MAC Foundation Makeup Products Guide
What is FoundationFoundation is a product that is a flesh/complexion toned cream or powder form which is applied to the face to produce a much more uniform and even color to the facial complexion. It can change a woman's skin tone, hide and conceal imperfections, blemishes, even wrinkles and fine lines. Foundation is really the perfect finish for the face.

Sometimes foundation is used as an exact match to the skin tone, and other times it can actually be used to alter the complexion color, either to make it lighter or darker. Be careful when doing this because you always want the face color to match your neck color and blend well with your skin tone, or else you will have that hideous line around the edge of your jaw. But, overall some great uses for foundation in altering color do exist. For example, an overly red complexion could be reduced simply by utilizing a much more beige, yellow tint color of foundation as opposed to a pint tint product. For those who may have a very dull coloring, foundation that has a pinkish clear can be utilized to brighten up the skin tone. Also, ashy skin may be brightened by using a peach toned shade of foundation.
The tones, such as beige, pinks and peaches are really an important consideration for the final look and finish of the foundation. An essential stage of picking your shade of foundation is to realize that the look of the shade inside the container is not an exact measurement of how the actual color will look on your own face.
