What foundation makeup to buy? Tips to buy the best foundation makeup

Before you buy your makeup base, we invite you to follow the following tips:

Choose the texture of the foundation make up according to your skin type, for example, if your skin is oily or has shine, it would be ideal to choose a powder foundation as you can find on our website.

It is important that you always choose ingredients that are suitable for your skin type, for example, if your skin is too dry, it would be advisable to buy a foundation with oily and moisturising ingredients.

Avoid a mask effect by choosing a foundation that matches your skin tone. If you're looking for a darker finish, you can use a bronzing powder.

A foundation makeup with other properties? we say yes! choose a moisturising, mattifying, pore-smoothing foundation... in short, the best one for your face.

Buy a foundation makeup with a sun protection factor. If you don't use moisturising cream with sun protection, it's important that your foundation does contain it to protect your face from radiation, and remember, you need to protect yourself from the sun even if it's cloudy!

If you are not going to use it a lot, it is important to choose a small size because once opened, the foundation expires in a year.

Buy foundation makeup according to your skin type

Every skin type is special! And that's why every skin type needs specific care with specific products, and foundation is no exception.

Types of makeup foundation

Your skin type, the coverage and finish you want and your makeup skills will be determining factors when choosing which type of foundation to buy.

Buying powder makeup foundation

Before buying a powder foundation you should distinguish whether you prefer a compact powder foundation or a mineral powder foundation.

The make up foundations of compact powders are indicated for skins with few imperfections, have more tones and can be found in different degrees of coverage. Applying this type of foundation will give your skin a velvety complexion.

On the other hand, the foundations of makeup of mineral powder are indicated above all for oily skins, they are more uncomfortable for its application that the foundations of makeup in compact powder since they require a specific brush, the kabuki brush.

Buying liquid makeup foundation

Buying a liquid foundation is betting on the classic formula, always a sure hit.

Liquid foundations are perfect for evening out skin tone and can be moisturising or matte.

Our favourite is Catrice's Liquid Coverage!

Buying mousse or cream foundation

This format is recommended to achieve a velvety complexion, leaving a natural finish.

They are not recommended for oily skin as they are not easily absorbed, want to choose yours? Do it in our section of cream´s makeup foundations.

Buying stick or stick foundations

Stick foundations are not as well known as liquid foundations but they are a convenient format to use, saving time and space.

This type of format was previously used mainly in theatre and television but lately stick foundations are gaining more and more prominence.

They are recommended for all skin types and can be applied directly to the face, blending with a brush for a lighter finish or with a sponge for more coverage.

When it comes to buying your foundation, Maybelline is always a good choice, and our favourite is the Superstay.

Buying BB Cream and CC Cream.

BB Cream combines moisturiser and foundation, it's a hybrid type of foundation, much lighter than the rest and therefore has less coverage.

Some of the most recommended BB creams are the Dermacol BB Magic Beauty Cream.

The CC Cream, on the other hand, has the same benefits as the BB Cream but provides greater coverage.

Buying Cushion Foundation

If you love to innovate and break with tradition, cushion foundation is a must-buy!

It is the latest revolution in makeup, it is a format with a microporous encapsulated sponge, which distributes a liquid foundation.

Unlike other make-up foundations, it is a liquid foundation in compact form which makes it more practical, in addition, it provides a natural finish to the face.

It is suitable for all skin types, our favourite is undoubtedly Avene Couvrance.

How to apply the foundation?

Once we have chosen the right shade and format to buy our foundation, the next step is to know how to apply it.

First of all, the skin of our face must be clean to avoid clogged pores that can cause imperfections in the makeup.

The next step is to apply our moisturiser, especially if our skin is dry, it is important to hydrate it as much as possible.

In case the foundation we use has a built-in sun protection factor, applying our facial sunscreen is optional.

Next, apply your primer or pre-makeup base, on our website we also explain how to apply it.

And finally, your make up foundation.

To apply your foundation correctly be careful, start by applying a small amount of foundation and add as needed.

The goal is to apply where it's needed and to keep the skin looking natural, if you have to apply it all over your face you're using the wrong shade!

Start by applying foundation from the centre of the face, where redness and blemishes are most noticeable, outwards.

Apply on each side of the nose, in the centre of the forehead and on the chin and from these areas, blend the foundation over the parts of the face that need it.

If, after blending, there is any other part of the face where coverage is needed, you can add a little more - remember to blend on the neck and ears too!

To blend, it's important to press lightly and don't rub, whether you do it with your fingertips or with a make-up brush.

Apply powder and concealer only where needed, and your make-up is ready!
