Types of Foundations

Foundations are generally formulated as per the different skin types that people associate. Each type of foundation has there added benefits as well as properties to give you the flawless look you. There are various types of foundations that are available in the market. Although, there are four basic and standard types that are available in the market, therefore, here they are:

• Liquid: It is among the most popular type of foundation used in TV as well as the Movie industry. Applying it is very easy and it is ideal for people with combination to dry skin. If you use an oil based or water based formula over your face then this one will truly turn out to be a gem.

• Cream: These can be categorized into two: BB(Blemish Balm) or CC(Color Correcting). Both of these types of cream based foundation have their own purposes. These can be applied on your face like a regular lotion. BB creams are more effective for people who wish to hide blemishes. This one moisturizes and gives your skin that matt texture with a light tone of color. Another one is CC, Well, this one is purely made for color correction. This one gives a bright and glowing look to your face. Also, most of these creams contain anti-aging ingredients.

• Stick: This is mostly used as an addition over your base foundation(basically to give the final touch). A Stick type is very thick and it is important to find the correct shade for your skin. Most of the people use it as a concealer to hide blemishes or either to highlight a certain portion of their face.

• Powder: This is the most commonly used foundation among all the type. Since it is a powdered formulation, this one is actually great for oily skin. These type of foundations are generally very cost effective. Although, this requires being blended and applied carefully for its maximum results.

How to Determine your Skin Tone?

Well, since you know a little about the skin tone now it's time to determine them. I must tell you that sunlight is the best source of lightning. Therefore, in order to know your skin tone, the most commonly used and the easiest method is to click a picture. Although, this time you need to stand opposite to the sun and click a selfie. This will tell you what your actual skin tone is. The time between 11AM-12PM in summers is ideal while in winters go between 1 PM to 2 PM (if the day is sunny).

Now since we have finally figured out our skin tone, it is time to get things a level higher. Now, we will determine your undertone. This is necessary because it is your actual color which was born with you in your genetic makeup. It is essential to know since this is the color that compliments you the most and would help you determine the right foundation. Therefore, the undertone can be divided into the following three types with ways to figure them out.

• Cool: This undertone is generally found in Caucasians who have a pale white complexion. People of this undertone generally have blue or purple veins. Again in order to determine your veins actual color, I would recommend the natural light source(Sun). Also, if silver looks good on you then you are more cool colored.
• Neutral: This undertone is more common in Eastern, Central, and Western region in Asia. You may have seen women from Iran and Iraq(this is exactly it). People with this type of undertone have green and blue veins or maybe a mix of both. Most of these people have an olive complexion.
• Warm: This is the most common undertone in our country. You could have a fair, wheatish, or dark complexion but most likely you will fall under this category if your ethnicity is Indian. People with this type of undertone generally have Green Veins.

To Choose The Best Foundation For A Dry Or Oily Skin, These Factors Should Be Kept In Mind

• Make sure that it matches your skin color.

• Buy the water-resistant foundation.

• As per your want, choose the type of coverage.

• Check the ingredient in the foundation.

• It should be UV protection.

• Make sure that the foundation is suitable for the current weather.

• Before buying the foundation, you should check it by applying on your jawline.

• If your skin is sensitive, then check if the foundation is dermatology tested.

How to Match Foundation to your Skin Tone for Offline and Online Purchase?

The best way to know the right foundation is to test it before purchase. Although, most of the people who go to the market, try it at the back of their wrist. We all know that the color at the back of our wrist is very different than the color of our face, therefore, the ideal place to try it on is your face. All you have to do is take the foundation on your fingertips and stretch a line from your face till your neck. The color that blends the most is the one you should be purchasing.

But, What exactly happens when you are purchasing it online? Well, worry not as it is very easy. Firstly, look for the foundation that you wish to purchase. Now, each and every brand of foundation comes with different shades. All you have to do is take a print of all those shades. Stand in front of the mirror with the most amount of lightning(natural light with selfie camera is way more effective). The shade which blends the most is the one that you should be buying.

Note: If you are thinking of purchasing a concealer then make sure you take a shade lower or higher than your skin type. It totally depends on you and your attire whether you want a little darker look or brighter one.

How to Apply Foundation on Face with Fingers?

The only foundation that can be applied effectively using fingers could either be Liquid or Cream based. All you have to do is take the foundation in one left palm if you are right-handed(vice-versa for left-handed). Now make small dot all over your face covering each and every area. Now start spreading the formula on your face connecting each part of your face. If there are any places that look different then use a tissue and lightly brush it with a mild hand.
