Max Factor Second Skin Foundation

Summer is all about about looking au naturelle. For skin that naturally glows under those hot summer party nights at the beach, try Max Factor’s all-new Second Skin Foundation. It hides the imperfections yet gives a subtle dewy glow to create a perfectly natural look.

Make up artist Caroline Barnes teaches you how to get the right color for your skin type and how to blend it in to create a natural finish (see Max Factor Second Skin Foundation tutorial). The trick, she says, is to match the color of your neck to your face. This is really important especially when you wear tops and blouses that expose the neck area during the summer.

Of course, the face always does seem a tad lighter than the neck area since we use products to protect the face. That is why it’s important to never neglect the neck area, especially during the summer. It’s wise to apply moisturizer with SPF on the face and blend it downwards unto the neck at all times.

When you go to the makeup counter, have the saleslady apply two shades on the side of your cheek and choose which color looks best on you. Barnes says the matching of the color of the neck to the face is tricky but she teaches us that this is possible with the right product and the right blending technique. With Max Factor’s Second Skin Foundation you create a flawless finish that she says is virtually undetectable even to professional makeup artists. The secret is in the product’s multi-tonal pigment technology that smooths over and blends flawlessly with your own natural complexion. Pair this off with MF’s Natural Mineral Bronzer and you’re all set to party.
