How to choose a foundation for your skin type?
When choosing a foundation for your skin type, you have to take into consideration:
- Skin tone
Check whether you have a warm or cold skin tone. It is easiest to assess in the daylight. Take a piece of paper and place it against your face, if the skin will appear blueish or pinkish, you have a cold skin tone. However, if the skin appears yellowish or goldish, you have a warm skin tone. - Choosing the best shade
The well-chosen foundation should be invisible like your second skin. The finish should be as natural as possible. How to choose the best shade? Apply a few colors of your choice on to the jaw. After a couple of hours check which one is the least visible on the skin. This is the one you should choose. - The right action
The action, properties, and ingredients match with your skin type. Mattifying foundation will work for mixed and oily skin, while for dry and normal skin best is a moisturizing and lightly highlighting product.
Foundation and skin type
If you opt for natural, long-lasting, and beautiful makeup, then match a foundation to your skin type, and so:
- dry skin likes liquid foundation that nourishes and moisturizes, best with vitamin E;
- sensitive skin and mineral or pharmaceutical foundation are a great mix because this cosmetic can minimize irritation;
- mixed skin will benefit from double power foundation that mattifies the T-zone and moisturizes the cheeks;
- oily skin will get along well with a mattifying foundation that also regulates sebum secretion;
- mature skin makes a perfect duo with lifting and slightly shimmering foundation;
- couperose skin likes covering foundation that is also able to strengthen the spider veins.
