Max factor foundation for dry skin

For dry epidermis, specialized creams are suitable, including makeup bases. Such skin should be carefully cared for and nourished, even if no special problems are visible on the face. This skin type is distinguished from others by narrowed pores, paleness and very low fat content, which is a big problem for many owners. The right approach to choosing cosmetics for dry skin care will help you look beautiful and not age for a long time.

In the modern cosmetics market, manufacturers offer a large number of new foundations for problem skin. Everyone promotes their product as the best, but before purchasing foundation, cosmetologists advise finding out its composition. In any case, a high-quality and proven foundation will help maintain youthful skin for a long time.

Before choosing cosmetics, you need to know your skin type, its features, advantages and disadvantages. It is important to remember that the maximum shelf life of foundations is no more than 30 months. Before purchasing, check the date of manufacture of the cream; the manufacturer stamps it on the tube.

Foundation, like any other cosmetics, should have protective properties.

1. In summer, it protects the skin from ultraviolet rays, the degree of protective filters is at least SPF 8.
2. In winter, from wind, cold and other harmful weather conditions.

A liquid makeup foundation is considered good if it is applied evenly to the face and creates a thick film, but the skin continues to breathe.

Main characteristics

A good foundation for dry skin contains plenty of moisturizing ingredients, vitamins A, E and nutrients. Such products have a high degree of protection in winter and summer. Manufacturers offer creams with hyaluronic acid; it has a positive effect on the skin by retaining moisture and preventing makeup from drying out and cracking. In order not to get confused in the latest cosmetic products, it is advisable to find out brands that specialize in the production of creams “for dry skin” and choose a suitable base for makeup.

1. You should not try various creams on your epidermis that are not intended for dry skin, this leads to rashes and dermatitis. Dermatitis is difficult to cure.
2. You cannot buy a cream and try it on your face just because it is advertised somewhere or recommended by friends. You should not sacrifice yourself and conduct experiments.

It is better to consult with a cosmetologist and, based on your own type of epidermis, select a foundation that matches it.

The foundation is applied to the bend of the elbow or the back of the hand. The color should suit you perfectly so that your makeup looks natural.

We also recommend that you familiarize yourself with the Eveline Liquid Control foundation face cream at the link.

The foundation must match both the skin tone and the color of the powder - only then can you create the perfect makeup.

Application Features

Radiant, smooth, even, beautiful skin thanks to makeup? And why not - the main thing is to follow the technique of applying cosmetics, and the result will not disappoint you.

Do not overdo it when applying the cream - too thick a layer of tone adds age.

Procedure for applying foundation:

1. Cleanse your skin with milk or facial toner, apply a moisturizing fluid and, if necessary, a makeup base.
2. Apply 5 drops of foundation to your face - the size of one drop should be the size of a mustard seed. Points – cheekbones, chin, forehead and tip of the nose. There is no need to wait for makeup base or regular cream to dry.
3. Start blending the foundation - from the center of the forehead to the temples, from the cheekbones towards the chin, from the chin along the contours of the face to the side, from the tip of the nose to the forehead and along the bridge of the nose to the sides. The cream is blended with gentle finger movements or a clean sponge.
4. Fix the result with powder (for the right choice, check out the rating of the best face powders) and sprinkle with thermal water.

That's all - just wait a few seconds and gently blot your skin with a napkin.

Inspect the shading areas - they should not contain streaks.

Additional funds

To create the perfect makeup, in addition to a high-quality tone, it is recommended to use additional cosmetics. Among them:

1. Makeup foundation or base is a silicone transparent gel that evens out skin texture and fills pores. Sold in tubes, bottles with a dispenser or boxes for powder (grout).
2. Concealer is a product used to disguise imperfections. May have different colors (beige, lilac, green).
3. Powder – loose or compact. It will be the finishing touch to creating the image and will “fix” the foundation.

Use blush at your discretion.

The makeup base fills the pores and evens out the skin texture; moreover, the foundation applies much better to it.

Recommendations for selection

The main points to consider when choosing a foundation are your skin tone and type. Let's start with the type:

1. For dry skin, it is optimal to choose creams with a liquid consistency without powdery powders.
2. Oily shine is perfectly removed by a fluid that is thick and dense in texture.
3. For owners of normal and combination skin, experts recommend choosing products with a creamy-powdery texture.
4. The age tone should have a pronounced lifting effect.
5. Sensitive skin feels best under a cream with a mineral base and protective ingredients.

Tone is not only a decorative cosmetic, but also a caring product. Take this into account when choosing.

The second point is color. To avoid making a mistake in your choice, consider the following points:

1. For pink skin you need to choose a beige tone, yellowish skin - beige-pink, dark skin - dark beige or apricot with a pronounced beige tint. That is, “tone on tone” is not always a good option.
2. If you choose a product for daytime make-up, test it in natural light, and if for evening make-up, test it in artificial electric light.
3. Be sure to apply a thin strip of cream to your jawline - this will help you determine whether it will smooth out your neck and face lines.

You can apply three strips of creams of different shades to your skin - this will make it easier for you to choose the optimal one.

Analogs

Among the popular analogues of foundation creams from Max Factor, there are more budget lines of the following brands:

You can also find counterfeits of original Max Factor cosmetics on sale - they come in the same tubes and bottles, but they are much cheaper, do not contain a serial number, have a strong aroma and an appropriate level of “quality.” If you want to purchase a product of an adequate level, but cheaper, it is better to stop at the cosmetics of the trusted brands listed above. And never buy cosmetics on hand.

Analogs of Max Factor foundations have a relatively low price and, judging by the reviews, decent quality.
