Foundation is a type of makeup that is used to visually even out skin discolorations, cover imperfections, minimize the appearance of pores, smooth out skin texture, conceal blemishes and provide a base for other types of makeup. Foundation is meant to match skin color and blend with skin texture. Therefore, foundation comes in shades as variant as human skin tone, and in an assortment of formulas to compliment different skin textures.
Finding the right type of makeup for your unique skin type can be tough! Who wants to spend a lot of money figuring out whether a tinted moisturizer, liquid foundation or a powder is the right choice? Below are the choices to guide you in choosing the right product depending on your skin type and needs.
Tinted Moisturizer
A tinted moisturizer is great for girls looking for a more natural look. Tinted moisturizers are lightweight and don’t feel heavy on the skin. This makes a good tinted moisturizer perfect whether you have oily or dry skin. Be sure to look for an oil-free formula if you have oily skin. Because the coverage from this product is not as heavy as an actual foundation, those of us looking to cover up blemishes or redness may want to try something with a little more coverage.
Liquid Foundation
A liquid foundation offers more coverage than a tinted moisturizer - perfect for those girls looking to even out skin tone and cover redness or blemishes. But some liquid foundations are best left to certain skin types. Once again, if you have oily skin, look for a foundation labeled oil-free or matte. If you have dry skin, look for a foundation that’s either labeled or reviewed as moisturizing or dewy. While if you have sensitive skin, look for a foundation labeled natural, hypo-allergenic or non-comedogenic. This will help reduce the chance of irritation or breakouts!
Powder Foundation
Powder foundation (either compact or loose) offers buildable coverage. Because powder foundation is usually lightweight and easy to blend in to the skin, it’s perfect for a girl on the go who needs to quickly apply her foundation. As with liquid foundation, this type of foundation works better on certain skin types. Girls with oily skin will find that powder helps to absorb oil. Keep in mind that powder can settle into pores and smile lines. This potential to settle means girls with dry skin should probably steer clear. A powder mineral foundation is ideal for girls with sensitive skin, but again, if you have dry skin - look for a tinted moisturizer or liquid foundation for best results.
Stick Foundation
Stick foundation is the hybrid between liquid and powder foundation. It gives a cream to powder finish and is easily blendable. It is suitable for any skin type but most recommended for oily skin.
Mousse Foundation
Mousse foundations are good for every skin type. They are best for older skin, as they don't settle into wrinkles.
