Now that summer season is over it’s time to face the new season looking fresh, and the best place to start is with your foundation. It’s time to rethink on how the base to our fall makeup should be like, we want hydration of course, we want creamy and much more. Here are few makeup tips to wearing and finding your perfect foundation for the new season:
Understand The Changes To Your Skin In Each Season
Fall months are cooler and drier, due to this, the skin becomes dry and prone to cracking and flaking leading to acne, redness, e.t.c.which means it’s most recommended to go for creamier and hydrating foundation compare to summer lightweight matte foundation.
This may not be so with every skin type because some skin type barely become obviously dry, take for example, if you have a oily skin, your skin produce more oil than more normal when it’s dry so in that case redress the balance to your skin. This simply means paying more attention to your skincare routine, think of adding moisturisers with ceramide ingredients to repair, rebalance and restore your skin barrier. It can also be used as part of your base routine during your makeup routine which of course you can go in with a matte foundation – this will balance the excess oil production while keeping the skin hydrated.

Consider Changing Your Shade:
Due to sun exposure in summer season it’s possible that your skin may have picked up some colours making your skin looking darker than your normal shade, in this case we will suggesting going for a darker foundation for the first 2 months of fall which you can then go back to your normal shade when your skin repents.

Fall Doesn’t Have To Be Dull, Boost Your Skin Radiance:
Because it’s fall season does not mean the skin have to be dull, fall season can cause the skin to loose its lustre so to balance that out go for foundations with pearlescent luminosity and use as part of your base routine, this will add radiance to your overall look which will continue even if the light is out. You can also opt for moisturisers with light reflecting pigments as part of your base before applying your normal foundation, or powder or cream makeup formula. Consider formulas that perfectly diffuse light and blur our imperfections.

Don’t Be Afraid OF Letting Go Of Foundation Altogether:
Although the weather calls for creamy hydrating foundation even luminous if possible, but not all will relish the idea of going for a heavier formula since summer is over, in this circumstance try a lightweight skin tint instead. Skin tints are known to deliver fresh filter-like skin. Another alternative will be wearing your full coverage concealer on a well prepped skin. Apply the concealer on areas of concern usually under eye, on blemishes/spots, around the nose and mouth. Sheerly brush it into the skin, set with your translucent setting power for natural skin finish.
