5 Tips To Find Your Perfect Foundation

Picking a foundation at the drugstore can be frustrating since you don't have the advantage of trying it on as you do in retail stores. In light of that, here are some tips on the most proficient method to find your ideal match. Finding foundation at Nordstrom is easy and simple. Visit the beauty counters at Nordstrom and find perfect foundation shades for you according to your skin type. In addition to these tips to find your perfect foundation, I also have a way for you to get great deals, check out matchzup.com for discounts on beauty products.

1. Discover your skin type:
While picking a foundation it's best to know your type of skin. Foundations today come in such a large number of various types– cream, powder, fluid, mousse–that it's staggering to attempt and make sense of which is best for you. Foundations are planned for slick, dry, full grown, typical, delicate skin. Remember that most ladies' skin sort changes with the climate. In winter, you may be dry, while in summer you may be slick. On the off chance that you have dry skin, go for a hydrating fluid or a cream. In the event that you have slick skin, then a mineral, powder or sans oil fluid recipe is ideal.

2. Be familiar with your undertones:
You've most likely heard somebody discussing undertones – the tint or cast of shading underneath your skin – before. Knowing your coloring hues is fundamental to finding the right foundation. There are three types of tints: Warm, neutral and cool. In case you're not certain what you are, I suggest taking a look at your wrist. Does the shading look more pink or yellow, or does it fall someplace in the middle? Pink means you have cool undertones, yellow is warm and, if you're someplace in the middle, you're neutral.

3. Discover your shade:
Pick a few shades that come nearest to your skin tone. Hold the samples to your jawline and consider the shade of your neck, which is frequently paler than your face. Be aware of poor, fluorescent overhead lighting that can cast unflattering shadows. (I can't STAND being in stores with nasty lighting! Yuck!) Stand close to a window or head outside to check your shading. The right tone ought to vanish into your skin.

4. Pick your coverage:
Consider your foundation goal. Perhaps lighter coverage in summer and a heavier, creamier base in colder months. A simple way to go is using tinted lotions.  Easy to apply and nice, light coverage every time. If your skin tone is uneven and you have certain facial coloring you'd like to cover, consider a medium-weight foundation. Most medium-weight foundations can be easily layered which makes them perfect year-around.
5.  Apply like a professional:
The general purpose of foundation is to enhance your skin, not shroud it. You need to apply foundation with the goal of looking natural – you shouldn't see where your applied foundation begins and ends.  Blend, blend, blend!  Tinted lotions and BB creams: Rub them onto skin with clean fingers, or use a makeup sponge. Fluids, mousses, and creams: Use a sponge to create a smooth look. Buff, mixing outward. Top your cream-based foundation with a translucent powder.  Powder base foundation: Use a brush, using very little product and build if more coverage is needed.
Foundation doesn't need to be a mystery.  Along with taking great care of your skin, a foundation can help you protect your skin and achieve a healthy glow.

Miss Poodle Perm, That's Me!

Jill of Scary Mommy is doing a linky post about school pictures. You know the ones, possibly you didn't smile a sweet smile, just the smirk of panic. Or you didn't know it was picture day because you had been out sick for a week and you show up in your most comfortable shirt and bed-head. (Yep. That happened to me. The smile was good though!) Well, my scanner isn't working or else I would post a particular picture from Freshman year. Since I don't have a visual, here's the story: I remember my first day of High School. Actually what I remember is the picture taken of me leaving for my first day of High School. I'm wearing a brave smile, but the hair, the hair , my hair style was a nightmare. My two best friends and I were going to be attending a High School out of our district. That was stressful enough. To add to this new-ness we wanted new looks as well. K. was going to sport the Argyle and Alligator shirt look. W. was going for 'All Monogram

My Questions Answered By Chef Pati Jinich - Video

Rob and I have been focusing on finding foods and spices that will help us take some weight off.  I've been slightly obsessed with staying on my exercise track (on week 8 now :->) and hope to get rid of this jiggly belly that has become wa-a-a-ay too comfortable on my body.  The older you get the harder it is to lose weight.  What I would say to my 40 year old self - 'See that pouch starting?  Do your crunches and planks now!  7 years from now it's going to get ugly !' I've found that spices cumin, cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes and turmeric are noted to increase metabolism.  ( Yes please !)  After a good workout coconut water is more beneficial in regulating your electrolytes, and lower in calories, than sports drinks.  It also contains more potassium than other drinks which is an important component in helping to build muscle which, in turn, helps you burn more calories. And my most surprising discovery - eating avocados help burn belly fat! I&#
