Foundation

Which foundation should I choose?

First of all, it is important to determine your skin tone. If you are dark-colored (for example, with dark brown or black hair and brown or green eyes), you should probably choose makeup with yellowish tones. These often have “honey” or “sand” in the name. If you're a fair person with light hair and hazel, gray, or blue eyes, you'll probably want to go for makeup with pink undertones. “Natural rose” or “Rose beige” are often in the name.
Next, you need to find the right shade of foundation. A foundation should blend with your natural skin tone and thus even out your face. As a test, you can try out 3 different shades on your own cheek - if possible, you should then see in daylight whether one of the 3 variants is invisible; this is then the right shade for you.

Which type of foundation should I choose?

There are different types of foundation that can be used depending on your skin type and preference. Whether liquid, compact, stick form or cushion, it depends on your skin and what you like best.
