Foundation disasters

As you know, I LOVE natural make-up! I love how you can wear it anywhere at anytime, its quick and easy to apply, but unfortunately for some, that isn't a look they desire. Some girls at my school look like they shoved their head in a packet of doritos! When they are wearing a white top you can see the orangy coloured marks, plus if they hug someone the foundation often comes of and goes onto their clothes - a definate no-no for me. I'm not saying that you shouldn't wear foundation as it isn't my choice, but I would suggest not to pile it on.

I use a bit of tinted moisturizer - not only is it a moisturizer it also has sun block in it too! You can add a bit of colour and stay safe from the sun! :) It is very easy to apply, you just smooth it on evenly just like you normally would. (You can get any subtle colour to suit your skin tone).          


If you are unsure what tone would suit you, ask the people who are selling the item or even ask any member of staff you see around the shop - they will tell you exactly what tone to choose for you.


Of course foundation or concealer is great for covering spots or any blemishes on your face, however, not everyone uses foundation in huge masses or every day, some people put on a bit to add a tone to their face.


There is one thing to look out for though - STREAKS! If you don't apply your foundation/tinted moisturizer (or whatever product you use) you will have streaks on your face, this is NOT a good look - it seems tacky and cheap. Make sure you apply it evenly. To help you to avoid streaks, you can buy sponges or brushes to apply the product (some products come with it).
