When it comes to finding foundation colors that match my skin tone, I sometimes feel like a brown Goldilocks. Paul & Joe foundation? too yellow. Maybelline Pure Makeup? way too pink.
I’ve struggled to find the right in-between shade that doesn’t make my face look ashy or sallow. If you have the same foundation color woes, then you just might dig my two new fave foundations, Becca luminous Skin Colour tinted moisturizer ($40.00) and Becca Stick foundation ($39.00). Both create a perfect, natural foundation look for neutral skin tones.

Becca luminous Skin Colour in the shade Nut, with Becca Stick foundation in Coffee
Becca Cosmetics, an Australian line known for its extensive range of foundations and powder shades, can help you achieve a flawless, natural-looking and long-lasting foundation look. but be forewarned, Becca believes you’ve got to use multiple products: primer, tinted moisturizer, stick foundation and powder.
In addition to foundation for neutral skin tones, Becca has a wide range of foundation colors — pink, yellow and warm shades — for other skin tones. If you have skin with a neutral tone like I do, with skin that’s neither pink/red nor yellow/gold dominating your skin color, it can be really hard to find a foundation because so many of them are rarely true neutral.

Combining several $40 products seems like an expensive, time-consuming endeavor. The skeptic in me originally thought this was just clever marketing, but after a few weeks of using both the luminous Skin Colour tinted moisturizer and the Stick Foundation, I’m really digging this combination because the color matches my skin perfectly. They’re also easy to use and don’t break me out.
How to work it
I’m a total lazy beast, so here’s my quick and dirty guide to how I use Becca foundation. These steps take about four minutes if I’m in a hurry.
1. Prep skin with moisturizer and sunscreen.
2. Blot excess.
3. If I have time, I’ll start by applying a layer of Laura Mercier Oil-Free primer, but I usually skip this step.
4. apply 1-2 pumps of Becca luminous Skin color all over face with fingers.
5. put a few dabs of Stick foundation on fingers and rub between fingers to warm up product. apply only to areas where color needs to be evened out; on me that’s the red patches around my nose, on my cheeks and between my brows. Smooth and blend into skin until obvious lines are covered.
6. apply Laura Mercier Translucent loose setting Powder all over to set foundation.
When applying foundation, I usually like using the MAC 182 brush, but, with Becca products, fingers work better. The luminous Skin Colour has a thinner consistency and matches my skin tone more closely than Laura Mericer’s tinted moisturizer does. It doesn’t look like it’s sitting on top of my skin the way Laura Mercier’s tinted moisturizer does, and I don’t need to worry as much about blending the product with my 182 brush to create a natural look. The Stick foundation has a thick and waxy consistency, but, again, the color matches my skin so well that warm fingers are all I need to blend it easily and perfectly into my skin.
Neutral Territory
For me, the defining difference between the Becca foundations and Laura Mercier’s tinted moisturizer is color. I’ve always known that Laura Mercier’s “Almond” shade was close to my natural skin tone (albeit a touch too pink), but I liked the coverage and just assumed I’d never find anything closer. but Becca’s Stick foundation in the Coffee shade is truly neutral, with no dominant yellows or pinks, and melts right into my skin.
Other neutral colors in the Becca Stick foundation line are:

Latte – pink-neutral/light to fair complexions

Side note: Don’t the makeup gods have a sick sense of humor? I finally find foundation that matches my skin perfectly and snag it on sale at a deep discount (SCORE!) on Sephora.com … but, of course, the only reason I get it so low-cost is ’cause Sephora’s phasing out their entire Becca inventory. SAÇMALIK! I did find a few online sites still carryiDermstore ve Becca Web sitesi gibi hattı ng, bu yüzden her şey kaybolmaz.
Sopa Vakfı: Pazar sabahı gibi kolay
Sadece geçmişte sıvı temelleri kullandım, bu yüzden bir sopa vakfının kullanımı zor olacağını düşündüm. Yanılmışım. Çok zaman harcamak zorunda olmadığımı seviyorum. Beni şaşırtan başka bir şey, formülün nasıl bu kadar kalın olabileceği ama cildimde bu kadar hafif hissetmesi. Göç etmez veya çizgiye girmez ve asla kek yapmaz. Orta kapsama alanı seviyorum, bu yüzden çok fazla kullanmıyorum, ancak daha ağır bir temel görünümünü seviyorsanız, ürünü daha fazla kapsama alanı elde etmek için kolayca katmanlayabilirsiniz.
Nötr bir cilt tonunuz olmasa bile, Becca temelleri kontrol etmeye değer. İyi performans gösterirler, müthiş bir renk seçimine sahiptirler ve kullanımı kolaydır. Çok fazla renkle, sizin için işe yarayan bir şey bulmak zorundasınız!
Oldukça genç şeyler, benden sonra tekrar, “Hayır, nah, nah nah!” Deyin.
