Foundation: true or false?

A fundamental component to create a perfect make-up, the foundation, when well chosen and applied, evens out the complexion, masks imperfections and gives brightness to the skin.

Many women think that the foundation creates a sort of barrier that prevents the skin from breathing, in reality thanks to modern technologies and new formulations, this does not happen. Indeed, most foundations not only also protect against harmful UV rays, but have a real treatment effect, so they not only minimize imperfections and make the complexion homogeneous, but moisturize, fill and relax.

Another fairly rooted belief is that foundation accentuates the signs of aging. Also in this case we are faced with a false rumor because, if well applied and especially if well chosen, the foundation helps to hide these marks very well thanks to formulas that not only do not accentuate small wrinkles and expression lines, but through the reflection of light minimize them.

Finally, do not forget that the foundation, although of the latest generation and quality, cannot work miracles if the skin of the face is neglected. Daily cleansing, weekly peeling and hydration must be regular beauty routines!
