Christian Dior tonal products have the richest color spectrum - Diorsnow consists of 6 light shades, Diorskin Nude - of 11, and Diorskin Forever as many as 16 tones. Dior's classification of shades is very simple - the second digit in the tone number means the intensity of pigmentation: from 1 to 6, that is, from light to dark. The third digit indicates subton: 0 - beige, 1 - yellow, 2 - pink and 3 - this is apricot subtone.

The choice of the right means depends on many factors and first of all, on the skin color, secondly, on the season (season, climate), thirdly, on the skin condition at that moment, then you still need to decide what you expect from use of foundation, etc.

Again, based on the Christian Dior classification, finding the right color is easy. For example, if you have light skin that is prone to dullness - choose a product with the number 012, it will provide a light natural covering and give a healthy glow. Owners of skin prone to redness should choose the number 011 (light skin) or 021 (medium tone) - yellow undertones remove redness and even out the complexion.

Dark-skinned women should stop the choice on numbers in which the second digit is 3 and higher. This will provide better coverage, and the subtone should be selected based on the needs and characteristics of the skin.

For oily skin Ideal for “Diorskin Star” or “Diorskin Forever.” If the skin is also prone to irritation or inflammation, choose a product with a yellow undertone and a high coverage rate (for example, 031 or 033).

For dry skin “Diorskin Airflash” or “Diorskin Nude Air Serum” will do.

For dull, tired skin choose "Diorsnow" or "Dior Prestige Le Nectar de Teint" with a pink pigment (remember - the third digit = 2).

For fading skin - “Capture Totale” will be an excellent choice. Also, aged ladies should avoid dense textures (get wrinkled into wrinkles, making them more visible) and dark shades - the color should be selected as close as possible to your own tone, and even better - 1-2 shades lighter.

Choose the right tool - this is half the battle, equally important is the ability to properly apply foundation to the face. Below is a list of basic rules for using the framework, as well as some tips from stylists:

• Rule number 1 - common to all types of decorative cosmetics - apply the tonal tool only on previously cleansed and, preferably, moisturized skin.
• It is always preferable to apply the product with your fingers. The only exceptions are creams with a dense texture - they should be applied with a slightly wet sponge.
• Spray “Diorskin Airflash” on your face from a distance of 20 centimeters (eyes closed, covering your hair and protecting clothes), and on your palm (if you want a more dense coating) from a distance of 10 centimeters.
• To hide skin blemishes such as acne or enlarged pores, apply the product onto the skin with a patting motion.

• To highlight the contour, use two products of the same type, but different tones - on the forehead, cheekbones and on the edge of the lower jaw, apply a darker color of the foundation.
• Apply the cream from the center to the edges, following the massage lines and hair growth.
• Always try to apply the product with a thin layer and avoid the area around the eyes.
• On the T-zone, you can add a little powder to enhance the matting effect (for natural coverage, it is important not to overdo the amount).
• Blend the cream on the borders of the ears and neck.
• Do not forget to shake the bottle before use.
