Finding the right foundation is one of the hardest things about make up. Once you find the right color what about finish and texture? Here are the top 8 types of foundations and what would suit you best.

What Is Your Fave Type of Foundation?

Liquid

•  Dry to Oily Skin
• Comes in a variety of coverage
• Traditional and easiest to use
• Best if applied with brush , sponge and fingers. Fingers should be a last resort.

Mineral

• Combo to oily skin
• Feels light weight
• Most are water resistant so pat dry and its back to life
• If you have dry skin make sure you use a setting spray so that your skin doesn’t look too dry.
• Best if applied with dense brush

Tinted

• Best for a natural look while still evening out the skin tone
• Creates the most youthful appearance as it is dewy and sheer
• Apply concealer in areas needed

Cream

• Can be sheered out with a wet sponge.
• Great for travel and on the go from day to day. You can create the intensity that you desire
• Creates a creamy appearance so powder down for a matte finish
• Best if applied with foundation brush or wet sponge. I prefer wet sponge.Then use it again to spot conceal.

Mousse

• Best if applied with fingers and sponge
• Creates a full coverage and satin feel
• Unique in texture and you have to finger dip in a jar.
• Not my fave
• Tighten jar or you will risk drying it out

Powder

• Great for a quick application
• Very popular among MAC users. MAC Studio Fix creates a flawless finish in a matter of sections
• Apply with brush and buff into skin
• Some may have dual uses. Wet brush to create liquid -cream foundation

Airbrush

• May be used with airbrush gun to create flawless finish
• Light on the skin and lasts a long time
• Comes in silicone, water, alcohol and glycerin base. Don’t use alcohol base on the face
• My favorite as it is light weight, full coverage and doesn’t sit in finelines

BB Cream

• Keep in mind that the ingredients in Asian BB and American ones are different.
• Best if applied with fingers or brush
