Foundation – the must-have for a flawless base
With the perfect foundation to suit your skin type, your entire make-up look is immediately perfected. A wide range of finishes and consistencies allows you to optimize the coverage and effect to suit the occasion as well as your own preferences. From liquid to powdery, from sheer to opaque, there is a product for every requirement.
Foundation types at a glance
While the first commercial foundation was still a solid cream, there are now many different elegant textures that fit like a second skin and do not look like a mask, even with high coverage. Here is an overview of the different types of foundation:
- Powder foundation: A powder foundation can be applied both dry and wet, allowing you to flexibly vary the coverage from light to high. It provides a long-lasting matte complexion without looking like make-up, especially for combination and oily skin.
- Liquid foundation: A liquid foundation is suitable for all skin types as it is available in the widest range of finishes. A less opaque version with a glow effect is ideal for everyday wear, while a high-coverage foundation with a matte finish can be relied on for any event.
- Foundation stick: It can be applied directly to the face particularly quickly and blended with your fingers or a sponge. A foundation stick is therefore perfect for your everyday make-up routine and for touch-ups in between.
- Cream foundation: A cream foundation has a slightly firmer consistency than a liquid foundation and comes in a cream jar. With its medium to high coverage, it is particularly suitable for heavier make-up while providing hydration at the same time.
How to find the right foundation for you
To find the ideal foundation for you, you should follow a few steps. With these tips, you not only ensure a perfect color match, but also that the product perfectly matches your skin type:
- Determine your skin tone: Not only your skin tone is important here, but also your skin undertone, i.e. whether it is cool, warm or neutral. This can be determined, for instance, by the veins on your wrist or the color of the jewelry that suits you best.
- Find your skin type: As mentioned with the foundation types, there are different formulations that suit different skin types. You should therefore know whether you have dry, normal, oily or combination skin before choosing a foundation.
- Check the ingredients: Some people do not tolerate perfume in cosmetic products very well, others want a foundation with skincare benefits or a vegan version – there is the right product for all needs.
