Don't Fret!!!!

Soooo, hope all is well with all you beauties!!!!  I found this excellent video on helping to pick the right "Type" of foundation.  I reckin finding the right, perfect, couldn't of asked for anything more perfect foundation, to trying on bathing suits.......OMG, are you kidding me????????  Yes, I think it is THAT hard!!!!  Anyway there a few things to figure out when trying to find that right, perfect, couldn't  ask for anything more perfect foundation!  Hope this helps!
First is COVERAGE~
Sheer:  This is subtle with a little bit of luminosity so that natural things like freckles can show thru.
Medium:  This coverage is more natural, but covers things like blemishes, redness or any other imperfections you are wanting to hide.
Full:  This coverage is full force, it will cover anything you wish to conceal.....hmmmm, wonder if they make foundation that will cover up my back side????


Second is FINISH~ (The texture that foundation leaves on your skin)
Satin:  Very luminous and has a "Dewey" sheen to it.  Many cat walks and fashion magazines us this finish a lot.
Natural:  This is the balance between shine and matte, very good finish for everyday use.
Matte:  No shine finish, oil control and is good for very active, very busy lifestyles.


Third is SHADE~ (Speaks to how light or how dark your skin is)
To find this perfect shade, you will need to match it to your skin color.  The best place on your face to find your perfect shade is from cheek to neck/jawline. Your PERFECT shade will disappear into your skin, you should have no huge color changes from face to neck!


And last is UNDERTONES ~ (Refers to the tone of your skin)
Most of us will probably fall under the Golden Olive tone, if not then you fall under the pink tone.  Here's how you can tell.........If you tan, you are going to be more of the olive tone, if you burn then you are more likely to be more of the pink tone!


As we strive to be as beautiful as we humanly can, remember that there is no perfect women, no perfect face, no perfect body.  The photo's of women(who have  professional make-up artist spend hours making them flawless) we try and mimic.......are made so by the creative editing talents of a well trained photograher....God love em!!!  
So be easy on yourself..... see what I mean!!
