You don’t have to wait for that glow and flawless complexion. Because nowadays markets are full with too many solutions to your problems, there are too many one step foundation formulae in the market, you can opt from any of them according to your skin type and the rates are economical. They are not at all greasy types and are weightless. These new foundation leaves your complexion looking absolutely flawless and feeling powdery clean. So go ahead, shake up your make up.  

Conceal zits: Can you use foundation to cover pimples?
Though consealer can give better coverage, if you prefer foundation, you can use it. Here’s how to do it. Use a clean, flat eye shadow brush, which allows to precise coverage. Dip it into oil free liquid foundation, it won’t clog your pores, then dab the blemish and blend outward, so your pimple doesn’t look cakey. But do it softly on pimples, because if you use it harshly, it can be bad for your pimples.

Wear a tint: What foundation should I wear to the gym?
It’s really best not to wear any. When you sweat, your body eliminates toxins. But if your face is covered with makeup, those toxins can’t escape, so they get trapped below your skin’s surface, in your pores, which can cause a breakout. If you feel like you must wear something, opt for a light layer of oil free tinted moisturizer, it’s more breathable, instead of cream or liquid foundation. And always wash your face after workouts.

Find your shade: How do I pick the right shade?
If you’re at a departmental store, test a few shades by drawing stripes on your jaw line, not your hand, which is usually darker, then go outside, because natural light gives the best read on color, with a  mirror to see which shade blends the best. At a drugstore, look for a sheer or color adjusting formula, it will be noted on the bottle, which tends to adapt with your skin tone more easily.

Blend well: If you get a line of foundation below your jaw and around your hairline, then what to do?
You could be wearing too dark a shade, after that, it’s all about blending, when you dot the foundation on your t-zone, place the dot on your chin one inch above your jaw line and the dot on your forehead two inches below your hairline. This way, as you blend the small amount onto the rest of your face, it will lightly coat your skin, so no one will notice you’re wearing foundation.

Make it last: Will any foundation not get on my shirt when I put it on or take it off?
We wish there was something that wouldn’t rub off at all, but honestly, it really doesn’t exist. The next best thing to wear a thin layer of long lasting liquid foundation (which has porous polymers), is to help the make up soak into your skin. This will make it less likely to rub off onto your clothes.
