What's Foundation For ?
Young women may think that foundation is a middle-aged game, but the fact is that the right foundation can protect your skin and keep it younger longer. Many foundations and moisturizers now come with SPF in them, so whenever you wear foundation, you're protecting your skin from the most damaging environmental condition short of cigarette smoke; the sun. Even young women with flawless skin should wear a light foundation purely for the SPF coverage it affords.
In addition to sunscreen, the right foundation can provide additional moisturizing, which is useful if you work or go to school in modern, climate controlled buildings where the air is very dry. Keeping your skin well moisturized is another way to head off the signs of aging, so that, in a fascinating paradox, the more you wear foundation, the less you need it for coverage.
Foundation's cosmetic purpose is to correct skin irregularity, hide fine lines and generally provide a base for the ret of your makeup. You can fix problems with wan or ruddy skin with the correct color of foundation, adding a slight blush or toning down redness by your choice of color. If you don't want heavy coverage foundation and want proper moisturizer with a little bit of tint, you can choose a tinted moisturizer instead of a thicker foundation.
After tinted moisturizer, the lightest foundation base is whipped or mousse makeup. Mousse has added air, so it goes on lighter and thinner. It's a spray, so puff some into your hand and apply a thin layer to your face. If you have dry skin that gets caked looking with thicker foundations or want to get better control by layering on thin applications of foundation, mousse is a good choice. If you tend to be in a hurry when applying your makeup, whipped foundation can also help you avoid the unpardonable sin of slapping on too thick a layer, which will look worse than wearing no makeup at all.
