The perfect foundation = a flawless, radiant you - hmnnn, in the ideal world!
If you are anything like me, you'll know that getting to this destination is not without its challenges....
In this age where there are a multitude of options, foundations come in various formulas and consistencies, all promising to be the 'one' for you. Liquids, powders, cream-to-powders, sprays, sticks and cakes, the types are endless.
Once you can get your head round that, then you need to decide on whats best for your skintype - for example, Oilier skins are better suited to powders and drier types tend to be more comfotable with liquids; Your lifestyle - if you apply your makeup at 7am on your way to work, you'll probably prefer a compact product whereas if you are applying your makeup is an hour long session for you, you might prefer a liquid; and of course, your budget many 'designer' brands are increasingly comparable to mass produced brands.
Other desirable benefits can range from anti-ageing, brightening, firming and mattifying properties but the ultimate deciding factor is...............the right shade!
