Foundation Tips for a Flawless Base

on By

We’re always searching for techniques that can help us achieve a flawless and glowing look. And for the holy grail of makeup saviours, there are two essentials that beauty buffs have in their arsenal at all times: a good foundation and primer.

Every makeup look starts with a good foundation, both literally and figuratively. Choosing the correct base will make all the difference in creating a radiant look that lasts all day. But with so many options on the market, it can be overwhelming trying to find a product that is the perfect fit for you. That’s why we’ve put together this step-by-step guide that’ll take your beauty base to the next level. Learn how to find the perfect foundation, the best application techniques and how to get the most out of your product, so you can achieve a flawless finish that lasts all day.

The Importance of a good foundation

Foundation is the base for the rest of your makeup, creating a smooth canvas for your other products to glide on effortlessly. It also helps cover imperfections, making your skin appear more even-toned and radiant. But foundation can also be a double-edged sword if the wrong formula is used incorrectly.
Here’s how to avoid any foundation mishaps:

1. Why Cleansing & Moisturising Is Key

Cleansing your face before applying foundation removes dirt, oil, and impurities from your skin. By cleansing your face, you’re creating a clean surface, which is imperative for a flawless base. Then apply a gentle moisturiser to lock-in hydration. This crucial step will help your skin achieve a natural, youthful glow while preventing your foundation from drying out.

These two steps work together to help create a hydrated and even surface for your products to glide on effortlessly. If you have oily skin, look for a lightweight, oil-free moisturiser so you’re not adding excess oil into your routine. If you have dry skin, look for a richer, hydrating moisturiser to revitalise a dehydrated appearance.

2. Primer Time

Primers are heavyweights in the skin preparation step, minimising pores, increasing hydration and smoothing texture. They work together to create the perfect base for make-up application, and the effects of this product help you achieve that ‘airbrush’ coverage look we all love. 

A good primer can also help with oil control, preventing the foundation from transferring, boosting its durability and coverage. Explore Napoleon Perdis’ primers, which pair perfectly with and will extend the wear of your foundation.

3. How To Choose The Right Foundation For Your Skin Type

When it comes to choosing a foundation, there are a few things to consider. Firstly, your skin type. Do you have dry, oily, or combination skin? This will determine the formula of foundation that will work best for you. There is a range of foundation types with options for all skin types, from liquid foundations, which have a lightweight coverage for a natural look, or stronger foundations for a more full-coverage, matte finish.

Best Foundation For Oily Skin:

If you have oily skin, you’ll want a foundation that helps control shine and won’t clog your pores. Oil-free, matte-finish foundations are a great option, as they can help keep your skin looking matte all day long and prevent breakouts. Some ingredients to look for in foundations for oily skin include salicylic acid, which can help unclog pores, and silica, which helps absorb oil. When choosing a foundation for oily skin, be sure to look for one that is long-wearing and transfer-resistant so it stays put throughout the day.

Best Foundation For Dry & Sensitive Skin:

If you have dry or sensitive skin, you’ll want to look for a foundation that provides hydration and won’t cause any irritation. Look for foundations that contain moisturising ingredients, like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, or ceramides. These components can help hydrate and protect your skin. Avoid foundations with ingredients that could cause irritation, such as fragrances, essential oils, or alcohol.

Best Foundation For Combination Skin:

If you have combination skin, you’ll want a foundation that can balance your skin’s oiliness and dryness without causing further problems. Look for lightweight, buildable coverage foundations that are oil-free and non-comedogenic, which means they won’t clog your pores. Consider a foundation that contains skincare ingredients that can improve skin texture and tone, such as vitamins, antioxidants, or fruit extracts. When applying foundation to combination skin, you can use different formulas in different areas of your face. For example, you might use a matte finish foundation on oily areas and a hydrating foundation on dry areas.

Whether you are looking for a lightweight, natural finish or full coverage, explore Napoleon Perdis’ foundations, with a wide range of foundation shades and formulas to suit all skin types and tones.

4. How To Choose The Ideal Foundation Shade

Another critical thing to consider when shopping for foundation is your skin tone. There are three main categories: cool, warm, and neutral. Cool skin tones have pink, red, or bluish undertones; warm skin tones have yellow, peachy, or golden undertones; neutral skin tones combine both.

