Foundation texture

We turn to foundation creams when it seems to us that we urgently need to save face and in no case show our shortcomings to anyone. To date, cosmetics manufacturers have come up with so many different types of this product that customers can simply run up their eyes.

There are only four of them. Each of them performs its function.

1. Thick foundation cream - This is a cream containing a lot of coloring matter, which allows you to perfectly hide all the irregularities of the skin. It is important not to overdo it with such a strong cream, and therefore try to apply carefully.
2. Camouflage - rarely used as a last resort, difficult to apply. Usually used to hide any scars, moles or age spots. There is even a special liquid that will need to wash off such a cream after use.
3. Light - Manufactured using silicone oils. It is easy to apply and rinse off here. The most common and commonly used type.
4. Cream powder, oddly enough, also apply to foundation creams. It serves our skin in order to remove excess oily sheen. Those with dry skin do not need to consider this option.

Everyone knows three types of skin: dry, normal and oily. There is also a combined one, but here it is worth considering individual characteristics and choosing, relying not only on the texture of the cream.

Oily skin - this is exactly the case when light creams containing oils will not work, since the action of the foundation here should be to absorb excess sebum. Dense textures are a great option.

Dry skin, as we know, moisture is always required. Therefore, water-based foundations are the most suitable. They are liquid and easily fall on the face, moisturizing it.

Allergic skin the assortment in stores today can offer many different hypoallergenic products.

Manufacturers also took care of sun protection. It is present in almost every brand.

• With a matte effect. Relatives of dense, suitable for oily skin, applied with a sponge.

• Hydrants. Presence of water and fats. Suitable for dry and normal skin. Applied by hand, replace moisturizer. Allow the face to look young, fresh, without the effect of a mask.

• Powders. For oily and combination skin. For dry, it is not suitable at all, since the powder contains absorbent substances in its composition. Use with a moisturizing base.

• Fat based. Relieves excess dryness of the skin, including in the cold season. But in the summer, on the contrary, you should not use it. The cream can spread unpleasantly, melt. Women with mimic wrinkles will benefit from covering with such a cream.

• Foundation. Hides imperfections, mattifies, evens out skin tone. Unlike a fat-based foundation, it withstands warm weather and stays on the face.

• In stickies. Firm corrective cream. It is used pointwise in order to hide bumps or spots. It is better to use a sponge for even application.

First of all, choosing a tool that should hide facial flaws, be the basis for makeup, whether everyday or evening, girls and women should be guided by the following criteria.

• The most important thing that every woman who is going to buy her first foundation should remember is that it should be half a tone lighter than the color of the skin.
• As mentioned above, carefully check the composition for the presence of allergenic products for you.
• In winter and summer, we advise you to acquire tones of slightly different shades: in winter and autumn - cold, in spring and summer - warm. Sun lovers should not forget that their skin will differ by a couple of tones.
• Consider also the reason for which the foundation will be applied under the make-up on the face, as the evening version can be denser and more thorough than the daytime one.
• The presence of thermal water in the composition, which improves the quality of the skin care cream. You will find this option with the Vichy brand.
• Foundation cream can also be used for face care due to vitamins and oxygen-containing components, as, for example, in products from Bourjois.
• Moisturizing, nourishing and UV protection are three important factors when choosing a foundation. Maybelline New York releases a whole series with the listed properties.
• The durability of makeup, which, alas, cannot be checked directly in the store, but only to take the word of the sellers. Renowned for its 8-hour Maxfactor exposure.

High-quality and one of the most effective bases for makeup has become, according to women of different ages, Maybelline New York "Baby Skin". The product is soft and stays on the skin for a long time.Delicate texture masks enlarged pores and other irregularities. Budget option for every day.

Another highly valued product of the modern cosmetology industry is fluid cream. The fluid cream has virtually no fat, which is why it is so well suited to anyone with oily or normal skin. Those who have already tried it recommend using Vichy "Dermablend". The big advantage of this company is the exposure of the product for 12 hours on the face, while it is completely invisible. It has sun protection and can be used at any time of the year.

Tonal mousse is not as widely known as powder, but no less useful. Its feature is the possibility of air penetration into the pores of the skin, as it is not absorbed at all, keeping the surface matte and perfectly smooth. Suitable especially for oily skin, fights against early wrinkles. Bourjois Nude Sensation ranks first in the ratings in the sale of this type of product offered.

Someone covers unwanted pimples with a thick layer of thick cream, while someone does not like their freckles. With freckles, everything is simple: choose darker tones, closer to the color of your tan. And it’s not difficult with rashes: take the fluid cream already mentioned by us with a slightly yellowish tone, it will look quite natural.

Known for their ease of use and suitability for all skin types, BB and CC textures are the perfect solution for summer makeup.

Cream powders and other powders cannot be a base, they act as a transitional element. But they don't seem to work without them. They are a kind of fixers for the layer of cream that you have already applied.

In the hot season, do not forget about the antibacterial effect of many tonal products. For problematic skin, this is an important issue. And remember that no properly selected texture will cure acne, there are other products for this purpose.

The right tool is the key to a beautiful make-up for any woman.
