Hi everyone and I my name is Maria Williams the CEO of The Color Box By Maria. We are a full service make Artist Company and make up educational center.
It seems that times have changed in the make up world and have improved for the better. Today make up is made easier and fun, but one area I find that women seem to struggle with is proper foundation. Foundation is what I call in the business “the basics of beauty and the stage for beauty. You can wear the best eye shadows, great blush and the baddest lipstick but of the foundation is wrong, you just don’t do justice to the make up nor are you enhancing your true beauty!
We have evolved from our so called “mom’ s make up” or the two colors of foundation “light and dark”. Now you can find foundation in the standard liquid, cream and cream to powder. Although we have choices I still find that women are still in the struggle for that perfect foundation. So what is the answer?
As a Make Up Artist the key things that I find that solve this issue are the following:
(1) Good skin care: cleanse your face and eye area prior to your make application
(2) Moisturize: You must hydrate your skin/face prior to make up application. If your face is dry and you apply any make up product, you face will just “drink” the product into your skin.
(3) Face Primer: face primer is the first layer before your foundation. The purpose of a primer is to even out your skin tone, helps your make up stay on for a longer period of time.
(4) Have a quality foundation brush whether you use a liquid or powder foundation.
Once you have achieved the three above you are ready to apply your foundation.

The favorite house pick by The Color Box By Maria are:
