The MAKE UP FOUNDATION

The use of cosmetics to enhance the facial features goes back thousands of years, and is still as popular as ever. Make up Foundation, as the name suggests, provides the basis for the make-up process.

The first commercially available foundation was actually developed for the movie industry, and helped to turn early Hollywood stars such as Mary Pickford and Clara Bow into desirable screen sirens.

Properly applied, foundation will enhance the skin-tone and improve the complexion. It comes in various strengths, and different types will suit different people. An application of sheer foundation is the most transparent, while a full application can be used to cover blemishes such as scars and moles.

Choosing the correct foundation isn't always easy, and beauticians are trained to know which shades will suit which types of complexion. People with redder complexions would tend to need a clear foundation with a hint of beige, while paler faces need a pinker tint to bring them out.

It's a common misconception that foundation should be applied all over the face. Most experts agree that it's more beneficial to apply it where it's most needed. This usually means along the nose and parts of the cheeks. However, in winter many peoples' cheeks are rosier, and would need to be toned down a little.

Make-up Foundation is manufactured using a blend of many ingredients, but the most popular formulas in use today are based on oil, water, powder, alcohol or silicone.
