Have You Used The Correct Foundation?

“I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipstick.” ― Audrey Hepburn

And if you are someone who believes that, then you must know all about Foundations!

If you like applying cosmetics, then you must already know that every makeup is incomplete without Foundation, which is literally the “foundation” of every flawless face paint.

A. So, we will begin with, what is Foundation?

1. Foundation is a powder or liquid which is applied to the face before makeup to create an even colour to the complexion, hide flaws, and sometimes, to change the natural skin tint.

2. Some foundations also work as a base layer for more complex cosmetics.

3. Foundations applied to the body are commonly known as body painting or body makeup.

B. There are seven types of Foundations, each of which are defined as one by one below.

1. Powder Foundation: Classic and primary, this one is packaged and made in convenient ways to be used on the go. It gives you a more natural and flawless look.

2. Liquid Foundation: It provides excellent coverage on the skin and allows you to smooth out any patches you might have. It is also a widely used one.

3. Creamy Foundation: This one is heavier and thicker than the liquid base. It is also longer-lasting and contains more shade varieties to make your skin glow all day long.

4. Stick Foundation: As the name itself suggests, this type of foundation comes in a lipstick-like form. It dries quickly and also has a lasting effect on the skin. It is the best suited for those with oily skin.

5. Mineral Foundation: Made from finely grounded earthly minerals, this foundation is natural, available for all skin types.

6. Spray Foundation: A not so popular foundation, this one can be applied to every kind of skin, and at any time of the day. It is used as an easy touch-up tool.

7. Whipped Foundation: This foundation is applied as a thin layer on the skin and a type of creamy foundation. It best suits dry or aging skin.
   

All that we knew about the foundation ends here, and we would love to end this article with yet another great quote by Audrey Hepburn,

“There are more important things than outward appearance. No amount of makeup can cover an ugly personality.”
