Foundation: Different Types and Differences
Makeup might be easy but buying a right foundation for your skin is not easy or it's not easy for some. Foundation plays a vital role in your makeup, as its the "Foundation" of the art you're going to create. The best your foundation the better the results will be.
How To Choose Foundation For Your Skin Type:
Its simple, know your skin type and try to use foundation according to your skin tone. Try not to buy far too lighter or far too darker tone for your skin tone as it looks fake. One tone light or dark is better for daily use. But makeup artist use two times light and sometimes dark on models? Yes but then work on whole bodies and you see image after editing and shoot is done under so many lights so there no chance for a wrong skin tone base to look awkward.. If you are confused about why shade to get for your skin then just consult the makeup expert and sometimes girls in the cosmetic shops guides you right, but it's better to have makeup expert point if you're confused..
Types of Foundations:
After knowing what tone suits you next thing for you to know is what type of foundation is for you. Yess it's important to buy a right kind of foundation otherwise it won't give you amazing smooth skin. You might face disasters like patches, grey colour on some areas, too much oil on skin etc.
Right type right is what you need for a flawless makeup.
1. Liquid Foundation:
I have used sticks, pancake, what not but Liquid is my personal favourite. Liquid foundation is good for almost all skin types, from oily to dry to combination skin. All you have to do is to choose the right type, right tone for your skin. It gives to sheer coverage with a little amount sets in your skin perfectly, so perfectly that it's known as "Your Second Skin". Right it's the most popular kind of foundation because if you're an immature or a professional there is hardly a chance of going wrong with liquid foundation. You can apply it with your blending sponges, fingers or foundation applying brushes it's upto you. +Estee Lauder +Armani Dior +Lancome USA +MAC Cosmetics +NARS Cosmetics +L'Oréal Paris and many more have amazing foundations, if you're in Pakistan then Musart Misbah has launched her cosmetics line and her foundations are amazing.
2.Stick:
This kind of foundation is my second favourite, why?? Because it serves as a multi purpose foundation. It works as foundation and a great form of concealer. It is so pigmented and have an amazing coverage that it can cover your marks, scars, even birth marks. Sometimes other kind of foundations just act as a glaze over your birth marks scars etc but stick it just covers them makes your skin flawless. Just like liquid foundation you can use it for daily use as well as for professional use. It also comes for skin tones and skin types. +Anastasia Beverly Hills has launched some amazing shades of stick foundations you better check them from draker to lighter skin tone they have every shade for every skin tone, don't forget +Lancome USA or any other cosmetic line you love it's upto you. If you want something more affordable then Stage Cosmetics have very reasonable range of stick foundations. Sticks are very handy if you're traveling. It's a best foundation for those you want heavy and matte look. I sometimes use it as my concealer plus base if I'm going out with friends or shopping.
3. Cream/ Pancake:
Cream or pancake is such a tricky foundation for some. It's not for everyone, not for every skin type. It's best for dry skin. Why it's not best for everyone? Because it's too heavy and not everyone can handle that. It's more for professional use, or night outs. If it's handled badly or wrongly your face will definitely look different from your body skin tone. It gives you good coverage just be careful while applying it because it's heavy and you don't want your foundation to crack on your skin or too look cakey. Because of its coverage and texture it's number choice of makeup artists specially while shooting. It comes in sticks and in compressed forms.
4.Powder:
Powder is also a kind of foundation. It's something very handy, it's more like "On-the Go" foundation also known for bathroom touchups. It gives you good coverage, its easy to apply because of its non-clogging formula. Little amount makes you look fresh it's suitable for every skin type specially for oily skin and for prone to acne skins. Just avoid the frequent use of just powder on your skin as it dries out natural dry skin. If you have done a glam for some event and your glam needs a touch up even then powder is a good option. If someone drops by your home without informing you all you need is your concealer and powder to get reading in just 5 minutes.
5.Mousse Foundation:
Mousee foundation comes in cream form its best for every skin type it gives you good coverage but i would prefer this for daily use kind of foundation. Just like powder its something ready to go kind of product. It's gives you super matte finish.
Foundation is a base of your glam heavy or not but it's the most important element and choice to make. You just can't take it for granted and make wrong decisions. Hope this will be helpful to many looking forward for your feedback
