Foundation Advice for Women Video

New foundations and foundation tools can help women's faces look great


Good Housekeeping's Beauty Editor Holly Crawford says that with all the beauty products to choose from, foundation is the key to helping a woman look her best.

It's the first thing you put on your face. So, basically, if you get that right, you're gonna get everything else right.

And now, foundations do more than just cover up.

One thing that is so annoying for women is pimples. So, the good news is foundations now incorporate ingredients that treat pimples while you're wearing the foundation. So, for example, this one from Good Skin has salicylic acid, which is the same ingredient we used to use as kids to treat our pimples.

For other women, acne may not be the problem.

When your skin gets dry or you really wanna worry about putting on heavy makeup, a lot of women think they can cover up the problems, but instead, you should lighten up. And the nice thing about this one from Covergirl is, it's kind of a tinted moisturizer, so you're getting the coverage you need without getting that heavy build-up of makeup.

Applying any foundation is a lot easier when you use this brush from Estee Lauder.

I've heard some women even do this underneath their glasses.

For a finishing touch, Good Housekeeping recommends this: Model In A Bottle.

It-- it's a makeup setting spray. It's gonna act just like your translucent powder would and it feels-- feels good.

Another secret for a smoother skin is to use a primer.

This primer is from Laura Mercier. It's known in the industry as sort of one of the best, the gold standard if you will, and it makes the makeup that you're gonna put on just go on so smoothly. It just makes everything look perfect.
