Don't Get Weighed Down Whether you have oily or dry skin, choosing a lightweight foundation with good coverage is key. If you pick a formula that's too heavy, you'll veer into stage-makeup territory. But not enough coverage can draw attention to flaws. Rimmel London's New Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation is a silky-smooth, oil-free formula that gives buildable coverage with a lightweight texture.
"Color-match your foundation by applying a swatch of color along your jaw line and blend down onto the neck," says Piggott. "The right shade will disappear into your skin."
To apply, Piggott recommends using your fingers, which is the ideal technique for Stay Matte's spongy texture. Apply the foundation lightly and, starting at the center of your forehead, blend the foundation outward, and add more coverage where it is needed. "A beautiful matte base is right on trend," says Piggott. "It's classic, elegant and sophisticated."
