❶ Color Makeup Base: How To Use It

The main function of the make-up base is to even out skin tone and relief. Masking all the shortcomings (acne, age spots, freckles, etc.) allows you to make the make-up flawless. Color base corrects skin tone based on natural color. Location: Location: The make-up base allows you to change the overall complexion - visually rejuvenate the skin, give it radiance, transparency, hide individual areas that stand out from the general skin tone, etc. Each color fulfills its function - hides, masks, evens out, makes it shine, etc.

The reflective makeup base is applied to the skin without visible defects, since it does not possess masking properties, but only gives the face a radiant effect. Yellow spots on the face (after sunburn, illness, hematoma, etc.) will help hide the blue, lilac and purple bases, which neutralize yellowness and even out the complexion. If there are bluish shadows under the eyes, then a yellow base will correct the situation and level these areas with the general skin tone. If the skin is grayish (after a sleepless night, hard work), then a pink makeup base will correct this deficiency.

A red skin tone after an unsuccessful tan, vascular mesh or acne marks will paint over a green base. When the skin is of the same shade and there is no need to mask individual areas, the beige makeup base will play the role of the main foundation - it will give the skin uniformity. A white make-up base should be handled with care - it can brighten some areas and refresh the entire face, but you need to consider the rules for applying makeup and the natural skin tone so that white spots do not stand out.

Apply a colored makeup base only after cleansing and moisturizing the skin. Oily skin can be immediately covered with a layer of base, as it already contains nutrients, and an extra layer of day cream will clog the pores.

The disadvantage of a make-up base is the inability to mask large skin defects - this can be achieved only by applying an additional corrector or concealer. Together with foundation, powder and day cream, the color base creates a dense decorative layer on the skin, which prevents it from “breathing”, especially in the heat. The abundance of moisturizing ingredients can lead to frostbite of the skin during prolonged exposure to fresh air in cold weather. Therefore, do not apply the color base daily - use it as an emergency aid in special cases.
