Foundation

    A beautiful makeup starts with a beautiful foundation application. Now there are different types of foundation and formula and I'm going to go through all of them too help you understand which one is best for your skin.

   Tinted moisturizers: This is for normal or normal dry skin. Gives this shear lightweight coverage and is alternative to foundation. Provides a totally natural look.

Tinted face balm: For extra dry skin. Provide sheer coverage intensively hydrate and gives skin a dewy finish. Balms actually plumps the skin and reduces the appearance of fine lines.

Sticks foundation: For all skin types except oily. Provides easy spot coverage and is also buildable for medium to full coverage. Best foundation for photography.

Liquid foundation: For dry to extra dry skin. hydrates and smoothes providing medium to full coverage.

Moisturizing Compact: For dry to extra dry skin. Hydrating formulas provide medium to full coverage.

Whipped foundation: For combination skin and great for skin with texture. Balances the skin by hydrating dry areas and absorbing oil in the T zone. Provides median to full coverage.

Oil free liquid foundation: For oily skin. For combination skin in the summer. Absorbs oil and still smoothes while providing light to medium coverage.

Oil free cream foundation: For normal to oily skin. Absorbs oil providing medium to full coverage. A good choice to cover acne and large pores

Oil-free powder compact: For oily skin. Provides medium to full coverage. Because of the portable packaging compact foundations are great for touch ups

Mineral powders: Suggested for very oily skin (be careful when choosing color. Oily skin can change color of powders and they may appear dry and pasty.)

   There are exceptions to the rules because many companies make different products for example something new that has been added or people have been raving over lately is BB cream which stands for beauty balm. It's a tinted moisturizer to help cure acne and also cover acne. I tried a BB cream a couple days ago when I went to Sephora and I really like it so I am going to do a review over it soon.
   I preferably like light mineral powder Foundation. I use the Bare Minerals Originals and I really like it. It is really light weight and natural sometimes a lot of liquid foundations can really clog pores and cake so I tried powders and I just like them so much better.

I hope this helps. Feel free so ask me any questions :)

I love you guys and I hope everyone is having a beautiful day . I just want to give a shout out to my best friend Isaac, today is his birthday. So HAPPY BIRTHDAY ISAAC :)
