Foundation Correct Color:
 You can wear a colour corrective foundation under your normal foundation under your normal foundation to alter your skin-tone. They can seem quite strange at first glance but are, in fact, highly effective at toning down a high colour or boosting the colour of your complexion. Use them sparingly at first until you feel confident that you have achieved an effective, but subtle, result.
- Green foundation cools down rosiness and is great for those who blush easily.
- Lavender foundation will brighten up a sallow complexion, and is great for when you are feeling tired.
- Apricot foundation will brighten up a sallow complexion, and is great for when you are feeling tired.
- White foundation gives a wonderful glow to all complexions, and is perfect for a special night out.
10 Foundation Tips:
- Your make up seeps into pores and lines. Prep skin with a primer, which fills in all the nooks and makes make up stay.
- Your skin is dry and flaky. Mix a drop of moisturizer into your foundation.
- You choose your foundation colour by matching it to the skin on your arm. The skin on your arm hasn't had the sun exposure your face has, so the colour is not the same.
- You apply foundation all over. Eyelids and ears don't need make up.
- Your make up stops at the jawline. Do brush foundation on the neck area. You don't want your face to be one colour and your neck another.
- Your skin appears masklike. If your make up looks heavy, wash it off and start over.
- You use a darker foundation to look tanned. Stick to your regular shade, and use some bronze.
- You forget to take a quick look in the mirror. Do rub out errant streaks.
- Your foundation is over a year old. Pitch it. Oxidation causes the shade to darken and it may harbour bacteria.
- You forget the cardinal rule. Foundation should enhance skin, not conceal it.
