Here are some detailed tips to help you find the best foundation for your skin type:

·Dry skin may feel tight and may even appear in scaly patches. Choose a moisturizing or moisturizing foundation.

·Oily skin likes to glow (in other words, shine), especially on the forehead, nose, and chin. Use a matte or oil-free foundation to maintain the shine.

·Combination skin A little bit is fine! To treat dry and oily patches, you may need additional products or an all-purpose primer.

·Normal skin is Goldilocks skin type - not too oily or too dry. You're in luck—most foundation types work for you.

2. Color Coding - Know Your Skin Tone

Your skin undertone is warm (peach, gold or yellow), fabulous (pink, red or blue) or neutral (something in between).

Your perfect foundation needs to match your skin tone and undertone so it blends seamlessly with your skin.

3.Choose your potion - choose the right recipe

Once you know your skin type and undertone, you can choose the right foundation formula.

·Dry skin? Look for moisturizing or creamy formulas.

·Oily skin? Oil-free or matte formulas are your friend.

·Combination skin? You should mix and match or find a balanced formula.

·Normal skin? Most formulas will work for you - pick your preferred coverage and get results.

4. Play Hide and Seek – Think About the Cover You Want

Foundations are available in sheer, medium and full coverage. Vertical coverage is lightweight and looks more natural, while full coverage subtly hides imperfections and discolorations.

The level of protection you need may change depending on your plans – date night, work meeting or casual gathering.

5. Try Before You Buy

Always test the foundation before buying. Rub it across your chin to see if it works for your face and neck. Don't trust store lighting - check the color in natural light too, if you can.

Top tip: some primers will discolour as they dry, an insidious process known as "oxidation." Let the primer dry completely before deciding if it's suitable.

 

6. Choose a Finish

Primer finishes can be matte (no shine), satin (a little shine), or wet (like you're glowing).

A matte finish is usually best for oily skin, while dry skin prefers a dewy finish. Satin finish is suitable for most skin types.
