There are no rules for makeup and you can play around with it as much as you want. There are different types of people when it comes to application. Some like the full beat while others want something more minimal and natural. If you’re the latter, there are lots of products you can use to achieve it. For example, not all foundations are full coverage. If you look around, you’ll find base makeup that is not only lightweight but has sheer and light coverage as well. This is a great option if you just want to even out your skin tone a little or are in the mood for just a touch of makeup.
