2. Determine the level of coverage
Carla: “Besides choosing the correct foundation color it’s also important to think about the desired coverage and structure. Here, a distinction is made between sheer, full coverage and a glow.”
Transparent coverage
Carla: “With troubled skin, it’s better to avoid foundations with a glow, because this will emphasize irregularities. Sheer foundations often have a glow, so do you want to camouflage the skin, choose a full coverage foundation with a matte result.
Do you want to apply a thin ‘film layer’ onto the skin, then go for a serum or BB cream. Both give an evenly, thin and transparent effect and still show your natural skin. Choosing the color of a sheer foundation is less risky, because this type of foundation blends with your natural skin. For this reason, transparent foundations also cover multiple skin tones per color number.”