Once you know your skin tone, find a foundation that matches your cool, warm or neutral appearance. This will help the product blend seamlessly into your skin, avoiding harsh lines and colour mismatches.

Foundations pair the same tonal variations that our skin has, so follow the same colour themes when finding the perfect product for yourself. It’s always best to test swatch the foundation shade against your jawline to see if it’s too orange, green or pink against your skin tone. And remember, you can also mix-and-match products to create a unique shade that’s customised to you! 

5. How to Apply Foundation: Expert Tips to Master Foundation Application

Tools and brushes are just as important as the foundation itself. Use a flat foundation brush to buff out the product, starting in the centre of your face and gently blending outwards.

Build up coverage gradually. Start with a light foundation layer and add more product as needed. This will help you avoid a cakey, unnatural finish! Finish with a translucent setting powder and spray to help your base last all day.

Achieving a Flawless Look with the Right Foundation

Now you know the secrets to achieve flawless, radiant makeup that lasts all day. Start using these tips in your makeup routine, and you’ll be glowing in no time.

The Lunchtime Lift

on By

What if you could erase fine lines in your lunch break? The Ultraformer III, available at Advanced Cosmetic Medicine, claims to do just that.

Say goodbye to wrinkles, stubborn body fat and sagging skin with the Ultraformer III, the revolutionary, non-invasive treatment promising to make you look (and feel) totally transformed in as little as one treatment.

The non-invasive treatment contours areas of concern via a low dose of micro-focused ultrasound (MFU) energy and can reach precise skin depths without causing damage. The heat released via MFU energy results in tissue remodelling, boosting collagen production and naturally stimulating the skin to tighten, brighten and revitalise. You can expect to experience some tingling during the treatment, but numbing cream, applied half an hour beforehand, minimises any discomfort.

It’s been hailed the ‘lunchtime lift’, reportedly leaving you looking refreshed in just 30 to 40 minutes. So, whether you’re concerned about fine lines around the eyes or the subtle appearance of a double chin, this treatment can be highly-tailored to target the lax areas you’re looking to lose.

And it’s not just the face and neck that the Ultraformer III targets. Stubborn areas we all struggle with (think hip dips, wobbly thighs and soft stomachs) can become taut and toned as the Ultraformer III kills fat cells before being naturally removed via the body’s lymphatic system and metabolism.

Most patients will only need to have the treatment once a year to maintain results, with little to no downtime usually experienced. Individuals with severe skin sagging may need treatments every six months initially, with annual appointments afterwards (more than 90 percent of people who’ve used the Ultraformer III claim to see an improvement in as little as four to 12 weeks).

And while the reported results are significant, they are also subtle. The thirdgeneration, highly-focused ultrasound treatment aims to enhance your natural appearance, not radically change it. Think of it as a skin refresh instead of a total beauty overhaul.

These natural results are in line with Advanced Cosmetic Medicine’s ethos. Dr Rahma Targett is an expert at achieving an individual’s aesthetic goals while advocating for natural enhancements without over-treatment. The boutique Melbourne Street clinic has been delivering a highly-tailored approach to aesthetic cosmetics since 2016 with its array of skin rejuvenation therapies, body sculpting treatments and injectables. The Ultraformer III is just one of the world-class aesthetic treatments available at Advanced Cosmetic Medicine.

Skin Reset at Bespoke Facial + Body Clinic

on By

We sent content creator Brooke Upton to Bespoke Facial + Body Clinic for a skin reset.

“Arriving at Bespoke Facial + Body Clinic, I knew my skin needed some TLC. I’m fortunate that I often travel for work, but I have been spending a lot of time on aeroplanes and could feel my face was dehydrated. It’s also hay fever season, so my skin was inflamed, irritated and itchy.

I had booked the LED 60-minute facial. Before we started, I had a consultation with founder and director Nicole Grantham using the Scan X Skin Assessment. The machine took five photos of my face using different light wavelengths, looking at UV damage, oil flow, dehydration and my skin age. I have sensitive skin, which the scan highlighted, and it showed areas where my face had dried out. After reviewing the report, Nicole decided to focus on boosting hydration using the clinical Dermalogica UltraCalming PRO range, omitting the gentle exfoliation step. One thing I love about Bespoke is that they tailor treatments to suit your concerns and needs. Skincare isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach.

