All about that base: a proper guide to picking foundation for your skin type

Types of foundationThe first thing to understand is that there are a variety ofย foundationsย you to pick from that vary on the basis of formulation and texture. Choosing a type of foundation is as important as choosing a shade and can be determined by identifying your skin type. The four basic skin types are oily, normal, dry, and combination. Select one of the foundation types from the list below, depending on your skin type.โ€ฏโ€Liquid foundationsโ€ฏThese are the most common formulations you will come across today. These are versatile and are formulated for diverse skin types. They can be applied withย brushes, blenders, and the best tool we all own: fingers.โ€ฏโ€Pro-tip: You can easily mix a liquid foundation with a highlighter, moisturiser, or sunscreen before application. ย โ€Serum foundationsTheseย have a thinner consistency compared to liquid foundations. They are usually lightweight with lower coverage. A serum foundation is among the best if you prefer a natural, dewy look and is best suited for oily, combination, and sensitive skin.โ€Mousse foundations/foundation creamsAs the name suggests, mousse foundations have a texture like whipped cream. They are also lightweight and are suitable for skin with dilated pores. Generally, mousse foundations are created for combination and oily skin. Blending them with your fingers is easiest since they're basically cream-like in consistency.โ€Pro-tip: Foundation cream is similar to serum foundation but is less transparent and more mattifying. Exfoliate thoroughly and rub in some moisturiser before you apply.โ€โ€
