Cream Vs Liquid Foundation
Every woman is tempted to use makeup at some point or other in life. Some try to make themselves attractive in the younger age while at older they try to hide their age signs. Whatever be the reason, choosing the right foundation for the skin type is essential
Creams and liquid foundation both aim to make the face glowing and enhance looks. But each of them has their own technique of application to yield best results.
Liquid Foundations
Liquid foundations aim to give a smooth and clean look. Generally, they contain skin moisturizing ingredients that would revitalize the skin with essential nutrients and also make them smooth and slimy on application. Liquid foundations combined with lubricants are good for dry skin while a semi liquid foundation goes with all types of skin.
These are the best make up base (especially the ones with light tint) that provide the clean and even texture to the skin.
Cream Foundations
Good test to check if the skin is dry or not is to apply foundations and let it stay on for the whole day. After a few hours if the skin absorbs the foundation and if there is need to redo the makeup once or twice a day, then surely it’s a dry.
Cream foundation would be the best form of foundation for dry skin as they will provide them with additional moisture and even out the tones.
Cream foundations are sold as stick or compact. They act as a good weather shield to the sun. They form a protective shield over the skin against sun, wind and cold.
Some foundations can irritate blemishes depending on the sensitivity of the skin. It’s always better to leave the blemish uncovered so that they can heal. But those who cannot do without makeup should go in for medicated sticks. They are made of oil and contain no fragrance and help to cover irregularities and blemishes and cause no irritation.
Choosing a proper foundation color is very important. If it’s too light then the face would look pale and too it would look dirty and made up. Consulting a cosmetologist would be a good way to find the right shade of foundation. They would be able to determine which shade would be best for which skin tone and texture. Other option is to try out different shades from the samples in the store and find the closest match to skin color.
