Complexion - There Are No Short Cuts

Image Source: Internet

The way to do a complexion, neat and clean though is pretty simple but it requires some logical thinking on our part.

You have a few (or all of these) concerns you tackle while doing a complexion:

1. Part of your skin that is of your normal skin tone colour.

2. Part of your skin that has gone darker (blue/purple) than your normal skin tone colour.

3. Part of your skin that has gone darker than your skin tone but isn't blue/purple-y rather just dark brown.

4. Part of your skin that may be red-ish.

These are pretty much the general skin concerns. And to effectively build a complexion you need to bring any part of your skin that is other than your normal tone (point 1) back to its normal tone THEN do something else on top (highlight or colour).

To tackle concern number 2, you use a warmer foundation product (concealer, high coverage, with more red in it) to bring that darkened, cooler (purple/blue) skin tone back to the normal tone.

To tackle concern number 3, you may use a foundation product (concealer, high coverage) that may be of the same colour as your normal skin tone.

To tackle concern number 4, you may only need to apply another thing layer of your foundation product that you apply on parts of your skin with normal skin tone.

Only when you have a one tone skin tone that you go ahead and apply a foundation product (concealer or highlighter) under your eyes or anywhere on your face to take that normal skin tone a bit lighter to highlight and add a darker colour to take the normal skin tone a bit darker to contour.

There is no other way around.

There are no short cuts.
