The time I realised the importance of having a sober knowledge of foundations was when my sister was getting married.

Being the sister of the to-be-bride, it’s important for you to have a basic knowledge of foundations and makeup, in general, to be able to assemble her makeup trousseau.

As she was busy with all the trials of her outfits and pre-bridal salon sessions, I was the one responsible to make sure that the entire trousseau is intact. I definitely faced quite some toil to find the perfect foundation to be able to put in her vanity because I myself was never a makeup enthusiast. Hence, I failed miserably in finding suitable foundations for her and so, at last, she herself had to look after the foundation part.

So, here I am to brace you from the shame if you are like me when it comes to makeup and specifically foundations. I spoke to some renowned makeup artists and asked them their favourite foundation brands and what they would recommend the bride to must include in their makeup trousseau. #1 Studio Sculpt by M.A.C and All Hours by Yves Saint Laurent
