如今，绝大多数粉底都有SPF这种基础成分，能抵御紫外线对皮肤的伤害，它们也成为像眉笔一样普及的日常必备化妆品了。将皮肤变成古铜色的产品有很多形态：粉状、乳液或是喷雾。这些产品的目的在于让你的脸看起来有阳光照射过的光芒，同时又不会真正晒伤皮肤。对作为化妆师的我来说，美黑底产品的出现让我如获至宝。我以前的很多客人厌倦了她们苍白的妆容，纷纷来找我，寻求一种比她们自然肤色黑的底霜。出于对她们负责任的态度，我决不会让她们去冒险尝试一些有害的东西。只需要在前额、鼻头、颧骨和下巴处扑上一点点古铜色粉就能得到梦寐以求的日晒效果。

A beautiful and aristocratic Indian woman came by my counter and insisted on purchasing one of our foundations in the lightest shade. She had a beautiful caramel coloring, but the color she wanted to purchase was more suited for someone like Nicole Kidman. She was adamant in her decision and didn't take my advice. Sure enough, she came back a few weeks later, admitting the color made her look like she was wearing a mask. I have seen and cringed at many of the same situations here in China - women who are wearing foundation that makes them look gray and ashy.
