The composition of Japanese foundations

Japanese foundation is very different from the products that were used a few years ago. Now it is a universal product of decorative cosmetics, which not only hides imperfections, but also has a matting and moisturizing effect.

Sea water, as a mineral base, saturates all cells with moisture. In addition, the composition contains sunscreen additives that protect the skin from the effects of ultraviolet light. Reflective particles can add a luxurious glow, highlighting the natural skin tone.

How to choose the right makeup cream and not to be mistaken with the choice?

To begin with, let's clarify - what effect should give an ideal foundation cream. First of all, we study its composition and texture. It is important to pay attention to the density of the product: a good foundation will not look like a "mask" on dry skin, will not fall into the enlarged pores of the epidermis oily type, will not accumulate in the folds of mature skin wrinkles. The palette of makeup creams allows you to choose the right undertone, which will be combined with the natural color of the skin.

How to choose a foundation made in Japan:

• Apply the product on the lower part, on the jaw area, to compare the tone of the cream with the corresponding tone of your face and neck. If you want to test the product on the wrist, you may make a mistake, as this area has a lighter color.
• Artificial light can distort the perception of the color edge, so it is better to evaluate the foundation in natural light.
• If you are not sure of your choice, it is better to ask for a lighter shade, as it brings freshness to the face. Darker shades visually age and look like a "mask".

When using foundation, its firmness is important: it should not "float". Normally, a quality product lasts 6-8 hours, and has a fairly light consistency.
