foundation make-upEver wondered how celebs look flawless in pictures while we struggle to get the right look? No, it isn't always Photoshop that does the trick. Thanks to their make-up artists, they end up looking gorgeous even if their skin isn't! The trick is to choose the right foundation, as it can make a difference to your overall look.

Opt for a foundation which is of the same shade as your skin tone and not something lighter than it, as you aren't using it to look fairer but have an even complexion. If your skin is too oily, opt for a light formulation; people with mature skin or dry skin can go for medium to heavy foundation. Always try the shade on your cheek or jaw line and not on your wrist, as you may end up buying the wrong shade. Once you buy the right one, apply it on a clean face and dab some powder to finish the look.
