A perfect skin tone is often one of the most lusted after beauty traits and something we are asked about a lot here at SkinBase. The ‘picture perfect’ look can often feel an impossible task and if you’re like me, then you’ve tried everything to make your skin appear more even, including using every makeup trick in the book. Here are some tried and tested tips which are sure to help if an even skin tone is something you are trying to achieve.

Prep with primer for skin perfection

Primer is a much-needed makeup product when it comes to creating an even skin tone and one that I would definitely recommend you all try, as believe me it will make a big difference! Priming your skin is the best way to make sure that your makeup looks beautiful and stays put! I always start with eye primer and then go with a full face primer.

The right foundation works wonders

After primer, foundation is the most important thing to help create a completely even skin tone. For the best and most natural appearance, you should aim to use a foundation colour that is the exact same shade as your skin, that way your skin will look all smooth and natural. It never looks great when your face is a different colour from your chest, does it girls?

Conceal to reveal an even skin tone

Concealer is a wonder product, especially for areas of skin that are particularly patchy, uneven or have imperfections. Dab concealer gently onto the affected area and blend everything together.

Set with powder

Whenever you are dealing with foundation and concealer, it is always best to set them with powder. Whether you are choosing pressed or loose, that’s completely your choice, but it is best you use it as it will help to keep your makeup in place and also prevent that dreaded shine!

Highlight to make skin bright and beautiful

When you have an uneven skin tone, it might feel hard to draw attention to anything else – unless you highlight! Using a bit of highlighting along your cheekbones can really brighten up your entire face. It will also allow your skin to look even and beautiful!

Contouring isn’t just a passing fad

Contouring is one of the best ways to hide your uneven skin tones and even buff them out using good make up techniques! Using a bit of bronzer and a bit of blush can make all of the difference in the world and breathe life into tired and dull skin on days when we are not feeling our best. I usually find that using a little bronzer along my cheekbones and blush along the apples of my cheeks results in a radiant and fresh faced look and really helps to create a more even appearance.

Microdermabrasion

The SkinBase Facial™ is a tried and tested treatment for uneven skin tone, brown spots and blotchy skin.

Because most uneven skin tones are superficial, microdermabrasion is usually the first treatment option people go for. The SkinBase Facial™ uses fine crystals which are gently blasted across the uneven skin tone using a small jet. This directly affects the outer layer of skin causing it to break away, aiding in lightening or removing unwanted pigments and revealing the gorgeous even skin tone beneath.

Rebecca Willshee Nail and Beauty Specialist

Testimonial: “JC was so low, suicidal at points. Sore, red, angry, his skin was awful, we had tried everything and doctors you name it. We reached out to Becky, who was wonderful. My son was quiet and withdrawn, lacked confidence and self esteem, and locked himself away from the world. Becky booked us in for a consultation to discuss different options of treatments and we decided the new hydro treatment would be the best option. We started the course and JC was nervous but Becky was great with him talking him through everything, step by step! As we went each time JC’s skin got better and better, but also the difference in him was huge, he was gaining confidence, shoulders back, head held high. We have watched his skin change from this red, aggressive, angry skin that was sore, acne was debilitating to him but now he is confident, holds his head up high and has even got his first job! We are so proud. When we met Becky I felt confident she would help us get his skin better and back on track but what has actually happened is skin looks amazing but to see our son gain confidence has been the biggest win! Teens often get pushed aside, put on string meds and told “it’s just your age” but this isn’t what they want to hear, but The SkinBase treatments Becky has done has changed his life! We cannot thank you enough Becky! JC is continuing with the treatments as it still gets the odd breakouts but the scarring is still improving week in week out. The hydro Facial is just amazing and we cannot recommend it enough and of course Becky and her passion for skin and helping people is wonderful!”
