Beauty speaks through the skin |

 If it is your first time to try a foundation, then go to a department store to get your perfect shade. After the saleslady swipes on a shade, go outside into true, natural lighting to check it; it is the only way to tell whether the foundation matches or not.
For dry skin:
Any foundation with mineral oil is good.
For normal skin:
Almost any kind but the oil-control ones.
For combination/oily skin:
An oil-free kind. Some foundations that claim to be oil-free aren't, so check the label making sure it doesn't have mineral oil or silicone oil.
For oily skin:
Try the non-transferable ones. They tend to work better on oily skin than on any other type of skin.
 Stick concealers give the most coverage and the most control, but they tend to be oilier and are best for normal or dry skin.
Liquid concealers have a lighter look and feel. Either way, a little dab will go a long way. Too much accentuates rather than hides.
To keep blemishes out of sight: after applying foundation, dab concealer only on blemish. Let it dry a second, then set the concealer by lightly dabbing it with a cotton swab with a little loose powder on the tip.
Use soft colours since most brides want to look 'natural'. Choose colours that are being used in the wedding bouquets, flowers & gowns. Use matte finishes since they photograph best. A little luminescence may be added but no high frost!
Foundation primers and skin perfectors (shadow primer, lip primer, concealer) are a must.
'Set' eyeliners with a powder shadow of the same colour. Stick Foundations are great not only for touch-ups but also for a flawless, picture perfect complexion.
