I research and find the safest and most effective skin care and makeup products to recommend. I don’t expect anyone whose not an expert in skin health to have the time to figure it all out. I’m a huge advocate for supporting companies that provide a universal shade range. If a company doesn’t believe in creating healthier lives for others when it comes to our complexion, then I am not supporting them! And last but not least, the finish of your foundation can make all the difference.
Which foundation will help you achieve your preferred finish?
Luminous finish foundations tend to be powders or liquids that aren’t matte but rather, leave the skin with a ‘glow’. This is due to the use of light reflective particles or ingredients in the foundation, as opposed to moisture that creates a shine.
Matte foundations normally have a fuller coverage and a more powdered finish with no shine. The options tend to come in a liquid, pressed liquid or powder. This is very popular for people that have an oiler skin type that will tend to develop its own shine.
Satin finish foundation is in between dewy and matte, there will be some shine, but not nearly as much as what a moisture rich, dewy foundation offers. These will be options like creams and stick foundations and some liquids as well.
Dewy foundations leave the skin looking very well hydrated with a moisture rich shine on the skin. These foundations tend to be CC & BB Creams or Tinted Moisturizers. These options tend to be more sheer in their coverage and are most popular for those with a dehydrated or dry skin.
My Favorite Foundation Recommendations
I am in love with the pressed and liquid options in the Elate Cosmetics beauty line.
GLO Skin Beauty‘s vast array of different foundations from tinted moisturizers to HD Stick‘s also look incredible on camera or every day.
These two clean companies allow me to have a large range and tons of types of foundation for everyone.
I do complimentary color matches to suit whichever look you’re after.
I know that varying skin types require different foundation formulations and I can recommend something to suit you in person or virtually!
What is my foundation of choice?
I’m not afraid to tell people I prefer all of the different formulation types. Foundation is a personal option and we all like certain styles or finishes for different reasons, seasons and events. Maybe you need a little nudge to start using something different for your skin type. Maybe you need help getting the foundation you love to look right on your skin. I would love to be your beauty expert!
