Blending foundation makeup

If you've tried blending foundation makeup, then you have found there are lots of different products. This may have left you frustrated by a finish that isn't transparent, smooth and seemless, you'll be interested in finding how to blend foundation makeup.

This will be a particular problem for you especially if you have fine hairs on your face which the base may get caught on, emphasising the base, rather than your face. Blending foundation makeup should spread seamlessly onto your face, and look no different from your regular skin, except for appearing smoother.

So where can you find foundation that blends well? Are there some brands that are known for doing this better than others? And how do they work?

If you're looking for a foundation that blends well, a great product to consider is Clinique Almost Makeup. It's very light, so you'll need to have good skin to wear it, but it mixes brilliantly with your skin colour, and is great for women who have slightly downy hair on their faces. Another terrific product is called Chantecaille Real Skin. At ?39 it's a bit expensive, and can only be found at Space NK, Harrods and Fenwick of Bond Street, but it's well worth the cost and the trouble. It's an extremely light product, having basically no weight at all, is invisible to the naked eye, and best of all, it won't draw attention to tiny hairs. It's technology is quite advanced. It works because it's full of minsicule mirror balls that refract different light bands. What happens is that our eyes become confused looking at it, so the picture blurs and creates the illusion of perfect skin. Neat huh? If you're thinking of trying it, why not pay a visit to the makeup counter at Harrods and have the make up artist test it out on you. That way you can see for yourself how it works before deciding to spend the money.

Infact, when spending money on any cosmetic, it's often helpful to try it out at the counter first. This ensures that you make a purchase that you're happy with!
