Technical make up lesson - White base

To create a white base I have experimented with a few make up products, I have tried Illamasqua skin base foundation, Kryolan super colors in white and Aqua color in white. Illamasqua skin base a lot easier to work with, it was gliding a lot smoother, not so many streaks and it was easier to buff out. Kryolan super color and aqua color on the other hand was very hard to work with it was a lot thicker consistency so it was harder to blend it nicely, there was a lot of streaks while applying and much harder to buff it out. I definitely prefer Illamasqua white base because pigmentation is very good, easier to apply and it is a lot less streaky while applying.
