Which Foundation is right for Me?
By Heather Nixon
Our skin tones come in so many different shades, from warm tones, pink, or neutral. The best
way to test your shade is to swipe it along your jawline. You want it to disappear into the skin. There
are so many different formulas. Do you want a natural coverage or full coverage? Do you want a dewy
or matte look? Here’s a super tip! A makeup primer fills in imperfections which allows the makeup to
stay true to color and wear all day!
Tinted Moisturizer - light and natural. A moisturizer, foundation and SPF all in one!!
Sheer Foundation - This is great if you have fairly good skin. Sheer Foundations provide a very
sheer, silicone base which is good for all skin types.
Liquid Foundation - Perfect for all skin types and is available in oil free and dry skin formulas.
You can choose a dewy or matte finish, with coverage you can build on.
Cream Foundation - Creams usually have a thick consistency, but still provides adjustable
coverage from light to heavy. You can use a sponge or a brush to apply.
Powder Foundation - This is an excellent choice if you have oily skin. Powder absorbs oil and
provides a matte finish. It’s portable, so you can do your touch ups throughout the day.
Foundations are one of those items that you want to splurge on as it’s the most important part of
your makeup. The best foundations can be found in Department stores where makeup artists can help
pick out your perfect shade and don’t be afraid to ask for a sample! Try before you buy :)
Next month we will be talking about Holiday Color! Stay Tuned!!
