Know your skin
Before choosing a foundation on your face, we have to be clear: We use liquid foundation to make the skin tone look more even, and the complexion looks brighter and healthier. .
And if you don’t choose the right foundation, the effect may not be "Ta’s skin is so good". It may only be like this: "Ta’s foundation is really thick!" To avoid this embarrassment In this case, we first need to recognize our skin color .
In addition to the black and white (darkness) that everyone often talks about, it is more important to distinguish the "warm and cold tone" in your skin.
Skin Tone
Generally speaking, cool skin will show a slight red , while warm skin will have which is yellow, golden and brown.
Maybe you have heard a lot of 's "tips" for distinguishing warm and cold skins, such as looking at the blood vessels in the veins (blue is cold skin, green is warm skin), or whether you are more suitable for gold or silver (warm skin) Suitable for gold, cold skin for silver) and so on.
But these methods are not very useful , because many people's blood vessels are "cyan" (between blue and green); it is difficult to distinguish by jewelry, after all, everyone's preferences are different. It is not surprising that
will have the above situation, because most Asians have "Neutral Undertones" .

Therefore, as long as the warm and cold tendencies in your skin tone are not particularly obvious, you will not go wrong with the choice of "neutral tone" liquid foundation .
Even if your skin has local redness/yellow , it does not matter. Generally speaking, as long as a layer of neutral-toned foundation is applied, the slight uneven skin tone can be adjusted.
Many colored "modification creams" and also have the same effect. For example, purple can neutralize dull skin, while green can be used to weaken red blood.
After clarifying the warm and cold tonality, we can choose from the perspective of skin "depth" and .
For example, the skin tone of this hot girl is probably in the "Neutral" position; the skin tone is not very white, but it is not as dark as the bronze color (neutral yellowish 1.5～3).
So, how should I want to determine my "color number range"?
Let's take the "Double Wear" with a more domestic counter color number as an example (as shown below): 2 (natural color) + N (neutral tone) + 1 (yellow) = 2N1.
Yes, this is my "exclusive color number"!

Skin quality
In addition to "color" when choosing foundation, another factor that needs to be considered is "texture". Therefore, we also have to continue to understand 's own skin type .
In the same brand, different series of foundation productsProducts have different pertinence to "skin quality" and "desired effect".
Although people often use "dry skin" and "oily skin" to classify skin texture simply, in fact, has different skin textures in different areas of our face.
For example, although someone has "dry skin", they may also have the following different situations (the same applies to oily skin):
is dry all over the face (the area around the nose and forehead is not easy to get oil, and the cheeks are also easy to crack, Skinning)
T zone is normal, but cheeks are dry (T zone is slightly oily after a whole day, but cheeks are often dry and peeling)
Therefore, next time you go to the counter to choose foundation, don’t Let’s say “I’m very dry” or “I’m very oily” ~

In addition, our skin quality will also be affected by external factors such as temperature, climate, geographic location, etc., and with With the change of age and physical condition, skin quality may also change .
For example, when I was in Beijing, I was a proper "desert dry skin" (especially in winter), and I could only choose moisturizing products for foundation.
In the humid south, I have become a "neutral skin". It is no problem to occasionally apply makeup-holding foundation; when lightening makeup, I also choose some light and moisturizing foundations, optional The scope has been expanded a lot.
Therefore, if the skin condition allows, we can also choose the of the foundation according to the "makeup effect requirement"-as long as it does not differ too much from your own skin condition, otherwise it will get stuck and take off makeup in minutes. you!

is a foundation for wet use, and for thick coating. You can set a makeup at the end. Just putting it in the bag is very safe.
Try the correct posture of foundation
After understanding the above knowledge points, it becomes very easy for us to go to the counter to choose foundation~ The type of
foundation is determined, and the approximate range of color numbers is also available. The rest of the work is to "try it" with confidence and boldness! If
does not have the product you have spotted in advance, you can also describe your skin type to BA at the counter (refer to the "skin quality" in the first part of this article), and explain the makeup effect you want to pursue.
If the color number of the foundation you want to try is divided into finer, it is best to choose 3 to 5 color numbers at the same time and try them on the skin together. For
color testing method, you should not directly touch your face-the correct position should be to apply the foundation to the "face and neck junction".
Be careful not to try it on your hands. Not to mention the difference in skin texture between hands and face, the difference in skin tone alone is huge. After a little application of
, there should be a "fading away on your face" color -the effect that looks should be "melted into one" with your own skin tone. If
doesn't show the right color number, don't be discouraged. If it's a big deal, try again. After
finds the right color number, we then apply to a large area on the face , and check in all directions whether there will be floating powder, card powder , etc. to reduce points.
If time conditions permit, you can also observe the effect of this foundation under natural light outside ; in addition, the dullness and makeup removal of the foundation after a period of time has passed. write it down.
Don't forget to write down the brand and color number of that suits you . When you choose the foundation color number later, you can directly use it as a reference.
If you want to shop online, then I would suggest that after you have determined your own color number range, read the comments of netizens on this foundation, and pay attention to whether there will be "color cast" . If
really finds it difficult to choose, you can also buy some samples and try it at home, and then buy the formal outfit.
