When you play with make up, one of the hardest elements to handle is your base, or the foundation. It can be purchased in many formats.
Liquid foundation is the original form of foundation that is often still used by many by many women in older generations.
Powder foundation is a very light form of coverage that is not especially concealing, but it great for younger individuals with smooth skin.
Cream foundations are found in a stick or tube and are blended onto the face. Cream foundations can also be found in packets to be applied with a sponge much like a powder compact.
When selecting a base, you should try to match your skin color as exactly as possible. Start by figuring out if your skin has warm or cool tones. If you look good in blues and bright reds, you have cool skin. If you are able to wear colors such as orange and brown well, you have warm skin tones.
Pick a foundation that has a blue undertone or a red one and then find the foundation that is right for your skin by holding it up to the back of your hand. If possible, test the foundation on the back of your hand to see how well it blends. The back of your hand has roughly the same amount of sun exposure as your face making it a good place to test.
