Choosing which Napoleon Perdis foundation to buy might seem complicated, but it’s not. When you know what to look for, it should be easier to match the foundation to your skin. Experts recommend using these three factors to determine the proper foundation for your skin.
Finish
You can achieve several types of finish on your Napoleon Perdis foundation, but matching the right style for your desired finish is essential for the best results. If you want a dewy finish so your skin has a natural glow without feeling oily, choose the Off Duty Tinted Moisturiser, Personal Trainer Serum Foundation or Light Diffusing Foundation.
Meanwhile, the Sheer Genius Liquid Foundation can achieve a natural matte finish. A natural matte finish is closest to the skin’s natural texture, and it should not look powdery or glowing at all. Other foundation options if you want that matte finish to your skin include the Foundation Stick, Camera Finish Powder Foundation and the Boudoir Mist Spray Foundation.
For those who want that cashmere finish to your skin, the Stroke of Genius Liquid Cashmere Foundation is created for that! This type of foundation is designed to keep your skin looking rich and luxurious. And the China Doll Foundation is best for achieving that soft velvety finish to your skin – one that looks matte at first but exposes the radiance on your skin when hit with light.
Undertone
When buying Napoleon Perdis foundation, the shade depth is often the first thing you might consider. While this is important, you should also consider the undertone shade as it determines the overall finish and coverage you get.
A golden undertone provides a flush of warmth to the finish on your skin. To achieve a golden undertone on your foundation finish, try these products: Off Duty Tinted Moisturiser (Medium to Dark), Auto Pilot BBB Cream (Medium to Dark), Personal Trainer Serum Foundation (Look 2), or Advanced Mineral Makeup (Look 1).
If you want a nice mix of golden and pink pigments to your skin, look for the Napoleon Perdis foundation with a beige undertone. Shop the China Doll Foundation Look 2B, Foundation Stick Look 2 and the Natural and Caramel shades for Camera Finish Powder Foundation to achieve that beige undertone on your makeup.
Choosing a foundation with porcelain undertones would be highly recommended if you have a naturally fair or pale complexion. This will help add a peach or pink flush to your naturally pale face. Meanwhile, if a solid pinkish pigment is what you’re looking for, choose the following foundation: Personal Trainer Serum Foundation in Look 1.5 or the Foundation Stick in Look 2B.
Coverage
The type of coverage is another factor you should look into when shopping for a Napoleon Perdis foundation. There are five types of coverage to look for sheer, minimum, medium, full and maximum. As with the other factors cited above, you must consider your skin tone and the type of makeup you want to create.
You have plenty of options if you want sheer foundation coverage to create an almost naked effect on your skin. Your foundation will seem virtually undetectable if you use Off Duty Tinted Moisturizer, Auto Pilot BBB Cream, Camera Finish Powder Foundation and the Personal Trainer Serum Foundation.
If you want minimal coverage and recreate the “no makeup” look, choose a foundation with minimum coverage, such as Minimal Makeup or the Foundation Stick.
For the best results on reducing pigmentation or the appearance of blemishes, a medium coverage foundation is your best choice. I would recommend using the Advanced Mineral Makeup or Sheer Genius Liquid Foundation.
Meanwhile, you can choose from full or maximum coverage for those who do not mind complete skin coverage. However, this is the perfect solution if you want to create an even skin tone and completely camouflage any pigmentation on your skin. Mixing it with a primer can lighten up a full coverage foundation.
There you go – use this guide to choose your Napoleon Perdis foundation for the best result!
