Foundation mistake: this is the worst thing you can do

Don't do it!
Worst Foundation mistake ever

We have all gone wrong when it comes to choosing the perfect foundation color. It's not necessarily easy either. However, there is something that, in the eyes of Zoeva founder Zoe Boikou, is even worse than the wrong note. The superwoman reveals what that is in the BRIGITTE.de interview.

The worst mistake is choosing a phrase to cover. Very often I see too many layers that are too heavy. It doesn't look good, it looks like a mask. One should rather choose a light and buildable formulation.

According to Zoe, we should touch up impurities and co. Selectively with a concealer and not with an ultra-covering foundation. So it still looks natural. In the end, of course, everything is set with a powder so that the concealer stays where you applied it. If you use a light foundation, you also prevent the product from immediately slipping into the wrinkles.

It is important to start with little product. I always pick up a little foundation with a brush, spread it all over my face and work it in with circular movements. Then you should always step away from the mirror a little, look at yourself and consider whether you really need more product. In most cases this is not the case.

Anyone who has found the right formulation for themselves but has still sold out of color should not even try to make the product suitable in any way. Instead, Zoe advises:

It would be best to give them back. I wouldn't necessarily try to mix the color because that can destroy the whole texture of the product.

Sounds logical, because mainly because of the texture we buy a special foundation – depending on the needs of the skin and our own preferences. Zoeva also recently launched a foundation, the Authentik Skin Foundation. The special thing about this: There are 44 colors and the different nuances were named after positive character traits. There are names like Amazing, Brilliant, Gifted or Powerful. So the product applies twice as well.
