Foundation That Makes Your Skin Look Its Best

Have you ever applied a foundation, then looked in the mirror, and thought that it actually made your skin look worse instead of better? “When you start to see the signs of aging, like fine lines, or have an uneven skin texture, and maybe your skin gets a little drier—all of this makes it trickier to wear a full-coverage foundation,” says New York City makeup artist, Yacine Diallo. That’s because full-coverage foundations can sometimes settle into creases, making wrinkles and pores look more pronounced. And the drier your skin is, the harder it is to maintain a fresh radiant glow. Another culprit: Wearing the wrong shade can make full-coverage foundation look more like a mask than real skin. Here’s everything you need to know to avoid the pitfalls of a foundation backfire, and how to make your skin look radiant, plump, and poreless.
