Second Skin

Anyone can have perfect skin. It's a simple matter of blending with the right foundation, right?

Before you shop for the right shade, though, find a formulation that's good for your skin first. Only then choose a shade that closely matches your skin.

Foundation shades are more Asian skin friendly these days, although some are friendlier than others. Here's a checklist.

Rule 1: Be realistic. If, for example, you have very oily skin, no oil-free formulation is going to make you look matte all day long.

Rule 2: Decide on the texture. Liquids will give a sheer effect, while creams and compact foundation give a more matte, heavier coverage. But not to worry -- today's matte resembles real skin.

Rule 3: Prep the skin with a moisturizer, lotion, or foundation primer to help foundation spread more easily. No makeup will stay on your face long enough without this preparation.

Rule 4: Blend well with your fingers or a sponge. Less is always more for a seamless look.

Rule 5: Use a big, fluffy brush to lightly dust on translucent powder. This step can be skipped if you do not have oily skin.

Rule 6: What matches your skin often looks darker in a bottle.

Rule 7: Mix and match colors to get just the right shade, if necessary.
