These components improve blood microcirculation and make the face more toned (smooth small wrinkles), which means young.

The best foundation - breakdown by skin type
The right approach begins in the selection of cosmetics, in accordance with the type of skin. The most difficult option is a mixed type, i.e. in places oily (usually T-zone), in places, on the contrary, dry (cheeks, cheekbones). Therefore, it is worth choosing a product for combination skin.
What foundation to choose for dry and sensitive skin
Dry skin requires a careful approach. She informs her mistress about the lack of moisture, respectively, her owner should choose a cream with additional moisturizing components. They are more liquid than regular creams, but this is only an additional plus - applying a thin layer will not be difficult.
For problematic (sensitive) skin, special rulers should be used that are designed specifically for these purposes (antiallergic, for example). They include antibacterial and anti-inflammatory components, which reduces the risk of new foci of inflammation or irritation. Note that these creams are not intended for use in the eye area.
Products for oily dermis
The main problem of oily skin is that it constantly shines, which causes discomfort for its owners.Fortunately, manufacturers have not spared this problem. Manufacturers of cosmetics excluded any oils from this product line, replacing them with special particles that absorb sebum. therefore, matting products are created specifically for you. During the day, you can wipe your face with matting napkins, so you will always be fresh and beautiful.
What does an expanded pore face require?
For porous skin, you need a tonic with the addition of microscopic grains of powder, which will not accumulate around the pores, but are evenly distributed throughout the face. It is better to choose the basics, which include anti-inflammatory components. This will help to avoid even greater problems when masking existing ones. Such cosmetics are applied with a light sponge slightly moistened in water.
Before applying, you can lubricate with an alcohol-containing solution and narrow slightly enlarged pores.
What is advised to the owners of normal skin
Make-up artists advise lucky owners of a normal type to use light creams with nutritious ingredients with a light texture. Do not forget about the type of makeup and lighting of the room in which the sacrament of transformation takes place. A prerequisite for the correct application of cosmetics is good lighting, ideally free access to daylight.
How to apply a tone on the face
To make the face look natural after make-up, you should apply the cream in a thin layer, otherwise it will look like a theatrical makeup (we only want to emphasize the natural beauty, and not sketch it). The method of application does not matter, i.e. this can be applied with a sponge (or beauty blender), brush or fingers. The main thing is that the result is achieved, and the layer is obtained as thin as possible. It is only important to observe the order (to do everything in stages): starting from the center, moving to the periphery. Make sure that the boundaries between the end line and clean skin are not noticeable (requires careful shading).
