But nothing is impossible, because the modern tonal resources are selected not only for the skin tone or type of make-up (day or night), but for different skin types are selected, and various kinds of tonal resources. There is even a special means for inflamed skin.
The structure of modern powders and creams often include nutrients and vitamins, toning the skin with antioxidants and tkaneukreplyayuschie compositions with lifting effect. Talk about them, not only as a "beginning" of makeup, but also as a final touch of morning procedures for skin care.

If it is required to make a thicker layer, for example, make up in the evening, the sponge must be dry. Thick masking effect gives the foundation in the form of a pencil, for example Sophistick by Guerlain, which is well hidden under the dilated capillaries on the face. Thus on the whole face cream should be applied with a brush or sponge, and by a pencil to correct makeup.
Now foundation using synthetic microfiber forming on the skin "elastic mesh," which allow air to pass freely, for example Fluid Mat Aera Teint by Vichy.
