HOW TO PICK THE BEST FOUNDATION

HOW TO PICK THE BEST FOUNDATION

As a beauty expert, I recommend the following tips when looking for the best foundation to invest in;

Determine your skin type

Your skin type can either be oily, dry, sensitive, or a mixture of these 3. Since there is no single foundation for all skin types, identify yours correctly. To ensure that the product does not worsen, consider the skin conditions you face, such as eczema, acne, dryness, breakouts, or redness, to ensure that the product does not worsen.

Identify the right undertones.

To determine the type of undertone to use, I recommend you check on certain body parts; for people with reddish, golden, or yellow chest skin, the undertones are considered warmer. The skin usually has a cool, neutral, or warm undertone. Ensure you pick a shade that matches your undertone no matter the skin color.

Opt for an oil-free liquid foundation

Foundation formulas can be in the form of liquids, powder, or creams. From my experiences, oil-free liquid and cream formulas provide the best results and work more efficiently. For those with oily skin, powder foundations can be good for you.

Determine the coverage level

Pick a product that fully covers the intended skin part. Go for light foundations if your goal is to cover lots of skin. Medium-coverage formulas are ideal for people building a moderate layer. Try mixing the foundation with a moisturizer for an added matte look.