We moved into the treatment room and started with a double cleanse. Nicole used the PreCleanse oil to remove excess dirt and any nasties before applying the UltraCalming Cleanser. Both products are great for sensitive skin and can go over the eyes. Concentrating on soothing, Nicole spritzed my face with a Calming Mist to reduce inflammation. I was having the red LED therapy, so to amplify the effects of the treatment we applied the Dermalogica PRO Light Energy Masque. Nicole calls the red LED a ‘feel good light’, which reduces inflammation, increases hydration and stimulates collagen.

Once the light therapy finished, I had the Clinical Oatmeal Masque to reduce any remaining inflammation, which felt super nourishing on my skin. While the masque worked its magic, I was also treated to a relaxing scalp massage. My face was spritzed again, and Nicole applied the Dermalogica UltraCalming Serum Concentrate and Calm Water Gelto lock in moisture. None of the products were heavy on my skin, and while they felt lightweight, my face instantly felt hydrated. My appearance noticeably looked and felt smoother, softer and plumper than before. The combination of red LED light and UltraCalming products created a hydrated and healthy base that’ll help me rebuild my skin barrier with day-to-day products.

Besides the gorgeous facial, there’s a level of trust and professionalism you experience at Bespoke. It feels like a luxury retreat – and it’s so good to visit a place where the outside world feels paused. Everything Nicole does throughout the treatment and how she communicates each step means you walkaway with incredible skin and a clear understanding of how the products work.”

In Conversation with Dr Jonathan Azzopardi

on By

Ever thought about an eyelid lift or jowl tuck? Or perhaps a little off the nose? We ask facial surgeon Dr Jonathan Azzopardi all the cutting questions.

Dr Azzopardi specialises in both surgical and non-surgical procedures specific to the face, these include rhinoplasty, face and neck lift, brow lift, blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery, otoplasty or ear reshaping surgery, fat grafting and injectables.

What’s the biggest misconception regarding aesthetic facial plastic surgery?

That aesthetic facial plastic surgery results in an overdone unnatural appearance. Any treatment or any service in any industry can be delivered across a spectrum and if abused by provider or client, can lead to extreme results. Our philosophy is to achieve natural results that are tailored to each individual with an emphasis on bridging the gap between one’s form and function, which is often lost due to an accelerated ageing process or facial element that is in disharmony with the rest of the face.

What should people consider when seeking out aesthetic plastic surgery?

Most importantly, any form of treatment being considered should revolve around the patient. They must only embark on this journey for themselves. Always choose a fully qualified surgeon (in Australia and New Zealand, only doctors with a FRACS qualification, or overseas equivalent deemed interchangeable by the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons, are legitimate surgeons). Additional fellowship training in facial plastic surgery should be sought.

What are the benefits of aesthetic plastic surgery over non-invasive procedures?

The benefits of aesthetic plastic surgery are determined by the patient. For some it is purely an adjustment to appearance in isolation, for others this translates into a wider spectrum of psychological and social benefits. Over non-invasive procedures, surgery is a more definitive and longer lasting modality of treatment. This may also result in a more financially viable path on the long run.

What is your point of difference as a specialist plastic surgeon?

In a surgical specialty that is so broad and diverse, my point of difference as a specialist plastic surgeon is being specifically trained to offer a niche service for very insightful and well-respected patients. I have a natural eye for beauty and quality, traits that years of training and experience can’t necessarily teach.

How do you tailor your service to each client?

Extensive training in craniofacial and aesthetic plastic surgery allows me to analyse each and every element of a client’s face in isolation, but more importantly, in conjunction with the rest of not only their face but also their overall appearance, ethnicity, personality and demeanour. My multicultural and diverse upbringing also allows me to hone into each patient’s points of concern through strong communication and rapport.

So, if someone decides they’re interested in a treatment, what’s the process?

The journey starts with a consultation in a secure, private, beautifully finished practice. This is a time to get to know the patient and understand their wishes and goals and to work out what treatment options suit them best.

