My Favorite Product!

It’s the base of every beauty look and the tool that keeps our confidence in check when our skin won’t cooperate: FOUNDATION. As with any beauty essential, sometimes the quest to find the perfect foundation for your skin can leave a girl a bit overwhelmed by options. There are so many different formulas, textures and ingredients out there. Knowing which foundation will suit your skin type best is tough - so I'm spilling my secret to flawless looking skin, and my favorite Senegence® product: MakeSense® Foundation! It's:

  • Suitable for all skin types.

  • SPF30 Natural cover (no chemicals)

  • Use with SeneDerm™ Day Time Moisturiser for SPF30, natural cover.

  • SeneGence® has gone a step further with all creme cosmetics - they are all formulated with our SeneDerm™ Skin Care ingredient, SenePlex™ Complex™.

  • Protecting your skin daily from our harsh environment

AND, your foundation is the first thing you put on your skin (after all, it’s called foundation for a reason…). So watch below as I tell you exactly why this is the only foundation you should have in your makeup kit!

SO HOW DO YOU FIND THE PERFECT SHADE?

Matching a Shade to Your Skin Tone

A good trick for finding the right shade of foundation is to match it to your chest—especially if you’re good at protecting your face and neck with SPF. You can also test a color on the back of your hand and then walk outside if you don’t trust the store lighting. Either way, leave it on for a few minutes to see how it changes as it is absorbed into your skin. Also, don’t be afraid to mix colors. I use two different foundation colors for summer and winter (depending how much sun I’ve gotten), and mix them together in between those two seasons.

Application Tips

Never apply foundation to un-moisturized skin. If your skin is on the drier side, you’ll also want to exfoliate prior to applying any products. Then, warm the foundation in the palm of your hand, and then sweep it across your face and neck using clean fingers, a foundation brush or a beauty blender. I actually think that fingers work best for hitting hard-to-reach spots, but that can be a matter of personal preference. When you’re applying foundation, don’t forget about the spot where your jaw line meets your neck! Make sure your face and neck match by blending the foundation into the top of your neck as well.
