Not too long ago we discussed how to find the perfect foundation shade, but what about the ideal formula? From powder to mineral to liquid, the options can be overwhelming, to say the least! Today we’ll be focusing on differentiating among the available types and pinpoint which one works best for you and your skin type!
Powder – The lightest of coverage, this type of foundation is sheer and a great option for those with blemish-free skin who do not need a lot of coverage, or for those trying to counteract oily skin.
Mineral – Gives a medium, buildable coverage. A good choice for any skin type.
Suggested brush options for optimum application: F82
Mousse* – Also referred to as “whipped,” this is a newer formula on the market that is known for its light-weight application and provides medium to full coverage.
Cream* – This particular formula tends to have a thicker consistency and gives full coverage. Good choice for those with dryer skin and a great option for winter months!
Liquid* – Provides medium to full coverage. A good choice for any skin type.
* If your skin is oily, opt for an oil-free version.
Pro tip: When possible, purchase foundations that have SPF in them (in addition to what's in your moisturizer) for extra sun protection to preserve your youthful-looking skin!
