Most women have yellow-based skin. To get that perfectly natural, flawless look they need to wear foundations with a yellow base. Most foundations on the market however have pink or orange tones. Women wearing these foundations often end up looking artificial, ashy and two-toned.

Foundations are designed to give a soft, even, natural glow to the face. The best coverage comes with the use of the right colour and product type and not from the amount of foundation you apply. Foundation goes on all over your face to make it looks uniform and smooth.

Skin moisturizers, are an essential step in this routine and they are designed for different skin types to soften the skin, to lubricate without blocking pores and smothering the skin. Avoid food or any substances that could give you oily skin, swelling and irritation. Try to avoid spicy, deep fried and junk food. It is better to avoid red meat, alcohol, and caffeine. A skin moisturizer is usually an emulsion of two compounds e.g. oil and water and an emulsifying agent.

A lotion skin moisturizer is a liquid emulsions. A solid skin moisturizer is a cream emulsion. An ointment skin moisturizer is water in oil emulsion. Makeup powder sets the makeup foundation and concealer, and is an important stage if you have used a cream foundation and want to contour with blush as it will allow the blush to be applied easily.
