Understanding Foundation Types

Foundations come in various forms, each serving a unique purpose.

Liquid, cream, powder, and stick are common types.

• Liquid: Versatile and buildable coverage.
• Cream: Offers a thicker consistency for full coverage.
• Powder: Ideal for oily skin and quick touch-ups.
• Stick: Convenient for on-the-go application.

Choosing the Right Shade

Finding the perfect shade is crucial for a natural look.

Test shades on your jawline in natural light.

• Consider your undertone: warm, cool, or neutral.
• Match your foundation to your neck, not your face.
• Always swatch before buying.

Application Techniques

Proper application enhances the foundation's finish.

Use tools like brushes, sponges, or fingers.

• Dampen sponges for a dewy finish.
• Use brushes for a more polished look.
• Fingers can warm the product for better blending.

Setting Your Foundation

Setting your foundation helps it last longer.

Use powders or sprays for a matte finish.

• Translucent powder for a lightweight feel.
• Setting spray for a dewy, long-lasting finish.
• Blotting papers for touch-ups throughout the day.

Removing Foundation

Proper removal prevents skin issues.

Use a gentle cleanser or makeup remover.

• Double cleanse for thorough removal.
• Micellar water is effective for sensitive skin.
• Follow with a moisturizer to hydrate.
