TYPES OF FOUNDATIONS

1.LIQUID FOUNDATIONS: Liquid foundation is the most popular kind amongst makeup users. It's easy to work with and it's. These usually come in bottles and tubes .The coverage can range from super sheer to full. Thanks to their texture , liquid Foundations are to blend and the coverage can be built up gradually . Another great thing is you can easily mix 2 different shades together to get the perfect match .

2.TINTED MOISTURIZER FOUNDATIONS: These are not really foundations per more like moisturizer with just a slight tint of color to even out of all foundations and are great for those who are blessed woth flawless skin or want light coverage .

3.POWDER FOUNDATION:These usually come in compacts and are great for creating the matte look or for touch ups .Some can even be used dry and wet for more coverage and they work best on oily skin .Like stick Foundations ,powder Foundations are convenient and easy to use.If you have dry skin ,try to limit the use of a powder foundation to touch ups only . putting powder on your dry skin would only accentuate wrinkles and flakes .

 4.STICK FOUNDATIONS:These  are similar to cream Foundations but provide an even heavier coverage .One thing I like about stick Foundations is their practicability . Stick Foundations are great for traveling and they can double as concealers as well .The downside is most of them tend to contain oil and can clog your pores more easily .

5. MINERAL FOUNDATIONS:These are made out of crushed minerals extracted from the Earth and are free of preservatives ,talc,oil, fragrance and other harmful chemicals . They usually come in loose powder form and provide medium to high coverage.

6. MOUSSE FOUNDATIONS: Unlike cream Foundations . mousse foundations actually dry to a powdery finish. They tend to creat a matte look and are good for people with combination skin.

7. CREAM FOUNDATION:Great for achieving the dewy look , these usually come in compacts and jars and work best on dry skin . They tend tk have a slightly heavier coverage compared to liquid Foundations. Make sure to apply sparingly as a little goes a long way .
