Foundation

The first skin tints were used by women of Ancient Egypt, Greece and India. They mixed flour, chalk, and oils and distributed this composition over their face to achieve noble paleness. Later, they started to use a white lead and rice flour, which were harmful to health.

How the first foundation appeared

• We owe the invention of the modern foundation to Max Factor and cinema. The famous make-up artist set the goal of creating make-up paint that wouldn't give the effect of a mask or dry and crack under the lights. In 1935, he presented a new product based on liquid pigments and talc, which was recognized as revolutionary.
• Foundation is an indispensable tool for creating a day, night and festive look. After all, it is important to prepare the skin before applying bright eyeshadows and lipstick palettes. If you want to get a fantastic result, you need to choose the right item that won't clog the pores, tighten and dry your epidermis or look like a mask. If you select a high-quality product, you won't even feel it on your face, and the others will only notice your impeccable appearance. Today, it is easy to buy the foundation, as all cosmetic brands produce this product.

Types of foundations

As for the release form, you can find the foundation in a plastic tube, glass vial, stick or spray (the latter is especially convenient to use). Such recent trade as "cushion" is one of the many achievements of the Korean beauty industry. It is a real deal for summer due to the combination of the caring solution, base and powder in a single case.

Each package conceals a product with a certain consistency – from liquid and cream to gel. Some of them have a shine effect, and others- a matte finish. The foundations can be regular or water-resistant. Based on their purpose, they are divided into day and night. Some of them are universal, and others – intended for photo- or video recordings. There is also a wide variety of pigments – from reflective and light-diffusing to colouring. The foundations also vary in their composition. The foundations can be water- or silicon-based with the addition of waxy substances.

Finding the perfect face cosmetic that fits the features of your skin is not an easy task. But if you choose this decorative cosmetic item correctly, you will get a fresh, rested, and radiant face. A properly chosen foundation can hide small wrinkles and imperfections. You should select it very carefully at the MAKEUP online store; otherwise, your make-up will look messy, and the existing skin imperfections will become very noticeable.
