Let's Talk about Foundation

I don't know about you all but the number of choices for everything is going up. It used to be a cup of coffee at the store, now you have an endless number of choices including flavors and milk type. It is the same with foundation. Foundation is no longer just limited to a liquid that you have to battle to find close to your shade. So, with all of the choices, how do you know which one is right for you? Guess what, I did the research for you!

Liquid Foundation
Liquid foundation is also known as cream foundation. It goes on as a liquid and you must wait for it to dry to put on the remainder of your make up. If you have oily skin, you will want a matte finish. Those who have normal to dry skin, however, can use luminous foundation for a full day's coverage.

Creme-to-Powder Foundation
Creme to powder foundation starts as a cream but acts like a powder when dried. It has a matte finish, so it is great for skin types that are combo to oily. It is also great for skin that is beginning to age, as it will not cake up in the fine lines of the face. This foundation can also be used for touch-ups or a concealer throughout the day.

Mineral Powder Foundation For a natural finish, you will want mineral powder foundation. It is the best foundation for making any fine lines and wrinkles disappear. It is also good for sensitive skin or those with allergies.

CC Cream
If you don't have time to put make-up on but want to look put together, CC Cream is the answer. CC Cream evens the skin tones and offers sun protection. It can also be worn under foundation to help match colors.








When you are looking for which to select, ask yourself the following things:

• What type of skin do you have?
• What benefits are you looking for?
• What finish do you want?

If you are unsure, then you definitely want to talk to a skin care consultant who can help you learn more about your skin. Just as important as what type of foundation to use, you will want to purchase the right color. When you try a foundation out, place a small amount on your jawline and if it disappears, you have the proper shade!
