Answer 1

I'll tell you a good tip.. use a base of a tinted moisturising tan, something like 'Dove summer glow'... that'll take a few hours to come out, so maybe do it before you go to bed. but that gives you a wicked base and it's really subtle too, so you won't look orange! But then you can apply your regular foundation and powder and you're skin tone will look great!

Answer 2

hey girl! I love liquid makeup foundation, it has that natural sensational look so whatever u use will not go wrong if you slowly apply ur makeup so you can have the best coverage to suit you. Most people like myself I wear it differently. During the day I go for light coverage and when I go out at night I go wild on it. Now, I've tried 3 things for application (sponge, fingers and make-up brush) I can tell you that they are all the same and none of them will do a different job. What you need to do is when using ur fingers make sure ur hands are washed and there's isnt any oil on them and avoid rubbing cos that spreads unevenly. When using a sponge you need to use the dabbing/patting method for a natural finish rather than smoothing across the face cos that'll also spread to the wrong places. When using a brush try small brushing movements almost like dabbing as well cos it can be tricky. Hope this helps!

buy a good concealer, im dark under my eyes, and have red spots under my nose. I use lancome color ID. This kind of foundation evens out your skin tone and blends into it, its heaven sent, and lasts for like 6 months, so its worth the money. I am the palest shade on the market, and it does wonders for me.

If i want to go the cheap route. I Just use a concealer (any brand in ivory) and use a tented moisturizer by neutrogena with a powder over it.

I am in US but i have used green concealor from Estee Lauder and foundation now I use mineral makeup and it is the greatest! There are a number of different kinds out there Loreal which is what i use, bare minerals, everyday minerals and sheer cover! Most are mail order so i think they ship all over the place!

Answer 5

microdermabrasion evens skin tone out without makeup and mineral makeup can help without clogging pores. True and Jane Iredale are some ot the best. Microdermabrasion should be available at most spas in England.

Answer 6

Victoria's Secret cream foundation is great. You would not need any green stuff to cover your flaws. I am not sure whether they carry this in Europe, but a lot of women in US have fallen in love with this product.

I really like Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse, great finish

I use mouse foundation like "Cool Matte Mouse" Or "Dream Matte Mouse" And then put on pressed powder, wich gives you an unshiny, matte finish and looks natural.