They will be given the opportunity to return for a subsequent consultation to discuss any queries that may have come to mind before embarking on any treatment. Seeking a second opinion is always encouraged and there is no pressure and certainly no obligation to follow through with any procedure.

If any treatment eventuates, plans will be made with regards to the specific procedure. Non-surgical injectables are carried out within the same practice during a separate session and any surgical procedures are carried out in an operating theatre in fully accredited private hospitals. Follow up is included post procedure –in some cases, such as with rhinoplasty, patients will be followed up for one-year post procedure.

25 Percent Off Dermaplaning and HydraFacial

on By

Dewy, radiant skin is this season’s best accessory – and, to achieve the glowing look we’re all lusting over, it’s time to re-invest in our skincare routine. Dermaplaning and Hydrafacials are a great way to smooth skin texture and boost natural beauty, leaving you confident and fresh-faced.

The professionals at skin care clinic Laser Hair Removal at the Bay and on Unley, are experts at delivering high-quality, non-invasive treatments in a safe environment. Both the Glenelg and Parkside clinics use only medical-grade equipment and employ registered nurses to perform treatments like dermaplaning, HydraFacials and laser hair removal.

This spring, we’re putting our best face forward with the help of Laser Hair Removal at the Bay and on Unley. Until October 31, new clients of Laser Hair Removal at the Bay and on Unley can receive 25 percent off their first dermaplaning or HydraFacial treatments when they use code SASTYLE. Call 08 8295 7070 to book.

What is dermaplaning? 

Dermaplaning is an exfoliation treatment and procedure that smoothens, tightens and brightens your skin complexion, removing dry skin and rough texture from your face. During the treatment, a sterile surgical blade gently removes the top layer of skin, shaving away dead skin cells and the dreaded ‘peach fuzz’. It’s recommended clients receive dermaplaning monthly.

Who should have it?

Dermaplaning is effective for those who have acne scarring, an uneven skin tone or experience dry skin. It’s also believed to help aging skin as it helps remove the build-up of dead skin cells, which increase with age.

What to expect 

Dermaplaning takes less than 45 minutes to complete and is a painless treatment. A combination of deep cleansing, dermaplaning exfoliation and a post-treatment enzyme peel is used to remove remaining dead skin cells. Dermaplaning is available at both the Glenelg and Unley clinics and costs $150.

What is a HydraFacial? 

A HydraFacial is the best gift you can give your skin, the treatment is a unique, non-invasive facial that boosts your beauty instantly. The treatment cleanses, exfoliates and hydrates through a patented spiral tip that clears pores and releases serums co-currently through a painless suction. A HydraFacial delivers a vortex fusion of antioxidants, peptides and hyaluronic acid performed on the face, neck or décolletage.

Who should have it? 

A HydraFacial doesn’t discriminate – with the treatment perfect for all skin types, textures and ages. Whether you want to address fine lines, sagging skin, enlarged pores, texture troubles or vibrancy, HydraFacial targets all areas of concern with its nifty all-in-one approach. 

What to expect

A HydraFacial takes less than an hour, and the results are immediate. Leave the skincare clinic feeling your best, with the treatment easy to squeeze into any busy schedule. It’s recommended clients receive a HydraFacial once a month. The treatment feels like a cool brush moving across your skin, with results sometimes lasting over seven days. HydraFacials are only on offer at the Glenelg clinic.

Face – $170
Face + Neck – $195
Face + Neck + Decolletage – $220

Beauty-To-You

Anti-ageing to your door, that’s what you get at Bellafache. We chat to founder Natasha Dempsey to find out more.

Away from the bright white lights of cosmetic clinics, Bellafache is an at-home injectable service, tightening and brightening skin from the privacy of peoples living rooms. Treating yourself to a bit of skin TLC has never been so easy.

Founder Natasha Dempsey combined her years of nursing expertise with her artistic interest in cosmetics when she launched Bellafache. The unique concept brings beauty to you, offering non-surgical dermal fillers, anti-ageing injections, skin boosters and more.

“I was a ‘hospital at home’ community district nurse before becoming a cosmetic injector,” says Natasha. “I saw a gap in the market to provide an injectable service in the home.”

Bellafache erases the stress of a busy schedule and sagging skin with its simple yet expert service. There’s no waiting around, unfamiliar settings or pesky skin insecurities with a visit from Natasha.

