1. Pick a product for your skin type:
It is important to know whether you have dry, oily, normal or combination skin before applying foundation. This will determine what foundation is right for you. Many foundations are specially designed for different skin types.- A light foundation, such as mousse is great for oily skin. You can also choose an oil-free liquid or powder foundation.
- A liquid foundation with a built in moisturizing element is perfect for dry skin. You can also choose a hydrating powder or stick foundation.
- Apply a powder foundation if you have combination skin. This allows you to distribute more of the oil-absorbing makeup where you need it and less where you do.
2. Choose the right foundation color:
As the name implies, your foundation is the basis for the rest of your makeup. To make sure that it acts as a blank canvas, choose a foundation that matches your skin tone identically. Try multiple shades of foundation on your face (rather than your hand or your neck), and stick with the color that matches your skin tone without blending.
3. Get the coverage you want:
Most people can simply grab any medium coverage foundation, but if you have specific coverage needs, keep those in mind. Visit the makeup counter at a local department store and try on versions on each to determine which feels the most comfortable and looks the most realistic on your skin.
- Loose powder provides the lightest coverage.
- Pressed powder provides light coverage.
- Aerosol foundation provides medium coverage.
- Liquid foundation provides full coverage.
- Cream foundation provides the most coverage.
