Tips for choosing the right foundation

Say goodbye to those red patches and that greyish complexion and hello to even, natural-looking skin thanks to these few tips on how to select the foundation that will suit you to a tee.

For dry to normal skin

Choose:

  • A liquid foundation. It is not overly oily and contains a touch of powder, which helps to even out the skin tone.
  • Or a compact powder foundation.

For dry to very dry skin

Choose:

  • A cream foundation, because it is richer and has greater moisturizing power.
  • Or a compact powder foundation.

For oily skin

Select a matifying, oil-absorbing foundation. Because they are oil free, these types of products won’t clog pores.

For acne-prone skin

Use a correcting foundation. Ultra-rich in pigments, it masks skin’s imperfections, such as pimples and scars.

For mature skin

Opt for a smoothing foundation, which makes skin look younger thanks to particles that reflect light all over the face, reducing the look of fine lines and wrinkles.

And the best shade?

Pick a shade that is as close as possible to your skin tone by testing it on the inside of your wrist. Examine the result in daylight, or better yet, ask for samples in order to select the shade that suits you best. And remember that afoundation is meant to even the skin tone, while blush and bronzing powder are used to illuminate the complexion.
