The Foundation Makeup Guides

Ask ten girls to name their one be-all-end-all makeup product and all of them will say ‘foundation’ even before you can complete the question. The art of perfecting foundation makeup is perhaps the first skill that a makeup beginner learns and rightly so. Well, if you’re still struggling with getting that base right, you’ve landed at the right place. Here begins your journey to finding the best foundation for your skin tone.

Liquid Foundation

Easily the popular variant, liquid foundations have a lot to offer. From creating a dewy or matte finish to providing light, medium or full coverage, a bottle of liquid foundation is highly recommended for a beginner.

Stick Foundation

A foundation stick makes the application super-easy and non-messy. Especially recommended for women who are always on the go, you can carry this beauty in your handbag for easy retouches, without worrying about the chances of an accidental spillage.

Cream Foundation

The perfect foundation for dry skin, cream formulas provides medium to high coverage and leaves your skin with a smooth texture. However, if not blended well, they can end up looking cakey and unflattering.

Mousse Foundation

Mousse or whipped foundation have very little air whipped into them. This manufacturing process makes the foumula lighter and smoother, so it goes on your skin a little easier. Good for mature skin as it’s less likely to settle into fine lines and wrinkles.

Powder Foundation

Don’t see the point in hoarding dozens of color correctors? High-five! Much like your regular compact but with higher coverage abilities, powder foundations come in two options – pressed and loose. Both are perfect for almost all skin types and can be easily carried anywhere for easy foundation makeup reapplications.
