 We
have all seen cases of 'mismatched' foundation. Not good.
Choosing the right foundation is a very important part of your makeup
routine and should be treated as such. So, where do you start? Color
matching is very important but there are other factors to consider as
well such as coverage type, texture and skin type. There are many
formulations and types of foundations out there. This article will help
you find the ones that are perfect for you. Let's start with the basics
and get the low down on the types, textures and what really works with
your skin.Powder Foundations Mineral foundation
is very popular in the wake of popularity of 'natural' cosmetics.
Mineral foundation can be in a loose form or a compact. It has light to
medium coverage and can be used on normal, combination and sensitive skin. Compact Powder foundation is usually fine milled and goes on very smooth. It is great for normal and oily skin. The coverage that the compact powder provides is buildable and it is popular because it gives a very nice matte finish. Powder Acne foundation is acne-medicated to help with break-outs and blemishes. It is great for oily and combination skin. Cream-to-Powder foundation is easy to control as it goes on in a liquid-cream state and dries like a powder finish. It is great for normal to oily skin and you can easily control the amount of coverage you apply. Cream Foundations Cream foundation is very moisturizing and great for dry skin. The foundation is sold in compacts, jars, and bottles. It gives skin a dewy, radiant and youthful look. Stick Foundations Stick foundation
is great for getting lots of coverage on specific areas of the face.
It is available in a cream or matte version and your skin type should be
considered before making the final purchase. Liquid Foundations Long Wearing foundation doesn't break down with the oil on your skin during the day and as a result it stays put. Hence, it is great for oily skin. It is really important to clean your face properly after wearing it all day. Illuminating foundation gives skin a dewy youthful glow and is great for dry skin. This foundation is very popular because it gives dry skin what it is lacking. Matte foundation is an oil-free foundation that absorbs oil and prevents shine. It works best with combination and oily skin. Matte foundation can also be applied for heavier coverage in the case of covering breakouts. Acne
foundation is a salicylic-medicated foundation created to treat your
skin while you wear makeup. It is often a matte foundation so it
absorbs oil and works best on oily and breakout-prone skin. Anti-aging
foundation is a moisturizing foundation that helps to minimize fine
lines and wrinkles. They have medium to full range coverage available
and often times contain illuminating ingredients that help give dry skin a youthful glow. Tinted Moisturizer foundation
is foundation mixed with a moisturizer and provides a light coverage.
There are many options of tinted moisturizers including oil free and
SPF. Makeup Artist and Beauty entrepreneur Nicole Lundy publishes the 'Flawless Beauty' bi-weekly e-zine. |
