I research and find the safest and most effective skin care and makeup products to recommend, so you don’t have to. I’m a huge advocate for supporting companies that provide a unversal shade range, believe in creating healthier lives for others when it comes to owning your complexion, the finish of your foundation can make all the difference.
My favorite recommendations for foundation are Elate Costmetics, GLO Skin Beautys vast array of different foundations from tinted moisturizers to HD Sticks that look incredibble on camera or every day. They 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. Here are a few handy hints to help you decide which foundation will help you achieve your preferred finish.
- Luminous finish foundations tend to be powders 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. 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.
- Dewy foundations leave the skin looking very well hydrated with a moisture rich shine on the skin. These foundations tend to be more sheer in their coverage and are most popular for those with a dehydrated or dry skin.
I know that varying skin types require different foundation formulations and I can recommend something to suit you in person or virtually!
What is your foundation of choice?
I’m not afraid to tell people I prefer all of the different formulations, because foundation is a personal option! We all like certain styles or finishes for different reasons and maybe you need a little nudge to start using something different for your skin type. I would love to be your beauty expert!
