When determining which foundation is right for you it is important to be aware of all the factors that play a role in creating a flawless coverage. First things first, the ideal way to get your desired finish is through a proper skin care regimen. Although it may be a challenge to keep up with your skin while you are in college, it’s the little things like remembering to take your makeup off after a wild night out that will benefit you in the long run! Also, it can never be stressed enough how much it helps to know your skin type. You can try out all the 5-star foundations in Sephora and you still won’t be satisfied with the results. Plus, knowing your skin type will eliminate all the options that aren’t right for you and make this whole process a lot smoother! Last tip, the most critical decision is choosing the right color of foundation to get the perfect finish. This is the tricky part—but if you are aware of your skin undertones it makes a world of a difference. And in case you don’t know—Sephora and Ulta can help you with a match. Here are a Tatcha and Byrdie articles that were helpful to me in determining my skin type and undertones.