Over time, our skin and bone structure diminish, losing elasticity and resulting in wrinkles and jowls. Well-placed dermal filler helps re-build the skin’s appearance by replenishing structural fat pads, while non-surgical injectables smooth and tighten the superficial skin layer. Bellafache’s tailored service boosts your natural beauty, leaving you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

“I believe in a holistic approach,” she says.“Structure and quality are both important components to healthy skin.” Natasha’s clients include people in their 20s wanting to prevent fine lines and plump lips to those in their 60s and 70s.

“Some higher risk injectables should only be performed in a clinic, but I always assess and consult first before deciding where treatments should safely be given.”

As Bellafache grows, the popular service is set to include PDO threads and poly-L-lactic acid injections as part of its at-home service. For those searching for in-store services, you can also find Natasha at selected cosmetic clinics across Adelaide and rural SA. As for do-it-yourself care, Natasha recommends daily sunscreen, hydration, quality skincare and peels to stem the appearance of age and boost brightness.

Prefer a salon experience? If in-salon is more your thing, you can find Natasha at the following skincare clinics:

Wedding Ready Skin

on By

Your wedding day is a big deal – and so is your skincare routine. We sat down with Chami from Regenesis Cosmetic Surgery to find out what treatments she’s favouring on the lead-up to her summer wedding.

Regenesis Cosmetic Surgery boosts your beauty with a selection of advanced clinical treatments, delivering desired results tailored to individual skin types and aesthetic needs. For bride-to-be Chami, a pre-wedding skin pick-me-up was what she needed before her big day. This is her skin journey.

“Given I’m in my mid-forties, and this will be my second wedding, I know what I would like to achieve skin-wise for my big day,” says Chami. “Personally, I’m looking for a subtle, natural, refreshed look for my wedding.”

Working closely with Regenesis director and cosmetic surgeon Dr Robin Chok, the duo formulated a plan combining rejuvenating and tightening treatments to achieve the best results for Chami’s skin.

“My advice for brides is to make sure you have a thorough consultation, ask questions and establish clear lines of communication. Also, let’s not forget about the groom – he might like a bit of a refresh too! After all, the wedding day is celebrating both of you.”

Chami’s wedding preparation began with Ultherapy targeting the mid-face, jawline and chin. The non-invasive treatment uses ultrasound technology to focus energy on the foundational level of the skin without disrupting the surface, stimulating collagen production to give a fresher, more youthful appearance.

To lift and tighten her skin, Chami received Bio Threads, a minimally invasive treatment that helps create face structure and produces an anti-ageing effect. Results start to appear from six weeks, and she recommends having this treatment at least three months before your wedding to seethe full rejuvenating effects.

Taking care of her body, Chami plans to complete the Regenesis Tone and Taut package targeting thighs, upper arms, lower abdomen and buttocks before her pre-moon vacation to sunny Singapore. The non-invasive body shaping procedure uses BTL Emsculpt NEO and Emtone to build muscle, eliminate fat and reduce cellulite.

Closer to the wedding, Chami is scheduled for an Exilis Ultra 360treatment for maintenance following the Ultherapy. Combining radio frequency with ultrasound technology creating 360 volumetric heating, which firms and tightens the skin appearance and feels like a hot stone massage! This treatment is suitable for both the face and body.

Lastly, the WiQolifting and brightening treatment will rejuvenate Chami’s skin by stimulating its restorative process. The treatment is suitable for all skinshades and most skin types, paired with the Fotona Laser Intra Oral Treatment to produce skin tightening effects from the inside out.

A month out from the big day Chami is booked to have an anti-wrinkle injectable treatment to smooth the skin. The appointment will focus on the eye area and identify if any dermal fillers are needed.

Finally, the week of the wedding Chami will have a relaxing European Hydration Facial to unwind. The luxurious facial also includes a hand massage and Healite Therapy. This final step in her pre-wedding prep means she will be relaxed and refreshed for her wedding day.

Dr Chok’s Steps to Great Skin

1. Plan ahead and give yourself enough time to have a treatment plan in place to attain the desired results.

2.Support your in-clinic treatments with an appropriate home care regime, recommended by your practitioner to accelerate your skincare goals.

