The Woman Behind The Mask

Summertime, and the living’s easy.

Well, mostly.

While I was at the beach this weekend, I saw that many, many now-tanned women were still wearing their winter foundation; they looked like they were wearing white Cirque du Soleil masks.

(Yes, where I live in the OC, people wear full makeup to the beach.)

Each time you’ve been in the sun, be sure to do a neck check afterward, when applying your makeup.

The foundation on your face should blend seamlessly into the color of your neck.

Always try to put it on in natural light; many artificial lighting situations won’t accurately show you how well you’re blended.

Brands like Revlon (among many) now offer custom-blend foundation options that have a lighter and a darker color in the same bottle.

The top of the bottle has a switch that goes to any of five positions, letting you choose just the darker color; mostly dark; half dark and half light; mostly light; and all light.

The option’s perfect for women who are frequently changing face color due to outdoor exposure.
