. It is applied as a background before your foundation. There are some for every skin concern: it mattifies the shine of oily-prone skin, neutralizes the redness of reactive skin, masks dark spots and acne, or even wakes up dull complexions…. But beyond the aesthetic aspect, we often forget that its vocation is to protect the hydration of our skin.

5- Choose the correct application tool

To each his habits and desires. Zoom on the 3 techniques available to you.

• On the fingers:

For those looking for an easy and fast application. But be careful to stretch the product outwards from the face up to the ears and pat the more delicate parts: eyelids, wings of the nose and ears.

• With a brush:

For those looking for a perfect and uniform application. It is advisable to heat the material on the back of the hand rather than applying the foundation directly to the brush. It will be easier to work on, but also you will be able to modulate the coverage better as you go.

• With the sponge/blender:

For those who want to work on coverage. The application is done as with the fingers, towards the outside of the face, but also allows to deposit small additional layers localized on the imperfections, for example.