3.Attempt to reduce elevated cortisol levels by minimizing stress where possible, as stress can present in the way of breakouts, weight changes and fatigue, especially in the month prior to the wedding.

4.Use an enzyme rather than a granular scrub to exfoliate to avoid micro tears, inflammation, acne and sensitivity.

Muscle Sculpting Treatment To Try

on By

If you’re struggling to tone your tummy, arms or legs, despite endless gym sessions, this revolutionary muscle sculpting treatment might be for you. The new treatment trumps other body sculpting systems, allowing you to work multiple areas in one session. Genius. Dr Rahma Targett from Advanced Cosmetic Medicine explains.

What is truSculpt flex?

truSculpt® flex is a personalised muscle sculpting treatment that adjusts to your fitness level, shape, and goals to strengthen, firm and tone your muscles. It offers three treatment modes, creates multiple types of muscle contractions and can treat up to eight areas per session.

Who is it for?

As it has three treatment modes and can be adjusted to suit different fitness levels, most people can benefit from a truSculpt® flex treatment. During your consultation, your clinician will discuss with you if you are a candidate, based on your health and medical history.

How is truSculpt® flex different to other body contouring systems?

Other body sculpting systems use electro-magnetic muscle stimulation, which is indirect and nonspecific to treat a general area – whereas truSculpt® flex uses multi-directional stimulation (MDS) to target specific muscle groups. It has 16 handpieces that can treat eight muscle groups in one session, covering the largest treatment area in the body sculpting industry. 

What kind of results can people expect?

Clinical studies have shown an average of 30 percent increase in muscle mass.

How many sessions are needed?

Remarkable results can be achieved with as little as four treatments. Additional treatments may be required to achieve the personalised results you desire.

How long is each session?

truSculpt® flex has two session duration options. Flex classic is 45 minutes and flex+ is 15 minutes. 

What sort of maintenance is required?

A monthly maintenance session is suggested to maintain results, but can be personalised depending on individual results and goals.

Does it hurt?

As the treatment begins, patients feel a gentle contraction sensation and as the intensity slowly increases the muscle contraction intensifies. The results are even and consistent and will be challenging but not painful.

Is there any downtime?

truSculpt® flex is non-invasive, requires no recovery time and patients can immediately return to normal activities after the treatment. Post-procedure, patients may notice tingling in the areas treated for up to a few hours and/or slight muscle soreness or tenderness for 24–72 hours.

Treatment to Try

on By

We sent influencer Lucinda Nicholas for a skin pick-me-up at Laser Hair Removal at the Bay.

“When I arrived at Laser Hair Removal I was met by Veronica, the owner and a skilled skin professional with 20 years’ experience as a HydraFacial consultant.  

We started with a consult, where Veronica asked me a range of questions relating to my skin, including my skin history, the products that I currently use (morning and night) and any skin concerns I had. She also walked me through every step of the HydraFacial treatment so I knew what to expect throughout the service.

It was now time to get started. Veronica began by double cleansing my face to take off my make-up and to ensure my skin was clean before starting the treatment. She then used a patented spiral tip to exfoliate the skin and clear all of the blocked pores. This step was completely painless and felt so soothing on the skin. 

Veronica highlighted the importance of not forgetting your neck and décolletage when it comes to skincare. My mum always reminded me of this, so I’ve known how essential this is since I was a young girl. I was pleased to hear that Veronica included these areas in her services. Once my pores were clean, Veronica began to infuse my skin with a Vortex Fusion, including antioxidants, peptides and hyaluronic acid to help hydrate the skin.  

Veronica talked me through each step of the treatment, including the tools and products she used. It made me feel so comfortable and confident that I was in good hands, especially as this was the first time that I’d had a HydraFacial. I also felt well-informed about how to treat my skin post-treatment and improve it in the future.  

By the end of the treatment, my skin had an instant glow and felt so soft and hydrated. I could see the difference in my pores and how much they had reduced in appearance. There was no downtime, so I could continue my day as usual.

It’s now been one week post-treatment, and I am delighted with the results. I feel more confident going make-up-free and when I do wear make-up it sits on my skin much nicer than it did before. This experience really has reaffirmed to me how important it is to see a skin care professional such as Veronica regularly.”
