Not every product works for every face; but every face does have a perfect match when it comes to foundation. Creams, liquids, and powders all behave very differently and may not be ideal for each skin type. So how do you know what will work best for you? Let's simplify things.
Dry Skin: If you have patchy, dry skin that tends to get flaky in the winter, powders may not be your face's BFF. Make sure to exfoliate your skin regularly and moisturize each night before bed. This will give your skin the much needed drink it's so thirsty for, and give your foundation a better canvas to hold onto. Opt for a great Cream Foundation to keep your skin hydrated all day. Creams retain moisture longer than liquids, locking in the good stuff right where your face needs it the most.
Oily Skin: If you have the opposite problem, and everything you wear slides right off your face, try a high quality Powder Mineral Foundation and treat your skin to a luxurious Oil Control Mask at least once a week. My favorite mask doubles as an acne spot treatment- just pop a dot of this creamy formula onto troubled areas for overnight results. Powdered foundations come in either loose or pressed, and are fantastic at keeping oil at bay. Pair with setting powder for extra oil control on humid days.
Normal/Combination Skin: You're living right in the sweet spot. Normal to combination skin can be unpredictable, and prone to breakouts, but you do have more options when it comes to foundation needs. Try a Detoxifying Mask on a regular basis to blast excess dirt and oil from your pores. Liquid foundations work exceptionally well on your skin type, and my favorite has a mattifying effect that dries to a powder finish. This keeps your T-zone from looking too shiny and any dull areas nice and bright!
Aging Skin: A good number of ladies ditch foundation as they age and it becomes increasingly difficult to find a product that doesn't settle into wrinkles or give your skin a caked on appearance. BB Cream to the RESCUE!! This product will be your new best friend, giving your skin back its glow and providing a beautiful level of coverage without drawing attention to fine lines and creases. Pair with a creamy concealer on days when you need a little extra boost in coverage and treat your skin to a weekly Brightening Mask to boost cell health and fight off dullness. My favorite brightening mask also battles sun damage and age spots!
The best part about foundation is that it's all about what works for YOU. Play, have fun, and discover what works best for your skin tone. What's MOST important is that you love the way you feel and look in your foundation of choice.
