Make-Up Foundation Types
Which one is suitable for you?

Picking up a suitable for your skin type and needs foundation base is essential step to a perfect complexion. But discovering the make-up base that works best for you can be a real mess. First, there are lots of different types of this product. Second, it can be problematic to choose the best base for your skin type and tone

I hope this little guide that presents the most popular make-up foundation types will be helpful.

Fluid Make-Up Foundation Base

This foundation base is characterized by a smooth consistency and light texture.

It can be applied to all complexion types, however if you have oily skin - choose matt fluid that will absorb the excessive sebum during the day. Some brands offer also foundations enriched in substances that help to nourish and moisturize skin. It can be a good idea to pick up a cosmetic that offers also high protection against harmful UV rays during the summer days to ensure optimal sun protection.

Good quality fluid is light in texture yet covers skin imperfections beautifully and it looks natural. Fluid base can also amplify the reflection of light and optically soften facial contours if it contains light-reflecting pigments.

Compact Make-Up Foundation

It looks like a pressed, very concentrated powder and it's comfortable in use. You can apply compact foundation with a dry or damp sponge - to achieve sheer or fuller coverage. It is highly effective when you need to make quick make-up corrections (you can use it instead of traditional powder for this scope).

Good quality compact foundation should be silky and characterized by long-lasting formula that keeps skin hydrated and matte during the day. Some compacts contain special wrinkle erasing pigments to manipulate the light in a way to receive the illusion of less fine lines. So the major benefits of compact foundation is a comfortable usage, adaptable coverage and natural satiny finish.

Mineral Make-Up Powder

Mineral powder is ultra-sheer but very effective. It was designed for women after intense cosmetic or dermatological treatments, but after revealing it's effectiveness and comfortable application, it was introduced to a mass distribution and it has a lot of success nowadays. It is suitable for all skin types, but especially suggested in case of oily skin since it helps to absorb excess oils and to matte the skin while still allowing your skin to breathe.

One of the main differences between mineral and traditional make-up is that synthetic pigments are replaced with powdered minerals that do not irritate skin and do not clog pores up. Some producers add also pure silk powder to receive silky, light texture of the foundation base.

Mousse Make-up Foundation

Mousse-type foundation is so light and fluffy because it contains micro-air-bubbles that makes it very easy to apply to your face. It is far lighter than compact base yet offering similar coverage. It mattifies and smoothens oily skin.

Good quality mousse foundation provides soft application, it ensures maximum comfort and natural-looking, satin make-up finish.
