Quick tricks for a flawless finish
Want your makeup to look flawless? Then it’s absolutely essential to get your foundation shade perfect. Read on to find out how to find the right shade, with Rimmel London’s Match Perfection Foundation with SPF20.
1
In a well-lit area, hold the foundation bottle next to your cheek. Pick a shade that looks right for you, as well as a foundation that’s a shade lighter and a shade darker.
2
Swipe a small amount of each foundation shade from the middle of your cheek down to your jawline, and blend with your fingers. This is the best area to test your foundation, as you can see which shade will best match your face and neck.
3
Blend in each foundation to see which shade works best with your skin tone. You’ll know that you’ve got the right one when it seems to disappear into your skin. Wait about a minute for the colour to settle to be certain.
So now that you have the perfect shade of foundation, don’t forget to reassess throughout the year as you might be a little darker in summer or a little lighter in winter.
