How to Choose the Right Foundation for Honey Toned Skin
Warm and amber, honey-toned skin has a great natural glow to it – however, no matter how healthy and fresh it might be, even honey-toned skin can suffer from blemishes. This is where foundation comes in. Perhaps one of the most popular cosmetic items, foundation makes for an even and flawless complexion, but the trick is finding the right shade and type for your skin.

To begin, make sure you familiarise yourself with the concept of warm and cold tones, so you can choose the right shade of foundation. Honey-toned skin is classified as warm, while complexions that border on pale and porcelain are considered cold. For this reason, you will need to look for warm-toned foundations – these can be yellow, or orange based, and will best accentuate your skin.

Next, you will need to determine how much coverage you need – this will depend on how light or heavy-duty you need the foundation to be. If you have reasonably clear skin, and are just looking to even out skin tone, a light coverage foundation will be sufficient. However, if you have a blemish or two, opt for medium coverage, and finally, if you have lots of dark marks and heavy under-eye circles you wish to smooth over, you will need to invest in a full coverage foundation.

Now decide which type of foundation will work best for your skin type. Foundation can be in different forms, including stick, powder, liquid, and cream. The drier, more matte varieties work better for normal to oily skin, while the cream-based kinds are better for skin that is dry.

In addition to all these factors, it goes without saying that it is essential to invest in a foundation that is of premium quality. No matter how well suited in might be to you in regards to skin type and tone, any low-grade foundation can severely damage your skin – it is also not likely to work very well. For this purpose, make sure you invest in the best you can find – since foundation needs to be used sparingly as it is, and tends to last long, consider a top-quality foundation a worthy investment.
