In the cold winter, to achieve good skin, in addition to serious skin care, naturally also need to "camouflage small ability" foundation to help. In recent years, a lot of new words about the foundation are popular, such as water light muscle, cream muscle, and soft mist muscle ...... What is the difference between these foundations? What kind of skin type is suitable? Many people are dumbfounded, we will today find out.

The name implies that the skin is so tender that it can be pinched out of the water, translucent to luminous. The natural makeup effect of the water spirit is the focus of the water-light muscle. You can't see the flaws, fine lines, and pores, but at the same time, the skin should look light, which meets the pursuit of many women for "nude makeup". The most important thing is to have a good look.

The most important thing to do is to make sure that your skin is well-hydrated before makeup. If you have plenty of time, you can apply a hydrating mask. If you are in a hurry to go out, you can soak a cotton pad full of make-up water and use a light patting technique to hydrate your skin, after this step, apply a cream to lock in the moisture.

To add a translucent glow, mix the highlighter with the foundation in a 1:1 ratio, warm it up with your palm, and then apply it evenly to the whole face, with details such as the eye area, nose, and lip corners not to be ignored.

Highlighting is the most direct way to create a sense of shine, but pay attention to the application technique of highlighting. The highlighter is focused on the T-zone area, namely the forehead and the bridge of the nose. After the base makeup, use the highlighter powder to sweep in this area, no highlighter powder can also be replaced with a shade of foundation than their foundation, use the press technique to apply makeup, note that the nose area does not need to apply, otherwise it will give the feeling of excessive oil.

Lastly, it is especially crucial to set your makeup with a setting spray, which not only keeps your skin shiny but also makes your makeup last. The first thing you need to do is to use a loose powder or powder to set your makeup, which can easily turn the watery feeling created in front into a matte feeling.

The skin must be light, and the foundation or air cushion can meet this need. Many people will ask if the face is too light and will not be able to cover the imperfections. First of all, the foundation containing pearl particles will achieve the purpose of visual coverage through the reflection of light, refraction, etc. The vague sense of light can make the skin look crystal clear. Secondly, the foundation is the highest water content of all foundation products, and other foundation products, compared to the foundation of better malleability, the makeup effect will also be lighter. The current air cushion products are also basically equivalent to the foundation.

The creamy skin is the foundation that puts more emphasis on dimensionality and high coverage on top of the hydrated skin, showing a dense shine and the texture of natural good skin like a baby. Most people with combination skin have dry cheeks and oily T-zone.

The whole makeup of the creamy skin will also look white, so the choice of foundation color should be slightly lighter than the usual half-degree.

The key to smooth and radiant creamy skin is to get a good range of highlights, not too big, not more than the distance between the eyebrows on the forehead, not more than the back corner of the eyes on the apple muscle, and the chin highlights should be the same width as the nose.

Use your hands to gently press your face before setting your makeup to make your foundation stick. When setting your makeup, use a small amount of loose powder to set your makeup and then spray it on your face with a setting solution. This will not only last but also make the makeup look shinier.

The best option for creating creamy skin is to choose a foundation. The texture is similar to that of a cream, and it is thicker than a foundation. It is also because of its heavy texture that it has good coverage.

It is not a completely matte look, but a base makeup texture that removes excess oil but maintains a moderate sense of shine. Usually, the texture of the foundation for matte skin is relatively dry, so it is ideal for women with oily skin. If the foundation is too matte, it will inevitably look old-fashioned and create just the right amount, it will give a sense of sophistication.

In the pursuit of a matte makeup effect, diminishing the sense of shine will highlight the flaws on the skin, such as pores, fine lines, acne, etc. will be more obvious, so there are high requirements for concealer. When concealing, dip the concealer product in small amounts several times and press gently with a beauty egg to make the concealer blend into the skin as much as possible and present the skin's texture.

The texture of the powder will be more suitable than loose powder and powder when setting makeup. Start by dipping the puff into the powder and gently pressing it onto your face, then sweep the brush with a circular motion from bottom to top to remove any floating powder. This will not only help control oil on the skin but also make the base makeup more natural.

A final spray of setting spray will not only achieve the right amount of matte finish but also make the overall makeup look long-lasting and flattering.

The foundation is relatively suitable for oily skin as it blends in with the oil secreted on the face. The foundation's ingredients are almost free of water but are emollients, emulsifiers, binders, film-forming agents, etc. These ingredients keep the solid form of the foundation well while ensuring its smoothness.

Although there are more and more new terms about primer these years, and the products are getting richer, but don't follow the trend blindly, choose the best one for you.
