Perfect Foundation 101: The How To's


LimeLife by Alcone Perfect Foundation comes in 22, wide-range, shades!!

"Our highly pigmented foundation has been a staple of professional makeup artists for decades. Build it up in layers for a full-coverage finish or use with our Skin Therapy or Dew Date for a natural, flawless look."


 

BEST WAY TO USE


Prep skin using Skin Therapy or Dew Date followed by First Base Priming Mist. Use the following techniques to achieve the perfect coverage:


For sheer, lighter coverage, use a damp, non-latex sponge or our Blenderful sponge using a small amount of product. Because our foundation contains such a high percentage of pigment, a little product goes a long way.


For medium coverage, use a dry non-latex sponge or our Foundation or Buffer Brush.


To achieve a full coverage application, apply the foundation in thin layers using our Foundation brush to build up to your desired, natural, opaque finish.


For a matte finish, set product with our Perfect Pressed Powder. Keep foundation in place for up to 16 hours by setting makeup with Time Setter or Oil Strike Finishing Mist


 

Shinto Series - The Shinto series are an incredibly popular color range. These shades all feature a golden or yellow/green undertone. These are popular among, but not limited to, those that have an Eastern European, Latino, Hispanic, Mediterranean or Middle Eastern ethnicity, and those that tan easily.

Porcelain, Ivory and Gena Beige - These shades cover the lightest of skin tones with pale warm undertones. These skin tones often burn easily in the sun, and generally do not hold a tan long, if they tan at all.Olive Series -

The Olive series are warmer than the Shinto series. Less yellow, these are beige/pink/orange undertones and are popular among those with, but not limited to, an Irish, Scottish, British, and Brazilian ethnicity. Often in this range the user will have freckles or burn easily in the sun.

MB Series - The MB series is for deeper skin tones and generally have a warm orange/red undertone. As you get into the deepest shades in this series, you will find a nice mixture of both warm and cool tones to mimic the natural pigment in the darker shade range of skin tones.

DM Series - The Danessa Myricks series offers a wider variety of shades for the deeper skin tones.


The Perfect Foundation is so heavily pigmented, 50% pigment compared to your department store foundations that sit between 18-22%, it is important to remember a little bit goes a very long way! The average person will keep a pan of the Perfect Foundation for around 6 months.


 

For the Oily Skin consumer I would recommend a good primer, setting spray for oil control and setting powder! LimeLife by Alcone's First Base Priming Spray, Oil Strike and Perfect Translucent Powder will change the whole Foundation game for you!!


For the Normal to Combination Skin consumer I would recommend The First Base Priming Spray and Time Setter setting spray.
